Spring on LSU's Campus Residential Life

Spring is officially here, and there's no better time to enjoy LSU's beautiful campus. Turn off your electronics and get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. There is plenty to do without using energy around the Res Halls.

1. Bike Around the Campus Lakes: The warm weather makes for a perfect bike ride. This ride will take you around the historic houses, city park, and a beautiful lake.

2. Fly a Kite on the Parade Ground: Cuz' you are never too old to fly a kite. Pick up a couple kites at the dollar store, and enjoy an afternoon with friends and some good old fashion fun.

3. Head out for a Picnic on the Levee: Pack up a sandwich and some refillable water bottles (we are being green here,) and a blanket and watch the world go by.

4. Attend an outdoor concert: Whether it's Groovin' on the Grounds (This weekend, March 26, 2011 with One Republic) or C4 in the Pentagon Courtyard, listening to some outdoor music is a great way to unwind. 

5. Join a Pickup Game: The Parade Ground is packed this time of year with students playing ultimate Frisbee, soccer, football, etc-- gather some friends and join in!

6. Spring Cleaning: Take the time to do a deep cleaning of your room. Sweep the floors, clean the windows, wash your sheets, and recycle/give away all the junk that has accumulated over the winter. You'll feel so much better walking into a nice clean room (plus it'll make move-out easier!)

7. Recyclable crafts:  Use your creative energy for something useful. You don't even have to spend money-- there are tons of crafts out there using recycled material, like this forever scarf, or make your own reusable bags.

8 Volunteer: Be it through Volunteer LSU, Habitat for Humanity, your sorority or organization, or just on your own. Volunteering is a great way to kick the stress of school and make a positive difference

9. Capture the Moment: Campus is bursting with beautiful blooming flowers, green trees, and blue skies. If you have a camera (digital, disposable, SLR...anything!) try your artistic talents at photography-- if nothing else, it'll be a great  memento of your time at LSU.

10. Develop a Green Thumb: Get some dirt, seeds, and paint a pot (or use old plastic jugs and paint them.) Place your plant in the window (don't forget to water it) and watch it grow!

11. Geaux to a Baseball Game: Take me out to an LSU game, take me out to the fans, buy me some crawfish and etouffee, I don't care if I never graduate, Let's root root root for the tigers, they (almost) always win this game, for it's one, three, four years, and you're out of the (college) world! (Okay, maybe I shouldn't rush into a songwriting career!)

Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy the outdoors!
