Here in North Carolina, we are lucky that Spring greets us as early as February. With the recent string of 60 and 70 degree days, Wake Students can be seen all over campus basking in the sunshine. Here are 5 things Wake students do to enjoy the exceptional "winter" weather:
1. Break out the ENO
Yes, those hammocks everyone seems to have get whipped out when the sun begins to shine. Deacs can be spotted all over hanging from precarious places. Some are studious and some are just having a good time with friends. Either way, all are celebrating the coming of Spring.
2. Go for a run through Reynolda Gardens
Forget the gym. When the weather is nice, students are hard to see as they race along the trails adjacent to campus. Some are getting a workout while others take leisurely walks with their friends.
3. Wander over to the Grayln Estate
Just down the road from campus, students also enjoy the stunning grounds of the Grayln Estate. Like Reynolda Gardens, the grounds offer a variety of paths to walk and soak up the sun.
4. Relax at the tables on the Quad
The tables that are spread over the Quad are also filled with students. They are popular places for students to enjoy lunch, chat with friends, and work studiously under the sun.
5. Roll out a towel on the Quad
Students also like to bring a towel and lie in the grass. Some prefer the shade, others the direct sun--it's a good thing the Quad can satisfy both requests.
