Greensburg is gleaming, the robins are chirping, and daylight has become longer. Spring is in the air. The time of year that makes a rough transition from the harsh cold to a warm splendid breeze. The groundhog, Phil, was not wrong when he saw his shadow in Punxsutawney on February 2, 2008, predicting six more dreaded weeks of winter.
Sarah Leonatti, a freshmen at Seton Hill University (SHU) said, “Spring makes me happy because that means summer is on its way.”
Many people find dismay with the thoughts of driving on snow and ice, but spring, a contradiction to winter, is an introduction to the warming of the land, which eventually becomes summer.
How does the changing of the climate affect you, the students of SHU, and the citizens of Greensburg?
“I hate the long drive to work in the winter, it makes for mass hysteria on the roads,” says Cleveland Steward, a resident of Greensburg.
Soon, snow tires, mittens, heavy coats, and tossel caps can be exchanged for short-sleeve shirts, sunglasses, and shorts. And for some students, summer break. A few months off to rejuvenate the mind and relax the body.
Jill Catanzarite, a resident of Greensburg said, “Spring is a time to prepare, take long walks, and make changes from the indoors to the out.”
Enjoy the nice, warm weather, because Western Pennsylvania is know for its seasonal changes.
Take a ride with the windows down, stroll down the main drag of Greensburg, Pennsylvania Avenue, observe the multicultural community, pop in your favorite CD (The Beach Boys ‘Pet Sounds’ for me), or just embrace the breezy spring climate. Most of all, R-E-L-A-X. For those of you who are in school or have stressful jobs, summer is right around the corner.
And for all the guys who read this. Rachael Rodriguez, who is a freshman at SHU said, “Spring is my favorite time of year because as the weather gets warmer, my clothes get skimpier.”
