SPRING IS HERE

 




Hello and Happy Spring!

Thank goodness warm weather is finally here... I wasn't sure how much longer I could handle the freezing cold walks to class and practice! Spring is my second favorite season simply because of all the awesome events that occur on Coe's campus in the spring... After being cooped up in the library and in our residence halls all winter, as soon as the weather gets warm again the Kohawks are ready for fun!
My friends and I kicked off the spring fun by being absolutely spoiled with beautiful weather on our Spring Break trip to Florida. There were about 50 of us who spent the entire week running around in 80-degree weather and basking in the sunshine - loving every second we all got to spend together. We went to Luke Bryan's free concert on the beach, went out to dinner and ate fried alligator and laughed until our stomachs hurt. It was one of the best weeks of my life and I can't wait to do it again next year!

Loving the warm Florida beach!

Luckily, we were greeted by warm weather back in Cedar Rapids - just in time for soccer practices to start up again! Each NCAA athletic team with a regular fall season is allotted a certain amount of spring practices and scrimmages in which they can meet with their coach and start getting prepared for fall season again. I was so excited to finally be back on the field with all my teammates, laughing and joking around and playing our favorite sport.

Early spring also means Pres Ball time! Each year Coe's president throws a Presidential Ball for all Coe students and faculty.  Everyone really looks forward to getting super dressed up, taking busses downtown, eating the delicious free food and dancing the night away with all our fellow Kohawks :) I always loved school dances in high school and was so happy to find a college that still celebrates in such a fun way.
Logan and I ready for the Presidential Ball!
As you can tell, the spring semester has been packed full of wonderful campus events - and it's only halfway over! As much as I'm wishing for warmer weather, I'm hoping time will start slowing down. I can't believe I only have one more year of college!

Thanks for reading! Talk to you next week!
