Spring is Just Around the Corner

Today is the first day in a significant while when the temperature bar will rise above fifty degrees. Along with the ushering in of March, these signs can only mean one thing. Spring is racing towards New Brunswick and the Rutgers community. Spring, second to summer on my list of favorite times of the year, can be associated with a great deal of things. Whether it be students relaxing on the grassy knolls of Livingston campus or kicking back and relaxing on the benches by Brower Commons, everything and everyone seems to come to life. In the opening scenes of many college movies, the audience is exposed to huge fields of lively students playing sports, having lunch, and hanging out with their respective groups. Although Rutgers can't really compete with this surreal view of college life, the warm weather brings our best shot at attaining this type of lifestyle.
I can't mention spring and daylight lengthening without the mention of sports. Baseball, America's pastime, is emerging and Spring Training is starting up. To represent a completely biased view, everything gets better with the commencement of the baseball season; life gets that much sweeter. The Keller cup Spring sports are around the corner and Dance Marathon preparations are being made. With so many events around the corner, Spring will be a busy season and I think I speak for everyone in our class when I say that it could be the best one we've ever had.
