How You Know Spring Has Sprung At William And Mary

March 20 is the first day of spring this year, and William and Mary has been gearing up for sunshine and warm weather true to form. So, in case you don't know what that means, here's a list of the top ten ways you know spring fever has reached the twamps (even if you haven't left Swem to note the hot temperatures...):

10. Birkenstocks have ousted the Bean boots

This fast transition is a little rough since you can't run in sandals all that easily; and if you don't think that that's a big deal, think again because...


9. The Soft Serve machine is empty before the lunchtime rush even hits Sadler.

This means that it's every man for himself. Unfortunately, a meal without ice cream may not be your only bummer.


8. There also isn't any ice left in the fountain soda machines.

Even though you may have to suffer through the lukewarm water, you can at least avoid the long food lines because...


7. The food trucks are rebooted!

Just as the food trucks line the Terrace...


6. Hammocks begin to outline the Sunken Gs.

Now the higher you climb, the better, because the trees are covered for another pastime:


5. Tightrope walkers come out to entertain themselves, and bystanders, all over campus.

Now, I've personally never seen a successful go at it, but it's all about the effort, right?

Now we are at college after all, so things also change in the classrooms; instead of coming in like Eskimos...


4. We all come to class flushed and sweaty.

We've all been there, though, so no shame. Plus, everyone's so giddy about the warm weather they are too busy to notice. But when you're not in a rush, take a break and wander down past Merchant Square because...


3. Dogs have literally taken over CW.


2. Unfortunately, so have middle school tour groups...

However, if you ask them, we are the ones imposing (ah, those good old days of preteen sass). At least they don't know where the best place on campus is! Not that there would be any room for them if they did since...


1. The Terrace gets overrun by campus.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
