Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and the sun is shining; you know what that means…spring is here!

To students, the surest sign of the season is Spring Break, already behind us. To the calendar, spring didn’t officially start until March 19, the spring equinox. But, through nature, spring brings its own subtle signs.

Some things you may notice as spring arrives are bumblebees and butterflies starting to fly, pollinating the slowly blooming flowers. 

Another thing you may notice is longer days. That’s because we sprung our clocks forward on March 10.

But, really the best sign of spring is seeing all the birds and cute animals start to emerge: baby geese, rabbits and squirrels will start waddling, hobbling and running around campus soon.

What’s the best sign of spring?
