So we start our look at student life with a glimpse at all those plain as day parts of our life. But there's more to life than routine. Like going on dates and Summer didn’t guarantee all nice and easy days for senior Josh Martin and sophomore Kim Wlrlck who spent five days In near 100 degree temperatures at Ball State Journalism Workshop In Munde, Indiana.

Then there are those things that we consider more than nice and easy. Going to the prom and graduating, for example. They're not fancy, just fabulous. From there, what’s left but the part of our life that's simply outrageous? Like homecoming, spirit week, fads and the characteristics that make us individuals. So let’s get started.

ROUTflE RAISE Whether you know it or not, IT has got you in its grasp. Day after day, IT compels you to repeat 70ur own actions. Defined as a practice adhered to by force of habit, IT is a routine. Thirty-three percent of students surveyed didn’t have routines, or at least that’s what they thought. “I get up in the morning, brush my teeth, take a shower, and do everything the same way but I never realized I had a routine before,” sophomore Don Gillett said. I didn’t know that I had a routine either,” sophomore Tim Crystal said. I guess people don’t realize they have routines FOLLOWING HER lunchtime routine, social studies teacher Mrs. Elaine Jansen makes a salad. I eat salads because I like to eat light and I hate because they’ve done the things so many times that they don’t think about them anymore.” After discovering that they had a routine, many students found that there were some aspects they didn’t like about IT. “A lot of routines are boring, like going to school everyday,” sophomore Matt Walsh said. Though routines were disliked by some, they were invaluable aids in organizing the lives of many students. By doing the same routine most days, I don’t have to take time out to think about what to do next. Life’s a lot less confusing that way,” junior Kim Sapp said. So whether you view a routine as good or bad, you’d better get the feeling of being full,” she said. Her lunch never varies: a salad and a Coke Classic.

Jason, a former Eagle Scout, was bothered by the fact that the school didn’t fly the flag because no one put it up so he volunteered to raise and lower it each day. Photo by Jennifer Szewczyk.
