You don’t need a weatherman to tell you it’s getting warmer in New Paltz. Simply count the number of hammocks you see hanging from the trees on campus and that’ll tell you all you need to know. Temperatures are rising and better days are soon to come. You may not know how you did it, but you’ve survived another cold winter, and that’s something to celebrate. This means drinking beers, soaking up the sun and not having your jacket stolen on a night out, because you won’t need one! Here’s a playlist for welcoming the spring in and as the singer on the first track says, “Forget all of the tears you cried, it’s over. It’s a new state of mind.” Get hopeful. Summer’s just around the corner.
