Coming back from Christmas break is always bittersweet. Getting to return to Oxford is the bomb, but coming off the high of holiday parties only to be greeted by cold weather, diets, and school work is no fun. However, the second semester brings a whole four months packed with fun activities.
1. Spring Parties Really no explanation necessary, but in my opinion, these are the football season of the second semester. There is just nothing like throwing on some redneck/beachy/hippie clothes on a Saturday and heading to a big party (and if you’re a sorority girl, you’ll be getting a picture that’s cute enough to Instagram).
2. Baseball Season Ok, I take that back. I guess baseball season is really the football season of second semester, except games are not just limited to weekends. Let’s go, Rebs!
3. Double Decker Food + Music + Shopping + the Square + Warmer Weather = YES
4. New Classes This one is kind of nerdy, but by the time winter exams roll around, I think everyone is ready for a whole new schedule. See ya never, Geology!
5. Fraternity Formals in New Orleans If you’re a girl that’s lucky enough to get asked to a boy’s formal, get ready to head to the Big Easy! What’s more fun than a fun date and New Orleans? I can tell you what’s not: painting the cooler. Oh well, it’s a necessary evil.6. SPRING BREAK Easily the best break of the whole school year. Whether you’re jetting off to Cancun (ME!), hitting the slopes in Colorado, road-tripping down to Florida to ride some roller coasters, or anything in between, there’s nothing more fun than a trip with your best friends! If money is holding you back, try planning a stay-cation here in Oxford!
