Here we see some tree blossoms blooming in front of the Elliot University Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. While it has been too cold for students to spend much time outside, the trees are trying their hardest to put their winter starkness behind them. According to the union building's Facebook page, it has been considered the center of the university since it opened in 1953. And a hub of activity it is. This week has been Student Entrepreneur Week and students have lined the interior hallways of the building with tables, products, and trifold boards. Today, a man who crocheted hats was selling his hats inside. Recently, a spring housing fair was held in the commons. From the multicultural center to the galleries and event rooms to student services, restaurants, the bookstore, the cash machines, the walkway to the library, and so much more, it seems as if one could live at the union building.
As busy as EUC is during the week, it will feel abandoned this evening when students take Friday off to celebrate Easter with family. Easter is early this year, a lot closer to the recent spring break than in some years. Before you know it, the above cafe tables and chairs will be occupied with people using free wi-fi and wrapping up the semester. Oh to be a student again.
If blossoms bloom on a tree and nobody is there to see them, are they beautiful?
