April showers bring May flowers, but in South Bend this saying loses validity. In this fantastic time of the year, everyone is itching at the moment of the first sign of a dogwood petal.
1. Â When all of a sudden, out of the snow, pop up these beautiful tulips at the Grotto. (But where did you come from…? You’re so pretty!)
2. Â When there are copious amounts of flying Frisbees and people trying to catch them.
3.  When you’re walking on North Quad when a golf club almost hits you in the face.Â
4. Â When the Sailing team practices every day, making for some great runner’s Instagrams of that boat below the dome. It’s all about that boat-water-dome-sunlight juxtaposition. (And you get some gasps at how gorgeous the Amaro filter makes the shot look.)
5. Â When that senior in your gen-ed Lit class keeps musing over her new, pretty diamond ring (ring by SPRING, that is) to you and all of your single friends.Â
6. Â When everyone is screaming, “You Gotta Regatta!” over and over at you across South Quad…and no, they don’t mean you need to joing the sailing team. They’re talking about the Fisher Regatta. (Okay, okay! I’ll regatta!)
7.  When Bro tanks start making an appearance. (Sun out, guns out?)
8. Â When guys start sporting neon chubbies…in 45 degrees… (Suns out, thighs out?)
9. Â When there are a plethora of pink Tostal cups everywhere. (Like left on the counters of Chipotle, laying on God quad, placed on a table in Club Hes…) But you lost yours and no one will give you one of their 8000.
10. Â Darties. That is all.Â
