Life and Style

Indiana State student Aaron Brown’s alarm clock interrupts his sleep like a gunshot at 8:30 a.m. He trudges over to the clock through empty pizza boxes and soda cans. He grabs his work clothes with yesterday’s lunch stains still on them, packs up his schoolwork and heads out the door. This is just another routine Tuesday.

As the old saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” For Ithaca, spring pushes out the cloudy gray skies and for the first time in months the brilliant sun peeks out, shining down rays of refreshing warmth. To celebrate the arrival of warm weather, the maintenance crew has planted a colorful array of tulips and daffodils around campus.

One of college students’ most loved events is leaving a trail of neon across the country. The Dayglow Tour: Life in Color has been taking on hundreds of cities and colleges campuses as “The World’s Largest Paint Party.” Before you purchase tickets and pick out the perfect all-white paint-worthy ensemble, make sure you know how to have the best experience possible.
