Quotes From the Quad: Spring 2021 Semester Highlights

The exceptionally nice weather in Lewisburg recently has brought students from their rooms to the outdoors to soak in the sun around campus. With midterms and mid-semester burnout causing students more stress than usual, I walked around the Malesardi Quadrangle to ask students what their highlights of this semester have been so far. With the sunny day putting everyone in a good mood, I hoped this question would allow people to look back on the positive experiences they had this semester despite the ongoing presence of COVID-19.  Below are their responses:

Miranda Segrave ‘23: “Enjoying the warm weather and sitting on the quad with my best friends”

Ben Carcieri ‘23: “Going sledding”

Emily Sullivan ‘22: “I’ve done a lot of activities around campus like virtual bingo.”

Hannah Holmes ‘23: “It’s been interesting going from being online to being back in person.”

Calista Noll ‘23: “Polar plunging in the Susquehanna River”

Bobby Subak ‘21: “Hammocking outside with friends”

Sabrina Fein ‘23: “Seeing my friends again after two months and honestly, being able to sit on the quad again with my wonderful friends”

Kaitlin Bonacci ‘21: “The warm weather and sitting on the quad with my friends”

Tyler Behrle ‘23: “The rock wall opening again”

Kevin Eifert ‘21: “Watching the sunset from the farm”

Karly Bullock ‘23: “Taco Tuesday on the quad”

Will Carcieri ‘23: “Playing in the snow”

It felt rewarding to see the look on students’ faces when they remembered a highlight of their semester. For some people, it took them a minute of thinking to determine their highlight and it seemed as if many people hadn’t actually thought about the positive parts of the semester so far prior to my asking. I hope that this article reminds you to think about what your own highlights of the semester have been so far! Life is too precious to not appreciate the little things.
