The Dartmouth

Why are you excited for spring to be sprung?

I'm most excited to be able to wear open-toed shoes again even though, knowing New Hampshire weather, I'll probably have to wait until at least May to be able to do that!

No more snow! More sunshine! More green-ness around the campus! Hopefully more romance?

That weekend on the Green.

Finally getting to be the shot fairy in the libs.

The return of madras. Nothing screams "Dartmouth" quite like colorful (read: obnoxious) stripes and plaids. And nothing allows me to release my inner WASP quite like the return of sun, flip-flops and asinine pants.

-- Jennifer Garfinkel '08

The element of spring that I'm most excited for is the afternoon green scene. Students running around barefoot, tanning in sports bras, reading, playing frisbee; it's straight out of a college brochure.
