Student Throws Away Antidepressants After Feeling the Sun Again for the First Time Since October

An open dorm window. A cool spring breeze. A bottle of Prozac thrown to the wind, landing in the Charles River to medicate the grateful, recently returned waterfowl.
Reports of 55 degree sunny weather in Boston has caused a stir across the BU campus, with students previously experiencing the dreaded “it’s so over” spiral starting to believe in a possibility that they could be so back. One of these students, Jack Danielson, says his antidepressants were gone the second a puffer jacket was too warm.
“In the winter, I feel like a decaying, neglected plant in the back of a 22-year-old’s apartment that they swear they will revive but will throw out in a month. But now? My skin is glowing, I can breathe in the air without pain, the sun sets at 7pm. Natasha Bedingfeld was right, the rest really is still unwritten,” said Danielson.
Sources state that on any given spring day warmer than the one before, the entire city of Boston can be taken over by the energy of a girl who is going to be okay.
“Frat guys are outside shirtless, I don’t get frostbite when I go out in a mini skirt and going out top, nature is healing,” said Rose Whitney, another student who reported life having meaning again immediately following the daylight savings time shift.
However, midway through reporting on this story, the mindsets of our sources began to shift, as the Boston climate decided fuck this nice weather, I liked being below freezing.
“What the shit, where are my meds?” said Danielson in the follow up statement, who seemed to have reverted back to his prior self with no memory of the upturn in his mood following the warm weather.
“Spreak wasn’t enough, this weekend wasn’t enough, I just can’t do this anymore,” said Whitney. These sudden turns will test whether students will be able to withstand the next few months of no whimsical winter and no summer in sight (sorry Zara Larson, it’s over now :( ), and continuing to trip over mountains of leftover nasty snow.
