Theres arguably nothing better than a heatwave spring semester in Madison. After being frozen in negative degree weather for about 4 months, the first signs of heat are extremely exciting. Get ready to take off your big winter jackets and snowboots, spring might be here? This weather automatically puts anyone in a better mood, here are 5 things that happen when theres a heatwave:

1) Going to the Terrace

With a heatwave in Madison the terrace is definitely one of the first places we all think of to go. Thanks to global warming the lake is still frozen enough for us to walk on, yet we don't even have to wear winter jackets. Take a walk on the lake, do work outside or at the memorial union, or enjoy a meal outside, the terrace is definitely a perfect place to go.

2) Food Carts

Definitely one of the best, most unique things about our campus that is missed during the winter. Weather its for study break, class break, or just going for a walk, food carts are the perfect place to go with friends and grab some food. Sitting outside eating food from the food carts is a great Madison experience that everyone loves to do when it's nice out!

3) Darties.

Day. Parties. Need I say more?

4) Running outside

When the weather is nice all you want to do is be outside. Walking or running on the lakeshore path is a great way to spend part of your day. Exercise outside and enjoy the sunshine and slight heat since it won't last for long.

5) Walking to the Capitol

With the sun shining and the weather nice and warm, the Capitol is a perfect place to go. Take some time to walk around the Capitol and get brunch with family and friends. It's a perfect way to spend some time in the sunshine and enjoy it while you can!
