After months of cold G.W. students are enjoying warmer weather as the temperature has finally allowed people to shed their jackets for light sweatshirts. Students can now participate in outdoor activities and take advantage of what seems to be an early spring.Michelle Khodorov, a resident on G.W.’s Mount Vernon campus, for example, explained that she is pleased with the weather, which allows her to lounge on the grass while doing work and run outside in the neighborhood. “I love it,” she stated. “It’s my favorite time of year.”
Other students, like Kevin Mikus, a Foggy Bottom resident, explained his surprise that the weather changed so quickly. “Winter was extremely long, hard, and then one day spring came in,” he stated. Kevin is looking forward to wearing shorts and playing sports, such as basketball and football, outside.
Another main campus resident, Eric Gallager, had a similar response, explaining, “It’s kind of earlier than I expected… It’s nice to wear a tee-shirt, hat, and sandals again.” He too looks forward to going outside.
Students are also looking forward to the National Cherry Blossom Festival, from March 27 to April 11. In addition to my interview with Mr. Gallager, students such as Hussain Patel and Nicole McCloskey are excited about the foliage.
Combining two outdoor activities, Nicole especially looks forward to running outside to get a close view of the budding cherry blossom trees.
After gauging the campus attitude and judging by the way students are spending their time outside, it’s clear that almost everyone is ready for spring.
