It is getting warm enough for some days now that I can say winter is over! Experiencing spring on campus at the University of Iowa is so exciting and I can’t wait to share some of the things I am looking forward to. Here is a list, use it as a bucket list for spring:

1. Studying outside (bonus points if you are in a hammock or bring a blanket to the Pentacrest)
2. Walking everywhere (ditch the bus because the weather is nice)
3. Walk it Out (A showcase of diversity through fashion and music, and to my knowledge the biggest multicultural group on campus!)
4. Sidewalk sales (downtown shops tend to put clearance items on the sidewalk when the weather is nice)
5. Using the parks and courts on campus for a catch, spike ball, volleyball, or basketball
6. Live music (there is always an event going on in the pedestrian mall across from campus that has some live entertainment when the weather is nice)
7. Thursdays on the Terrace (Weekly events at the Iowa Memorial Union on campus to give students a break from studying and a chance to win cool prizes)
8. Wilson’s Farm visits (a farm close to campus where you can go pick your own fruits, vegetables, and flowers)
9. Iowa City Farmers Market (the biggest farmers market I have ever been to and there is always such a great variety of vendors)
10. Hiking or biking trails (trails are short around here, but perfect for a Saturday morning wakeup call)
