I&#8217;m Irish so, included in Spring usually comes like Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day and things like that. Also, I had my birthday recently. That\u2019s another thing that happens around Spring. It\u2019s relatively chilly but not like super cold weather around Spring. It\u2019s a bit more rainy around here in the Pacific Northwest but I don&#8217;t really tend to have an issue with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Name: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Xavier Glenn\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Age: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">20\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Class Standing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sophomore\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pronouns: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He\/Him\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Major: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Physical Education\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite Season: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Winter\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reason(s):\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cProbably winter just because I like to go out and play in the snow and stuff, and it\u2019s probably the best season for dressing, like layers and things like that. Also, I just like the holidays too, so like Christmas time. I guess Thanksgiving kind of counts in winter too, maybe like fall, but holiday family time as well. I think winter is also good because there\u2019s just a stronger, like, sense of community I think and people are trying to get through the hard winter as a family or things like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Name: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cedar Davis-Frankfort\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Age: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">21\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Class Standing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Junior\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pronouns: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He\/Him\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Major: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elementary Education\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite Season: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summer\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Reason(s):<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI just enjoy the warm weather and I&#8217;m a distance runner so I like running during the summer \u2018cause it\u2019s warm out and I don&#8217;t worry much about school so I can just run whenever.
