Last year, this time, I was preparing for my trip to Italy. I spent almost every waking moment thinking about the trip, the supplies I still needed, the flight there, and all the history I would see.

I know that I and many other Uni students say that spring break is our favorite time of the year. For us, it is one week of complete freedom with no responsibilities in sight. Besides a few track practices, I won't even have to think about school.

March is quite possibly the best month of the year. There’s St. Patrick's Day and March Madness; spring break and warmer temperatures. But for me, there’s one reason above all others that makes March a month better than any.
