With high temperatures hitting almost 90 degrees last week, it definitely is beginning to feel like summer at the Woods!
And with that comes all the little things we’ve forgotten how to live with during the winter like sticky dorm rooms, frizzy hair, and pesky bugs.
But, on the plus side, there are no worries about slipping on the ice on the way to class. As the stressful end of the semester looms, take advantage of the wonderful weather.
Sunshine is your best friend this time of year! Catch up on your tan while studying out on the balcony, brighten up your room with some sunlight and fresh air, and get your daily dose of vitamin D.
After three months of the winter blues, the sunlight is a welcome sight. The late daylight hours make the day seem endless, and you might find yourself more productive when there is still a nice open window and sunset to sit by. I recommend doing your homework outside or by an open window- it definitely helps keep your morale up!
Another way to enjoy this weather is changing up your wardrobe. What better excuse to go shopping than new summer clothes?
Transition your wardrobe from coats to shorts slowly.  It’s only March and Indiana has been known to throw in some end-of-season snow storms.
But, if it seems like you are in desperate need of new sandals to go with the June-like weather, go for it!
Finals week is just around the corner, but don’t let the homework keep you from missing out on this rare gem of a March. Take a study break, grab your iPod, and go for a walk! All the beautiful things you’ll see if you just wander around campus are amazing. Find some pretty flowers. Pick a few and put them in your dorm room to bring spring indoors.
It’s a beautiful start to the second half of the semester.
Love your Le Fer Life, ladies!
