Junior Changes Juniors take a serious look at the future and become more inuolued in career related actiuities. After the fun and r latively relaxing years as freshmen and sophomor s . the juniors became more concerned about life after coll ege during their third year at Harding. "The junior year is ge tting close to c runch time ," Stephani Davis said . "It is also c loser to be ing a senior when J'll have to think about getting a job ." Chris Turney also began to realize th nearness of his senior year. Everything came together for him as he stepped back, looked at the big pic ture and realized that graduation was just around the corner. This realization prompted him to join the Professional Sal es & Marke ting Fraternity, a career-re lated organization. Thoughts of impending graduation and the j ob m arke t also encouraged juniors to hit the books harder. "Class s require more rim now and you have to work harder ," Christi e Mangrum said . Georgia Choate said that ther was more pr ssure to decide on a major. "The junior year is the time to finally come to a decision ," she said . Choosing a major by the junior year became a necessity as ga ining knowl edge vital to her chosen career. Sl1e said that the c lasses helped her "imagine what she would do for the rest of her life." Another transition for juniors was the possibility of more focused rela ti onships . These re lationships inc luded , but w ere not limited to boyfri ends or g irlfriends , husbands or wives , c lub broth rs or sisters and roommates. However , the c lass also began to bond with p eopl in their majors . Mangrum b elieved that this w as due to constantly b e ing thrown together with the same group of peopl e. She did not mind this , though , and c ited th common bond they shared and tile fri ndships that had grown as a result. She said that sl1e knew everyone in her major . Carmen Hea th also found that c lubs w ren't as high a priority. "I think as juniors w e w ere more apt to meet and hav c lose fri ends in sev ral c lubs ," sh said . The junio r year w as de finit Jy on for stretching and growing, but maybe more urgently one in whi ch the end was in sight. "We're not ready to get out y t ," Turney said. "It's time to be serious . but students realized that the bulk of their major c lasses w ere taken that there's still time to have fun. " year.
