Spring time, a time when birds are chirping, bees are buzzing, and romance is in full bloom.... Love is in the air and everyone is catching a little spring fever this year.

Austin and Anne rekindling their relationship. ;)
What causes this rapid growth in romance? Could it be that warmer spring weather puts everyone in a good mood, or our physiological response to the abundance of new growth in our environment around us?

We do know for fact that everyone has made it through a long and frozen winter hibernating away in their dorms. And now with winter well on its way out and spring on its way in, everyone is coming out to mingle.

It has been famously said over and over again: “Life is messy. Love is messier.” So many couples, so much romance, it is unbelievable.

Spring is the ideal time to find love; it's a fresh start for the nature. Spring sunshine beckons students outside; girls are wearing sandals and dresses again, and boys are breaking out shorts and sunglasses to throw around a ball or frisbee. Wherever you look, people are smiling. Proctor is gleaming with light.
