Resplendence

— adj
having a brilliant or splendid appearance

This one is rather self explanatory. Here we are back on campus after tropical travels and worldly getaways. The week behind us seems like a whirlwind as I myself was on a beach in the Dominican and then 12 hours later driving through a snowstorm in New Hampshire. The funny part about it, as a Millennial, I noticed without cell service down there…I didn’t really mind. It was a nice break from technology. Yet as soon as I landed I looked around me and there we all were with smartphones in hand, and dying to reconnect. Oh well. It was a nice vacation. But as the sun is shining and the snow is seemingly melted, Middlebury doesn’t look half bad. In fact, we wonder why we were so reluctant to leave. Well that is if you don’t count the hundreds of pages of reading or whatever, but everyone carries a certain radiance about them. you can’t help but wonder is it simply their carribbean tan? Or the vivacity of the spring? Either way, it is with the greatest hope that everyone, tanned or not, is healthy and well rested and ready for spring semester to really commence.

    Ughh I wish I was in the Dominican Republic for Spring Break! I went to North Carolina, expecting lots of sun and golf. But, sure enough, it rained four out of six days… I guess it’s not that dreadful to be back at Midd… maybe just because I never got a taste of the good weather. Let’s hope spring comes quickly
