How You Know Spring Has Sprung At William And Mary

How You Know Spring Has Sprung At William And Mary

March 20 is the first day of spring this year, and William and Mary has been gearing up for sunshine and warm weather true to form. So, in case you don't know what that means, here's a list of the top ten ways you know spring fever has reached the twamps (even if you haven't left Swem to note the hot temperatures...):

10. Birkenstocks have ousted the Bean boots

This fast transition is a little rough since you can't run in sandals all that easily; and if you don't think that that's a big deal, think again because...


9. The Soft Serve machine is empty before the lunchtime rush even hits Sadler.

This means that it's every man for himself. Unfortunately, a meal without ice cream may not be your only bummer.


8. There also isn't any ice left in the fountain soda machines.

Even though you may have to suffer through the lukewarm water, you can at least avoid the long food lines because...


7. The food trucks are rebooted!

Just as the food trucks line the Terrace...


6. Hammocks begin to outline the Sunken Gs.

Now the higher you climb, the better, because the trees are covered for another pastime:


5. Tightrope walkers come out to entertain themselves, and bystanders, all over campus.

Now, I've personally never seen a successful go at it, but it's all about the effort, right?

Now we are at college after all, so things also change in the classrooms; instead of coming in like Eskimos...


4. We all come to class flushed and sweaty.

We've all been there, though, so no shame. Plus, everyone's so giddy about the warm weather they are too busy to notice. But when you're not in a rush, take a break and wander down past Merchant Square because...


3. Dogs have literally taken over CW.


2. Unfortunately, so have middle school tour groups...

However, if you ask them, we are the ones imposing (ah, those good old days of preteen sass). At least they don't know where the best place on campus is! Not that there would be any room for them if they did since...


1. The Terrace gets overrun by campus.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
