Spring Fever

March Madness. 60 degree days. Midterms. Budding romances. Spring break in the number of days you can count on your hands. Daylight Savings Time... I'm telling you, the anticipation of spring does crazy things to people.

Honestly, think about how you behave in the spring. Look at how your friends are acting. Crazy stuff happens now. We all know it.

We're restless. The snow is melting, the days are longer. The semester seems almost like we're ready to write it off, yet those term papers and tests just won't go away. Basketball is on 24-7. We're fake baking in anticipation of Spring Break. I'm gonna throw it out there, people are looking to mix it up.

For many, this means entering a relationship (or I'm not one to judge, maybe just a fling). I'd put down the names of my friends who are doing this senior scramble, but they'd hurt me. Some release their craziness by stirring the pot, saying crap like President Anderson hates vaginas and the natural lands. Others just freak out... about their lack of a job or internship, their intense class load, their relationship status, the list goes on and on. Or conversely, some just blow off their obligations, stay in their sweats and watch movies. Whatever floats your boat.

If none of these describe you or your posse, I commend you for your dedication to life, despite the internal need to emerge from the dreariness of winter. If you can relate, well, I really have no good conclusion to spring fever except for this... Look around, see how your friends are handling their stir-craziness, then, dare I say, look at yourself. Hopefully you're not doing anything that will mess up the rest of your life. Maybe just something juicy enough that one day, it will be page-turner in your memoirs.
