It’s time to break out the dust-covered flip-flops and finally drive with the windows down. The long, cold wait is coming to an end. The sun is staying out a little longer the air is becoming warmer and birds’ singing wakes you up instead of your alarm clock. Spring will officially be here March 21.

Amanda Andersen, a sophomore marketing major, said, “Now you don’t have to freeze in your car for a half an hour before your heat turns on. I can drive with my windows down!”

The first day of spring is also known as the day when the vernal equinox occurs. The Northern Hemisphere becomes tilted more and the sun is directly above the equator on its trip northward. This makes equal daylight and nighttime hours and only occurs twice a year.

This is when the long, cold winter finally subsides and the one day of the entire year when someone can get free water ice from Rita’s.

Spring sports like baseball, tennis, softball, golf, outdoor track and field and lacrosse are getting hyped for their upcoming seasons. Now is the time when students can finally poke their heads out of the residence halls and watch their friends demolish Eastern and Gwynedd Mercy.

New spring fashions have been teasing shoppers in mall windows since the end of January, and many are finally getting their chance to show off the new trends.

“I like spring because you don’t have to look like Stay-Puft Marshmallow when you go outside. I like wearing tank tops and flowy skirts, and now I can finally break them out of my closet!” Andersen said.

This spring, a revival of the classic, preppy looks of the 1960s will be all the rage, according to Vogue.com. There will also be big, colorful designs centered around African, psychedelic and Bauhaus inspired motifs that will catch everyone’s eye. Puffed sleeves, doily patterns and kimono-inspired tops and dresses are also popular picks of Vogue. Finally the “reinvented pantsuit” will take over with its new pin-thin tailoring and chic endless patterns and designs.

So get ready folks, because spring is finally on its way. It’s time to finally venture outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Maybe go see a Cabrini lacrosse game or break in those new flirty tops. After all, it won’t be long until we’re all sick of the 100 degree weather.

The night began with the fast-paced pounding of piano keys, formally known as the song, “Angry Young Man,” followed by a roar of applause and praise.

Although Billy Joel doesn’t look so “young” anymore, his energy exuded from the stage as he put on a baseball cap, did fancy tricks with the microphone and danced vigorously as if he was in his prime all over again.

February 14 was more than just a day for chocolates and flowers; it was the day that Billy Joel came to town and

“You may be right, I may be crazy,” but we “love you just the way you are.” You might have a few DUIs under your belt, but at heart you are not only an “innocent man,” you are “the entertainer.” Don’t you “say goodbye to Hollywood” because there’s always a special place for you, “Billy the kid.”

“We didn’t start the fire” so don’t put out those flames. Your music, lyrics and talent have put us in a Billy Joel “state of mind,” so “sing us a song piano man” and “don’t go changing” a thing!

Have you noticed emotions running high lately? Well that’s because it is the month of Pisces and Aries.

March is associated with Mars, the roman god of war; however, Pisces and Aries are not the fighting type.

Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac. They are prone to incorporate many of the 11 other signs’ traits into their own. They are flexible and resourceful. They tend to adapt to any circumstance that they may come across. Some words used to describe Pisces are sensitive, imaginative, compassionate and emotional. Pisces like to run imagination and reality together but somehow find a balance between the two. They stay low and go with the flow. They are also great friends and can lend an ear.

Need tional in character but show their emotions differently than the Pisces. Aries often force their feeling onto others making sure that everyone knows about it. On a better note, they are highly energetic and adventurous.

Aries love to make fashion statements. Since they are the first at anything, it is only apparent that they are trendsetters. They adore wearing clothes with flare to show their adventurous side.

Pisces can be symbolized by two fish opposte each other Their element is water, emphasizing the idea of flowing to fit forms. Qualities of water include being mutable or changeable, which is how the Pisces survive. The two fish draw a parallel to the yin and the yang that shows the equilibrium between imagination and reality

Taking a look into the fashionable viewpoint of a Pisces, one can see that they are obviously fish-like. Constantly wanting to wear free-flowing clothes that are similar to the drifting ease of the ocean. Pisces also tend to go barefoot if they have the option. Aries, on the other hand, is the first Zodiac sign. Unlike Pisces, they tend to act as if they were the first in line. They are leaders instead of followers. They feel the need to get their point across and boss others around. This may seem to be an unlikable trait, but can be seen as a powerful and notable trait. They are also emo-

If you have a birthday that falls right after March 20 up until April 19, you are designated an Aries.

The symbol of Aries is the ram. Rightfully so since the ram symbolizes forcefulness. Aries like to force ideas onto others and always think they are right. On the other hand, without force little or no work can be accomplished. Don’t feel left out if you’re not a Pisces or an Aries. If you are a Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini or Aquarius according to your signs you are supposed to be compatible with Aries. If you are a Sagittarius, Cancer or Capricorn, according to your signs you would be best compatible with Pisces.
