Heat waves in the spring get students hyped on campus. It becomes impossible to focus on work, and you feel like a little kid again with all the sudden urges to play outside. Students always make the most of heat waves, as they only last a day or two. It becomes crucial to bask in the sun for as long as possible to hold you over until summer. Regardless of how you spend your time outside, you could probably fit yourself into one of these categories.
1. The Hammockers
This bunch I'm usually always jealous of this bunch. Mostly because I just don't have a hammock but even if I did it would take me hours to set up anyway. They just sway their way through the day. Reading, napping, basking in the shade, they have it made.
2. The Studiers
I usually identify with this student, as I take advantage of the beautiful weather while still staying on track with my workload for the day. I can only study outside for an hour or two before I start getting distracted, which leads me to abandon ship and hang with some friends.
3. The Slack-liners
Have a pair of trees that are too far apart for a hammock? Whip out the slackline and get walking! I feel like I could never master this activity (balancing and heights just aren't my thing) but it is really fun to watch people who actually know what they're doing.
4. The Frisbee Throwers
Who doesn't love frisbee? It is an easy way to have fun with your friends while catching some rays. You may even attract a few other students who would want to join! Everyone wants to be friends with the kid who has a frisbee.
5. The Loungers
Finally, there's just everyone else here for a good time. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and why waste it by spending it indoors? Find some friends, get a beach towel and a speaker, and get chillin' on the quad because the heat wave will be over before you know it.
