 * Get Active this Spring **

It’s spring. The snow is melting leaves are coming back, and students are craving summer vacation. So what can college students do on a budget in the springtime? “Get the bike from the back of the garage!” Athletic Director Jared Dalberg said jokingly. Trails are opening up so it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to dust off those roller blades, bikes, scooters etc.

 This time of year we all get a little antsy for summer. Especially students! We have been working hard on midterms, exams, and final projects and we just want to be DONE. So Dalberg suggested some activities that might get us up off our butts, and active after a long hard winter.

 Plan for the outdoors! Start yard work--get your backyard, and front yard looking good for summer. It will get you outside, walking and moving around. If you don’t care too much for chores, Dalberg suggested joining rec leagues. Softball and kickball start in June and July in Manitowoc, so get a team, which will reduce the cost of shirts and make it affordable for a student budget. The local skate park and soccer fields will open soon, too. Dalberg usually tries to bike or walk to his destination. Try it! Dalberg recommends biking or walking with a friend. You don’t have to just walk to school, but to the pier, the downtown, the local gardens, or the beach.

 Whatever you choose to do, Dalberg stresses working towards a goal. For example, record how far or how often you walked or biked, how many holes-in-one you got disc golfing before your biology class, or how many goals scored at a local soccer field. Get out and be active. There is much more to do than you may think; you just have to do it.
