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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
