"  Spring is almost here - Spring Break is in four days! Every day, I walk down Locust Walk and it gets a little warmer. I can smell spring in the air. I get really excited when I think about being able to wear tees, shorts, and dresses again, every single day. As much as I love wearing boots and fur coats and cashmere sweaters, there&amp;#039;s nothing as cute as a spring wardrobe. I can almost feel the sun burning its rays into my bare skin, the smack of my flip flops against the pavement. It&amp;#039;s just that comfortable, beautiful feeling. Last spring, it was senior year in Washington. I had gotten into college. I was through with high school and everything that was associated with it: petty drama, little prejudices, catty moves, and the distinct feeling of imprisonment. I was experiencing a new life, in a stately city, working for the US Senate. I felt free. There was so much to look forward to. And there is still so much to look forward to now, one year later. I am spending spring break, not with my friends in Jamaica, but back in New York. I am interning for a fashion startup and also helping to put together Penn Fashion Week. But as much as there is work to do, I also want to play hard, whether it&amp;#039;s at 1OAK on Friday nights or just wandering through the city streets with friends. Before I know it, spring will be summer, and an entire year will have passed since I began this journey with you. I am positive that I will look back and marvel at how much I have changed. But right now, I am still caught up in the throes of school, trying to overcome one midterm at a time. I&amp;#039;ll update soon. xoxo Katie "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
