With the sun finally out, and lingering a little longer on the horizon these days we all feel the coursing excitement of something approaching. You hear the sound of birds in the morning and are seeing a little more green around campus… could it be? Yes. Spring is finally approaching; and with that is spring break. If the midterms don’t get us, the anticipation certainly will. We’ve looked ahead on our calendars , daydreamed, and circled this week for months. The expectations have fueled our fantasies about tropical getaways, homeward visits and the like. We don’t want to be disappointed…our imaginations have created this whole world of hope, and escape from our everyday lives as college students. But disappointment falls by the wayside through the lens of anticipation. For now, all we see are the sun’s rays and spring’s promise of joy.
