SPRING. Hallelujah! So we might have escaped the snow this
winter but we did not escape the rain, the floods and the storm, which
devastated the remains of our old West Pier. But hey, March has arrived and
with it, the warm weather. Hoooorah. I, and presumably every other student in
Brighton, have jumped straight on the sunshine bandwagon. In Brighton – we
wanna make the most of the sun – ‘cos we’ve got a beach and yeah it’s pebbled,
but it’s still a beach and we do not take it for granted. Not everyone can say,
‘yeah I’m going down to the beach today’ …and tomorrow, and the day after...
After a bit of careful observation – here are the top ten things which students
in Brighton do when the sun comes out.
2. Drink Kopparberg outside Coalition on the beach. Again, why not?
3. Go running around Preston Park, or the seafront, to work on your bikini bod. You’ll need it for no. 4.
4. Get your bikini on, on the beach, just in case The Daily Mail photographer is hanging around waiting to get his annual front page, ‘look-how-many-people-are-on-Brighton-beach-in-the-heat-wave’ photograph.
5. Only put one extra layer on, (as opposed to 25) when heading up to Falmer campus.
6. Go to the Marina for the first time this year.
7. Ring up your friend who lives in Hull or Lincoln to tell them how much fun you’re having on the beach and how warm it is down here.
8.‘Doing your Uni work’ outside so you can kill two birds with one stone – tanning up and working on your dissertation. Five hours have passed; you’ve done no work but you have eaten three ice creams and decided you’re gonna go out tonight.
9. Go to the Lanes – get a hair braid, have a tarot card reading and take a picture of your legs in the sun – you’re not on holiday but you might as well be.
10. Moan non-stop via Twitter and Facebook about how you don’t wanna be in the library, you just want to be on the beach.
Whatever you do in the sun, I’m sure we can all agree that
Brighton is the best place to be in the heat. Bring on Summer!
