It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the longest most dreadful quarter of College in Seattle™ is ending. The birds are chirping, people are actually smiling at each other and the sun is out, along with the birkenstocks. It’s so hard to put the most beautiful moment of a Seattlite’s year into words so we did it the only way we know how: through a KXSU Editorial Staff Scenario Playlist! That’s right, we matched every Seattle U Spring mood with songs that way you don’t have to. So, are you also at a loss for words when it comes to the treasure that is Spring?
