SQ are Time Although finding free time can be difficult, most Harding students learn to take time out of their busy schedules to relax. For w e ks you've been running around like a chicken with your head cut off, juggling your I 7 c redit hours , part-time job and 12 extracurri cular ac tiviti es, whil e still making time for that "special someone" in your lif . Suddenly, you'r walking down the path when you stop dead in your tracks. You can't remember what you're supposed to do next . Whipping out your convenient HU planner, you g lance down to see something you hav n't seen ince your first day at Harding - an open time slot! As your heart re turns to healthy levels, you are faced with a dilemma. You must decid what to do with that not-yet-monopolized 27 and one-half minutes of time . Betwe n classes and extracurricular ac tivities , Harding students rarely had a chance to re lax. But students found many opportuniti s on campus to take time out from studies and enjoy a few spare moments . One of the most popular ways students spent the ir free time was in napping. With studies lasting until the ea rl y hours of the morning, naps some times seem d to be the only way stud nts could make it through the day. "If I don't take a nap in the c lass s themselves, the early afternoon gives me a chance to catch up on s leep lost the night before. Regardless, I usually take a one-hour nap ev ry day," senior Danny Moore said. Television also provided students w ith the opportunity to escape the world of study sessions and club meetings . Each of th girls' dorm lobbies had TV's that gave stud nts the opportuni ty to re lax with a girlfriend or boyfriend. A majority of dorm rooms and apartments on campus also had te levisions. "After a stressful day of c lasses , it was nice to go back to the apartment and unwind whil e watching a little TV with fri ends ," senior Marcella Sullivan said . A sunny day did not go by that students w eren 't on the front lawn . Sounds of voll eyball games or a lone guitarist fill d the air as students found ways to relax and have some fun . And there w ere some students who want ed to enjoy the atmosphere of the front lawn without feeling guilty about studies, so they brought the ir books with th m. "Studying somehow doesn't seem so bad when you're outside in the warm sunshine on a blanke t with your fri ends ," junior Kim Killian said. And , of course, there was the Student Center. Be tween or after c lasses . students often took time to sit and talk with fri ends . check up on c lub events , or just sit back and relax. "I enjoyed spending time in the student center becaus it gave me a chance to see p eopl e I wouldn't normally see. and it was a good time to relax and forge t about all of my other responsibilities," freshman Maria Roberts said. So it seems Harding students were not at a loss for opportunities to spend their fr e time. Although studies kept them busy, students did not have to v nture far before they found a fri end or a place with which to spend what few spare minutes they seemed to find. - Amy Swalwe ll and Rache l Hale JwTJ<'S Sounders - Fresno.
