After bearing the terrible winter that I had heard so much about, spring days where the temperature gets up to 50 gets everyone in a good mood. Although this winter was honestly not as bad as I thought it would be, there is still a lot to be grateful for, especially when the sun decides to come out.

As I mentioned before of course, the sun:

The best days in Cuse are those that are not only sunny but warm as well. A major thing that I have learned about the school this year is the air in the winter is something different. Your skin is constantly dry and the walk back to your dorm is actually one of the most brutal things in the world. The days where it's warm (something that only happens the first and the last weeks of school) is absolutely amazing. People are not only wearing shorts, but they're actually smiling. Weird right?!

There are more things to do in Syracuse:

As we all know, doing things in the winter is the absolute worst. Going outside is brutal, and there's absolutely no motivation to do anything. In my opinion, running outside is significantly better than a treadmill. Once it starts getting nicer, actually being able to run outside is amazing. In addition to this, Greenlakes is a stunning place to go once it really gets warm to get out of the bubble that the city of Syracuse is. Moving away from the luxury of a beach close by, not having the ability to go swimming is really hard to get used to.

Mayfest:

As one of the best parts of the school year, students have the opportunities to go to this massive concert. It is a great end to the year and an amazing start to the summer.

You Have Made SO Many, Friends:

The end of the second semester is a great time for reflection the year you just had. This year, I am blown away by the number of amazing friends I have made. I am so grateful for them and excited that I have a group of such amazing people.

Overall, the second semester is the best. Winter is over the weather is getting better, and summer is right around the corner. Enjoy it!
