March 20th is the official start date for the spring season. You can start feeling the effects of spring already. The weather is warming up and the sun is out almost every day now. You can see students outside having a picnic and enjoying themselves. You can also see students enjoying spring break on campus.
This year, Easter is going to be celebrated on April 1st, which is April Fools Day For those that don't know, April Fools Day is dedicated to pranks and hoaxing.
