🇬🇧 Cambridge’s Welcome Gift: A Dazzling Aurora Over the Spires! 🌌✨
Tonight, magic happened. What started as a casual chat about our failed Northern Lights chase in Finland (a whole week, zero luck!) turned into the most surreal freshman night ever. On a whim, we ran outside—*empty courtyards, just us and the whispers of 800-year-old stones.* Then... a faint green glow. Cue sprinting across campus like maniacs (past the Bridge of Sighs, through Trinity’s shadow)—until suddenly, the sky exploded in PINK. 💖 The aurora danced over Gothic spires, painting King’s Chapel in otherworldly hues. By midnight, the whole university had spilled outdoors. Professors in pajamas, international students gasping in 10 languages, even the college ducks seemed impressed. (”Take that, Finland!” 🇫🇮😂) The kicker? 📸 My Bridge of Sighs aurora shot got shared by the official Cambridge Uni account (pinch me!). 🎁 “Most dramatic welcome week ever,” sighed a PhD student. (”We got a tote bag in 2019.”) Science nerd footnote: This rare UK aurora was caused by a G4 geomagnetic storm—but we’ll just call it “Cambridge’s way of saying ‘welcome to the weirdest, most wonderful years of your life.’” #AuroraCambridge #UniOfDreams #StarryEyedFresher
