70-degree weather. Everyone laying out in the quad after class. Dozens of people sitting outside of restaurants Uptown. Miami's campus has a charm to it year-round, however, if the spring season was a person, he or she would be the life of the party. The happiness that flows from Spring to High Street is undeniable. Whether it's the heat, the sun, the music playing, or just the idea that summer is around the corner, everyone loves the spring semester at Miami University.
When it's a smoldering 80 degrees out and your friends ask you to head to Hueston Woods.
Canoeing, swimming, picnicking, HW has it all. If you haven't ventured off to Hueston Woods yet, take the time this Spring to make your debut.
You crawl up on your roof, or someone else's for that matter, to bake in the sun and soak up every ray you possibly can.
And if you don't have a roof, there is nothing wrong with the dollar store lawn chairs.
Sangria is finally appropriate to drink ... always.
I'm sure you have just the pitcher for it!
Someone texts your GroupMe relaying that the Redhawks Varsity Baseball game is giving out free hotdogs in the last inning.
This is not a myth, and they run out fast. Come out and support Miami's spring sports!
Formal season, baby.
Girls paint coolers, guys buy a new pair of Chubbies. Either way, formal is a wonderful time for people to come together for night/weekend to remember. Or forget — it depends.
Everyone somehow gets better looking (if we even thought that was possible).
Miami is known for having some of if not the most beautiful people on a college campus. In the Spring, this definitely shows.
Starbucks is now open and on meal plan so naturally you go three times a day.
Maple Street did us all a favor, and our meal plan balances a disservice.
Everyone wants to be facey and run outside.
Don't get me wrong. I love a nice, breezy run. Despite Oxford being relatively far north of the Equator, there are days where the weather could be mistaken for Miami, FL. If you are running outside and it is 85 degrees, you are either looking to pass out, or looking be seen. You do you, facey people. You are more fit than me.
Guys actually throw footballs outside of frat houses.
No, this doesn't just happen in movies.
Suddenly, clothes are no longer a thing.
Oh, you "forgot" to wear them.
It snows cherry blossom in the most beautiful way.
I swear the school looks like it was decorated out of Home & Garden.
Something about being at Miami in the Spring makes you want to be stuck in time forever.
Spring semester is always something to look forward to.
