Chris Molitoris The weather is getting warmer. And with the ever increasing temperatures, it is sad to think that my last semester here at Scranton is coming to a close… and too quickly. Warmer weather in Scranton, however, brings its own promises. First and foremost, SPRING! For the past couple of weeks, the Scranton weather has been in the Winter/Spring doldrums. Sometime before the first day of spring, temperatures ranged from 20 to 50 degrees and most of the days were overcast. On the first day of spring, temperatures ranged from 20 to 50 degrees, but it seems since the sun’s direct rays are now in the Northern hemisphere, Scranton’s weather has become much sunnier. Now I do not have the degree requirements to necessarily correlate these two events: Spring and more sunshine, but I must say that it is very much appreciated by all members of the Student Body. Spring is probably one of the most dramatic seasons in Scranton. We leave the oppressive days of Winter that force us to don heavy clothing to keep us warm, and move to the more liberal days of Spring where we doff our Scranton hoodies and embrace flip-flops once again. If you have ever considered a time to visit Scranton, spring is your best bet. tag:blogs.targetx.com,2007:/scranton/ChrisMolitoris//304.4172 2007-12-05T23:52:18Z 2007-12-05T23:55:12Z

Greetings! This blogging experience is quite new to me. (It even appears new to my spell-check as neither blogging nor bloging seem to register). So please forgive me now of my blog’s shortcomings. It seems I have a job to...

Chris Molitoris So who could be reading this thing? Prospective students Well, you are my first guess. And I do suppose you come in all shapes and sizes, so to speak. If you happen to be surfing our institution’s website, you have probably just stumbled across this unique feature, somewhere under the Admissions/Financial Aid Tab. And speaking of sizes, I am guessing you are somewhere in your high school years. If I am wrong, and you happen to be younger—well, good for you on getting a jump start on the college search process. But believe me, you will have plenty of time to explore in high school. Although, some of our prospective seniors might not think so. Parents I know mine would. You might be checking Scranton out for yourself—getting the lowdown, the info, and the dirt on what it means to be a Royal. Welcome aboard! Anybody else? Well, there might be. (Like some of my friends) But as I see it, my message might not be geared towards you. In fact, my message is mainly for the prospective student. The freshmen, sophomore, junior, or senior in high school, who really has no clue what college is and what Scranton, specifically, stands for. In this blog, I will attempt to capture aspects of Scranton that I think you should know about—you, a prospective Royal. Yes, I am writing this blog entirely for you, in the hope that it might shed some light into what Scranton is really all about. From the Commons to the Hill Section, I will hit it all. So stay tuned. I will be hitting the hard topics first. I think I might start with the Commons. Be back soon. ]]>
