May This Month Be Over?

Spring term is usually filled with merriment and good times, but here are the top six things that made my spring term worse. The Weather. The change in season is normally the most anticipated part of the term at Exeter. But as I am writing this it, it’s 46 degrees and raining. Huge disappointment, Mother Nature. The Holidays. There isn’t really much to look forward to in May. Sure, there’s Memorial Day, Star Wars Day, and Mother’s Day, which can be great, but there isn’t really an awesome holiday to look forward to, that really separates the month into pieces. Easter was in April and not enough people celebrate Dwayne Johnson’s birthday. The Couples. It’s the end of the year for a lot of people here there’s a whatever attitude to the way they start acting. Normally it’s awesome. People are funny, classes get easier, and you feel a little bit better about yourself. But people also stop caring about their relationships, so a ton more couples start popping up. For those of us who aren’t in a relationship, we feel even lonelier. Shopping Days. There are no awesome days for shopping in May. No Christmas sale, no Black Friday, no Summer Extravaganza, no nothing. Food. I always eat a lot, and in the winter it is pretty acceptable.The days are shorter, everything’s colder, and the classes are still pretty; it’s pretty acceptable to order out. But in spring, things have changed, you all of a sudden can’t eat a buff-chick calzone and feel good about yourself. The Hype. For the other eight months of the school year, May seems to be the talk of the town. You might be cold and tired, but don’t worry, because pretty soon it’ll be May. And when it’s May, all you do is lie in the sun and throw a frisbee. False. All you do in May is wish you were lying in the sun and throwing a frisbee, and wonder why you aren’t.
