Snow days are great – and we had quite a few of them this
year – but I think we can all agree that Fordham’s so ready for spring to get
here. For the past few days, we’ve had consistently warmer weather, which
basically means spring’s right around the corner. And very few things in this
world are as absolutely beautiful as Fordham in the springtime.

| Saturday concert - Spring Weekend 2014 |
When I was visiting colleges, I made sure to visit all of my
top choices during all of the season changes, just to see how different the
atmosphere was between the fall, winter, and spring, and let me tell ya….
Nothing beats spring at Fordham. The campus is truly reawakened and
reinvigorated. I went around and asked some of my friends about some of their
favorite things about Fordham in the springtime; here’s a list of what everyone
can agree on!
1. Sitting on Eddie’s.
2. Eating lunch on Eddie’s.
3. Meeting friends after class on
Eddie’s.
4. Playing Frisbee/football/WHATEVER
on Eddie’s.
5. Tanning on Eddie’s.
6. Eddie’s. (Or Edward’s Parade – the
large grassy area outside Keating. You can’t miss it.)
7. Attending Spring Weekend, the
final weekend of the spring semester before the start of finals. There’s a DJ
on Friday night, a concert on Martyr’s Lawn on Saturday afternoon, the Under
the Tent dance on Saturday evening, and a comedian act on Sunday. Definitely a
memorable weekend each year.

8. Being able to wear skirts and
shorts to class after months of wearing 3 layers of heavy sweaters and still somehow
managing being cold.
9. Opening the windows of your
dorm/apartment after huddling in 3 layers of blankets and still somehow
managing being cold.
10. That one tree in front of Queen’s
Court that blooms pink flowers.
11. SPRING BREAK is NEXT WEEK.
12. Fordham landscaping in general (it’s
on point, you guys…).
13. ICED COFFEE.
14. Walking down Arthur Avenue and
eating lunch or getting a cup of coffee and sitting OUTSIDE for a change.
15. Going to the city because it’s finally
not sleeting anymore…
16. And finally: realizing that
graduation for the seniors is only a few months away, which means we’ll be
saying goodbye (for now but not forever) to some of our best friends while
simultaneously saying hello to a new class of freshmen – the newest additions
to our Ramily.
