Spring Day-Essay

A spring day commemorated at UP fills one with the anticipation of experiencing the excitement and jubilation of welcoming the arrival of a new season, excitement such as that of a five year olds belief in the tooth fairy. This day was celebrated and the season welcomed countrywide by people with their own traditions and cultures, during which UP also took the initiative to kick up their heels and make the most of the day. As stated in the CITATION Ale12 l 1033 (Alex, 2012), spring is one of the four conventional temperate seasons.

There are diverse definitions of spring, but the common usage of the term differs according to local climate, cultures and customs. Spring and “springtime” refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. In today’s eventful era, people can hardly summon the time to enjoy the outdoors or activities previously relished such as horse riding or hiking which is what often resulted in the neglecting of the beauty of Mother Nature, and all the gifts of it which one has been bestowed with, thus 14th September is the occasion on which the magical shift of seasons is celebrated – even if one hasn’t stepped outside in ages!

The celebration became a proven point of success as the day had unraveled at the main campus of UP in Hatfield.
