As the weather gets warmer (we hope), it's time to head outside and breathe in some fresh air and time to soak up the sun.

Even though most college students are still on campus as the weather gets warmer, there are plenty of things to do around campus and downtown to enjoy the spring fever.

1. Go for a walk or a run.

Call your friends and go for a walk around campus, or walk to the beach or downtown area. Take a walk up to Bellarmine and find the Zen Garden. It's actually pretty cool, and if you also walk to the edge of the hill, you can spot the famous Fairfield turkeys' home. There are actually 1,000 of them lurking down below.

2. Go downtown for lunch.

Go to Firehouse Deli and indulge in one of their amazing sandwiches. The Thanksgiving and Redgate have my heart forever. There's also a million other fantastic places to eat downtown. Better yet, order take out and bring it to the beach.

3. Go to the beach.

Organize a beach day with your friends. Pack some towels and hang out on the beach. It's so fun to get some schoolwork done at the beach or just hang around and relax.

4. Hang out in the Quad.

Nothing is better than on the first really nice day of spring when everyone is out on the quad. It's so fun to walk around and socialize. It's fun to hang around and get some work done outside as well.

5. Take a day trip to the city.

Go for shopping, maybe a Broadway show or even a fabulous Sunday brunch with your girls.

6. Go to Westport, New Canaan or Greenwich to shop.

Honestly, hands down best places to shop in the state of Connecticut. So many cute boutiques for you to shop in and stock up on some spring and summer clothes.

7. Have your family come up for the day.

Fairfield University’s campus is beautiful during the spring and it's so nice to have your family come up and take a walk around campus. It's also a great time to go downtown and go out to dinner. There's so many great restaurants, some of my favorites during this time of year are the ones with outdoor seating so that you can eat and enjoy the quaint town of Fairfield.

8. Go downtown to do homework.

A fun way to spend a Sunday with friends and a great way to catch up on some work. Downtown has some really cute coffee shops that are perfect to hang out in for the day. There are also places to sit outside downtown like at the gazebo or at the tables at the beach.
