The recent heatwave that spiked temperatures, melted dirty snow, and caused Michigan State’s campus to heat up to as searing 60 degrees has unfortunately come to a close. As per usual, our Fake Spring only lasted one week before the Midwest was plunged back into winter, which we can expect to linger until May. Yet there are those who are optimistic enough to believe that it still really is nice outside, once again proving that the line between optimistic and delusional is a thin one.
To celebrate the sunshine, 50 students collectively decided to meet up outside Brody Hall to enjoy the balmy weather. However, they forgot to check the forecast for the day. When they arrived at Brody, there was no sunshine to be found, and they were instead greeted by a blizzard. In spite of this, 49 out of the 50 decided to stay and sunbathe.
Texas native Lars Lagin was the only one to bail on the bunch. “Y’all are crazier than a porcupine at a balloon convention for rootin’ and tootin’ in this here weather,” said Lagin. “Yeehaw. I’m out.”
Meanwhile, those who decided to stay claimed to be enjoying the intense 25-degree heat.
“We need to capitalize on this opportunity,” said vitamin D-deprived biochemistry major Mordecai Morton. “It’s t-shirt and shorts weather until it’s below zero.”
The group continued soaking up those hot rays and slush, playing the song “Kokomo” on a large waterproof speaker and sipping on overpriced mojitos until it got dark.
Morton claims the group had a great time and plans to do the same thing again next week. Little do they know that the forecast is currently predicting a hailstorm at that time.
