More of March

We’re now in March and for me days seem moving way, way fast. March is widely known as the month of many weathers. We can expect everything and anything from warm, sunny days to fierce winds by way of rain, fog, frost and even snow.

Sometimes we get a lot within a very short time. I myself say it so. (Not to add that I was born on March.) It’s this month that our long journey being locked up with our studies will usually end at. There was the achievement, excitement, and of course very happy that we could finally relax. Lot of pleasant and pleasure things to do are at wait. The mountain hiking, swimming and picnics, joyrides, sharing and singing, reunion with family and friends to mention a few which sometimes makes me say “it’s nice to go back being a student of those yester years”.

In addition, we also have holy week that falls on March that sometimes makes me feel intimidated. So from anything and everything, we try to do lot of things. From fasting, abstaining and some tend to totally give up necessary things. And to quote abstain, many college students have abstained from Facebook for lent not only last year but in recent years – as Stephanie Simon reports in the Wall Street Journal. (Woo, that’s a thing that impressed me much about the Americans.)

Moreover, March was once the first month of the year, moving to third place when January and February were added about 700 BC according to Nicholas Rhea in Britains Newsquest Media Group in 2005.

March sometimes give me much that I am so pleased yet I’m always reminded of the things that may come unexpected. And so with the old familiar saying “if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb.”
