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:
- Studying outside (bonus points if you are in a hammock or bring a blanket to the Pentacrest)
- Walking everywhere (ditch the bus because the weather is nice)
- Walk it Out (A showcase of diversity through fashion and music, and to my knowledge the biggest multicultural group on campus!)
- Sidewalk sales (downtown shops tend to put clearance items on the sidewalk when the weather is nice)
- Using the parks and courts on campus for a catch, spike ball, volleyball, or basketball
- 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)
- 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)
- Wilson’s Farm visits (a farm close to campus where you can go pick your own fruits, vegetables, and flowers)
- Iowa City Farmers Market (the biggest farmers market I have ever been to and there is always such a great variety of vendors)
- Hiking or biking trails (trails are short around here, but perfect for a Saturday morning wakeup call)
