Spring Has Sprung

After an unusually chilly winter and an unexpected ice storm, spring has officially arrived on our campus!

Though it's been warmer for a while, I first noticed a change one day about two weeks ago. As I left class that afternoon, the Japanese magnolias outside the Commons caught my eye. Just weeks before, they had been covered in ice, but now they were blooming with thousands of tiny pink blossoms. Between there and my residence hall, I saw beds of flowers, ferns, and other plants--my vision was filled with rich emerald green, pink, purple, and blue.

That last one has been my biggest surprise!

After all, they’re the ones that dressed us in all those clothes we still complain about, and yet those styles are the ones that come back 10 years later on full-grown adults! Maybe you remember some of these […]
