Media Credit: Jared Silfies The quad holds an atmosphere of entertainment and knowledge.

There is always a breeze in the quad at Northampton Community College. On a gorgeous sunny day like today the wind feels like a cool fresh blast on your face.

The breeze is so perfect you cannot even feel the sun's rays which are hitting your face at the same time.

There are people sitting on benches and tables, there is also a couple in the grass studying. With the light of the sun glistening off the white pages on their text books you can see them struggling to read.

Not to far from them there are two girls sitting at a table taking up 4 benches. The two girls are in a seat with the other seats being taken by their book bags. You cannot here what they are talking about but you can see one girl seems upset.

It is almost if she had lost just found her boyfriend cheating on her. She flails her arms up and down, and side to side as she leans in towards her friend to continue talking, so no one can her business.

The conversations you do hear can and most likely will be the most interesting you will ever hear. For example there is a bench with 2 guys sitting down, and a gentleman standing up talking to them. He explains in very graffic detail how his sexual escapades of last night went.

The guys on the bench are in astonishment, repeating "That's Awesome!" and "No Way!" This has been going on for quite sometime now, and the best part about it is the girls right next to them can hear this. Their faces surprisingly not disusted but almost amused.

Covering their mouths and snickering to eachother while looking at the guys. The

girls are making it no secret they are laughing at the guys, surprisingly the guys decide they are going to try and talk to the ladies.

Of couse they fail miserably while the girls give them horrible looks and don't even waiste the time of day to tell them off. They just sit there and ignor them, Why the guys don't move will be question to ponder for sometime. The humiliation alone would be enough to drive most guys away. In this case determination probably wont work.

Other than people you can see animals as well. Squirles and birds are a big part of the campus life. Many birds fly overhear , looking up you can see their bright colored chests that send your eyes into a tizzy.

Then again, the atmosphere is college, what can you expect.
