I know when the first moments of spring hit our campus. It is when I wake up early in the morning because there is a certain smell creeping in under the window that doesn’t close all the way. It is because when I wake the birds are making sounds that they only make at that time of year. They are happy birds.
And I definitely know when spring hits our campus because all of a sudden, in the course of one day, the quad is lined and littered with people. Blankets are spread out, balls are kicked around, Frisbees make war paths across the paths of pedestrians, and as the days grow on towards May, less and less clothing is worn.
Crossing the quad during that time becomes a social obligation. It is like navigating a busy party where clusters of your friends are around every corner. People are more aware of what they are wearing as they go to class, since now the animals are not the only spectators of the outdoors.
I am not complaining, though. I love those days just as much as the next eager mville student. When all the trees are budding around the parameter of the walkways, people smile more. That’s just a fact. I guess, really, spring on our campus helps us remember why we liked it in the first place.

The spring means the quad here at Mville, (which also means skipping class, sorry professor!!!) haha. Everyone seems to be in such a better mood when the weather is nice and people can be outside, but who could blame them!
