Standing in the cafeteria on campus and looking out the windows facing Flint Creek or onto center campus is a great place to watch the changing seasons. As spring heads into summer, you can almost smell the grass as students pushing lawnmowers and brandishing weed eaters slip past the windows, spraying their freshly cut trimmings into the air. And when the temperatures start to fall and the leaves have turned their brilliant colors of red, orange, and yellow, you can often see students raking up huge mounds of leaves to pile on top of each other, leaving only a few faces peeking out. And when those leaves have long lost their place in that pile, you'll often find them flying through the air or in the hands of students as they chase each other around campus with smiles and laughter that can't be missed even from that cafeteria window.
In the winter when snow is lying on the ground, peering out that frosted window you can often see snowmen and snowball fights, snow angels, and pink and green plastic sleds being hauled down the sidewalk in the grip of some very cold fingers.
