We’re finally back from the grim, frozen and depressing slog hilariously called ‘Spring Break’ and already we need another holiday.
Luckily–pun somewhat intended–St. Patrick’s Day is Monday. If that doesn’t make you excited about the weekend, it’s probably because you’ve seen the weather forecast: cold and cloudy.
The spring season is obviously in no hurry to get here, but keep in mind that our responsibilities to UTM can’t afford to wait for warm weather.
For example, student registration dates have been announced; so, it’s time to consider the classes you need for graduation. For the sake of your adviser, don’t make this a last-minute decision; there will be a lot of people getting advised at the very last minute. Your adviser will be grateful to have fewer ‘emergency meetings’ if you take care of this as soon as you can.
Furthermore, remember that after this issue of The Pacer there will be only three more issues printing this year. That means that if you think you have what it takes to write for an audience, you still have three more chances to prove it in print. Your name could be what UTM readers see next issue if you give us your best shot.
These are just two of the many deadlines you face at UTM right now, but look on the bright side: Summer Vacation begins late next month. Even though Spring Break may have been a bit of a letdown for students and faculty who did not leave Tennessee, that doesn’t mean summer has to be terrible. In fact, we hope you’ve made plans to do enough in the summer to make up for a lackluster spring.
The Pacer would like to wish students and faculty a happy St. Patrick’s Day regardless of the weather and the best of luck in class registration.
