Spring Is Here (Almost); Hurray!

As we all know, Boston has received (almost) record amounts of snow this spring not-spring. We would like to smugly suggest that we were reasonably prepared for such an occasion.

The amount of snow obviously caused difficulties with things like going to school, life, getting places, eating, and being a human. While it was really hard to exist with all the white stuff falling from the sky all the time, there were a few things that were facilitated by the vast amount of cloud dust:

1) Swimming practice.

Can't get to the pool? No problem!

2) Friendly interactions with neighbors.

Day 1

Day 21

3) No need to go to the gym!

No need for you, gym! I get enough of a workout walking everywhere because my bus isn't running!

4) Hilarious jokes in the newspapers!

... This is a joke, right? ... Right?!

Luckily, the sun is shining, birds are singing, and trains are angrily blaring their horns at pedestrians across from the CFA. Here are some awesome things to check out whilst the weather is nicer than it has been (and let's face it, we are REALLY appreciative of basic things like being able to get to parking meters and not having to climb Mount Snow-manjaro to get to an intersection):


1) Visit the Boston Common.
This historic park is probably pretty familiar to all of you, but did you know that it's housed the British army, an execution after a witch trial, and a major Vietnam protest?


2) Take the T.
The MBTA is back up and running! Also, they have announced 15% fare discounts in May, and a FREE RIDE DAY in April!


3) Get bubble tea in Allston.
This bubble tea is, in our opinion, totally 100% worth walking to Harvard Ave. Drink it in the sun!


4) Go to Cold Stone.
10 out of 10 Andy Chaes in the School of Music office prefer Cold Stone.


What are you doing this spring? How are you replenishing your requisite Vitamin D deposits?
