Dave Blanks: Hey, folks, I'm Dave Blanks from University Communications back once again with a Dave by the Bell, and on this edition it's March, the month of March. In like a lion, out like a... Right? Out like a lamb is the saying. On this podcast we're going to talk to Appalachian State students and ask them to finish the sentence, "In like a lion, out like a..." and then hopefully they'll come up with something silly. I don't know. We'll see what happens.

Dave Blanks: Well, so for today to be like a lion day, it's really nice outside. Whoop, I said that and then I got outside and it's a little chilly, but it's really pretty. A lot of people with short sleeves. Surely we'll find some people to talk to.

Robert Armstrong: I'm Robert Armstrong. I'd say I'm a lamb.

Dave Blanks: You think a lamb? And why do you believe you're a lamb?

Robert Armstrong: A little meek, honestly.

Dave Blanks: All right. Okay, cool. So also, what are you doing for spring break?

Robert Armstrong: I'm going to Chicago and watching a hockey game.

Dave Blanks: Sweet. Are you from Chicago?

Robert Armstrong: No. A lot of my family is though.

Dave Blanks: Oh, cool. Well, enjoy yourself.

Robert Armstrong: Thank you.

Dave Blanks: Hockey in Chicago for spring break.

Emily Stasiak: I'm Emily Stasiak.

Dave Blanks: In like a lion, out like a...

Emily Stasiak: ... tiger.

Dave Blanks: That's two tigers in a row. Yeah. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Maybe that's why. No, it's in like a lion, out like a lamb.

Emily Stasiak: Oh. I would say I'm more of a lamb. More innocent and I don't feel like I'm big enough to be a lion.

Dave Blanks: Do you think you'll grow into being a lion?

Emily Stasiak: Maybe eventually, but not right now.

Dave Blanks: Well, I hope you maintain your lambness for as long as you can. And where are you going for spring break?

Emily Stasiak: I'm going home. I'm just going to work.

Bryan Gertz: Yeah, I'm Brian Gertz.

Dave Blanks: So Brian, it is March and there's an old saying that goes along with March, and I want you to try to finish the saying. You may be familiar. In like a lion, out like a...

Bryan Gertz: ...lamb.

Dave Blanks: Good job. The first one to get it so far. All right, a check mark for Brian. So would you say, Brian, that you are more of a lion or more of a lamb and why?

Bryan Gertz: I'm a lion because I'm a go-getter. I'm always working. I'm always hustling, never really lay down for anything.

Dave Blanks: What are you doing for spring break?

Bryan Gertz: Oh, spring break I'm heading over to Wrightsville Beach. Heading down the mountain.

Dave Blanks: Cool. What are your plans there, what?

Bryan Gertz: I'm going to hang out on the beach, dip my toes in the sand. All the good stuff.

Dave Blanks: Nice. You got to take a break from the hustling sometimes. Thanks, Brian.

Bryan Gertz: Yeah, take it easy.

Nikki Parker: I'm Nikki Parker. I don't know. A cat? I don't know.

Dave Blanks: Out like a cat?

Nikki Parker: I don't know.

Dave Blanks: Okay. Well, okay. So, in like a lion, out like a lamb. Do you think that you are more of a lion or a lamb?

Nikki Parker: I don't know. Probably a lion because a lot of people just say I'm intimidating with my personality, so I just feel like that's probably it.

Dave Blanks: What are you doing for spring break?

Nikki Parker: I'm just going home to spend time with my family.

Tayah Hichue: I'm Tayah Hichue. I don't know. I'd say lamb. I'd like to think I'm more gentle.

Dave Blanks: Yeah. All right, cool. And the last part, what's spring break look like for you?

Tayah Hichue: I think I'm going to go cave camping.

Dave Blanks: What? Where?

Tayah Hichue: Worleys Cave.

Dave Blanks: Where's that?

Tayah Hichue: It's in Tennessee.

Rachel Gains: I'm Rachel Gains.

Dave Blanks: March, in like a lion, out like a...

Rachel Gains: ... lamb.

Dave Blanks: You did it. You got it. Congratulations! All right, so now would you say that you are a lion or a lamb?

Rachel Gains: You know, I think I'm more like a lion. I'm pretty straight forward and pretty strong-willed so I tend to be more forthcoming and more of a ferocious person in my daily life.

Dave Blanks: Last part, what are you doing for spring break? It's coming right up.

Rachel Gains: I am actually going on visits to PhD programs to Illinois and then to Rutgers. So what do you want to study? I'll be doing bioengineering
