CIMH Life hasn't been so cozy since, well, who knows when? WHITE HOUSE The winter we just went through was rather harsh, and rains poured down on us with no remorse.

Now we finally have the time and a perfect opportunity to open our eyes to the beauty that surrounds us. Get outside and take notice of the colors of spring. The trees have their leaves, the flowers are blooming and the rain has stopped. The first tulip of the semester opened up Thursday in front of Reed Hall. Did you notice it? Have you watched the sunsets lately? Have you gotten the chance to eat lunch or dinner outside with your friends? If you haven't yet, you really should. None of these activities take much time. So even if you are so busy that you think you don't have time to breathe, get over it. Get outside. Live a little. We don't necessarily mean that we completely have to stop what we're doing to celebrate, but we should at least put it into our schedules somehow. On our way to class, the Main or the library today, maybe we could take the long route, soak in the sun and McVeigh's rights betrayed feel the warm breeze flutter through our hair and refresh With most of the TCU student body taking First of all, the Bill of Rights should be seen as the Bill of Rights should not follow the "what can us. off early for Spring Break.
