You think you escaped the mighty wrath of the fish trees when you graduated Alton High didn't you? Well, if you go to SIUE, you know how wrong you were.
Last Friday, as I walked away from Dunham Hall towards the Cougar Shuttle stop, I don't remember any nauseating scents hanging in the air. I also don't remember white trees everywhere. But in one weekend, they have overpowered the Quad. Pretty, yes. Smelly - HELL YES. It's mother nature's version of "that time of the month." I guess.
I realized that the fish trees were following me last year, and although I can't wait for the coming of spring, flowers, and warm weather so I can wear skirts instead of swishy pants--- I dread the smell.
TO ALL OF SOUTHERN IL: Why don't you try out those pretty pink trees for once???
