The return of warm weather after winter means many things on
the Rose Hill campus. Spring intramurals start up, trips to the Botanical
gardens are planned, and the campus greens are filled. The Rose Hill campus
offers the best of both worlds- a city setting with a quintessential college
campus. One benefit of this is that there is a lot of green space on campus to
go to and relax when the weather gets nice. Eddie’s is the main green in the
center of campus, and the past few days it has been filled with students
reading, throwing a football around, and kids playing Frisbee. A popular space
for freshman to hang out when the weather gets nice is Martyr’s lawn.
One of my favorite memories on Martyr’s lawn occurred spring
semester of my freshman year. There was
unusually warm day during the last week of January last year, and as I walked
back from class I was surprised to see both Eddie’s and Martyr’s lawn packed
with people. As soon as I got back to my room I changed into my sneakers and
headed back out for a pick-up soccer game with my friends. We stayed outside
until it was dark, along with many other students. I’m so glad that the warm
weather has once again returned this semester, allowing for the spring-time
activities on Eddie’s to commence once again!
Eddie's in the spring!
