What even is April at CU Boulder? Well it's a lot of things. Its a week of 70 degrees and sunshine followed by a random blizzard with over a foot of snow. Its savoring the calm before the storm. Trying to squeeze in as many hikes as possible before the onslaught of midterms and finals. Its the anticipation of knowing that you only have a few weeks left of school mixed with the sense of dread knowing that you will be parting with many of your friends once school gets out. It's hot. It's cold. It's fast and it's slow. It's greatest and worst month of the year. This is April at CU.

1. You can't trust your weather app.

Don't trust it for a second. Sure it says that it will be 70 and sunny this week, but this is Colorado. Snow and hail and rain are fair game.

2. Midterms, midterms, midterms...

Sure its sunny and gorgeous outside and your phone won't stop blowing up, but lucky you have exams. You have to turn down all your Chautauqua invites and ignore everything happening on The Hill and try not to die.

3. Conference on World Affairs

You know that feeling when you try to squeeze in as many CWA talks as possible and blow off all your responsibilities but its fine because its the freaking Conference on World Affairs?!?!?

4. What to wear, what to wear...

Girls you know what I mean. Remember that morning when it was so nice outside so you decided to wear a cute sundress but by 2 it was raining? Exactly.

5. The bikes are back.

Oh its that time of year again. Time to fear for your life the second you step on to campus because of crazy bikers who will run you over if you don't watch out!

6. Overcrowding at Farrand Field

Its the best place to tan, really.

7. Hiking trails are open!

A nice afternoon in Boulder means everyone is heading to Chautauqua. Its lit.

8. The Rio, Rush Bowls, and everything summer!

yummmmmmm.

9. StuDYING.

10. Saying goodbye

Saying summer goodbyes is the more bittersweet moment of all time.

11. Moving out.

Its just so so exhausting.
