A time when shorts become more commonly seen and students begin to soak up any additional knowledge before finals, University of La Verne students are preparing for summer vacation with only a few weeks left in the spring semester.
Upon publication of this story, summer will be a short 40 days away. And just as Country Time Lemonade commercials act as a bell in my head – forever ringing in bright blue skies and bathing suits – new album releases, upcoming blockbusters, concert tours and various forms of local entertainment serve as other telltale signs and flags of encouragement that vacation is on its way.
Summer is moving in and University of La Verne students are feeling the heat. With the weather getting warmer, the clothes are getting skimpier and students want to shed their winter pounds.
Things are always crazy at the start of the school year; there’s the new workload that makes us wish we were still vacationing in Europe, juggling a part-time job with couch time watching the Olympics or taking care not to know exactly what day of the week it is or make too many marks in our planners.
