MATCHING IT UP On the day before school starts, Berta Pentabades finds a new dress to match her purple ear- rings. tarting Over Students plan image before school starts W hen the radio blared, “Only sev- en more shopping days left!” someone might have thought Christmas was only days away. But when broadcast in the sec- ond week of August, these words held another mean- ing; a new school year was just around the corner. When the final bell rang and school adjourned for the summer, many stu- dents left hoping to accom- plish such goals as getting a job and preparing aca- demically for the next year by taking SAT prep classes, and attending workshops. Others howev- er vowed to return in the fall as a different person. For most, the way to a “new and improved you”, meant change. These p changes included weight f loss as well as new hair- styles. Many also added a new wardrobe to the list. “By the beginning of September, I’m usually tired of shopping,” com- mented Carrie Font. However, the ever-com- mon disease of procrasti- nation struck hundreds of these students, and left them with only a mere week to prepare for the up- coming year. Parking lots everywhere were fuller than usual. Peo- ple packed every shopping center and mall around. “It seemed like almost the whole world decided to go shopping that week!” stated Devonna Fleming. Posters promoting back- to-school sales appeared everywhere. Radio and TV commercials constantly ad- vertised logos from such stores as Publix stating, “Get all fall school supplies here, where shopping is a pleasure.” Crowds posed a difficult obstacle at the beach also. People filled almost every inch of sand, from 10-3:00 trying to get that golden tan that eluded them all summer. “I got so tired of fighting for a parking space on the beach. Finally, I decided to just lay out by the pool at Carlouel (a private yacht club on Clearwater Beach) with my friends,” said Sarah Lynn Meyer. Some last minute tan- ners though only succeed- ed in burning to a nice shade of red. In the end, a few did ful- fill their list of goals. But whether or not students were fully prepared the school year began right on schedule. □ by Cassie Flory Back-to-School □ 11 V. Wickeriham
