Alone in their rooms, with a snack in front of the T.V., or qui- etly walking alone in the woods, students squeezed in precious time. Straight from school to work at fast-food restaurants or department stores, many students used their private time to their financial advantage. Others obliged their parents by helping out around the house by mowing the grass, wash- ing the dishes, and taking out the trash. Running a mile, swimming a lap, or doing sit-ups, students ex- ercised to stay in shape and to relax. Teenages socialized by talking on the phone to that special someone or just getting some home- work explained by a car- ing friend or teacher. Dat- ing brought many young people together at dinner, at the movies, or at foot- ball games and other sporting events. Relaxed students fished to help pass the slow day and maybe catch a good supper. Others made use of any free time they had to wash their cars to catch up on some reading. Some individuals en- joyed hobbies. Cross- stitching, reading, watch- ing television, drawing, and painting, students relaxed and enjoyed themselves. Listening to the stereo helped pass the time. Favorite artists in- cluded Madonna. Ala- bama, Prince. Hank Williams, Jr., Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, Poi- son, Randy Travis, and Reba McIntyre. Students’ private time proved to be just as hectic as their daily routines In- volvement in part-time jobs, exercising, socializ- ing, fishing, cutting grass, washing cars, hobbies, and listening to the stereo showed that even with their busy schedules, students found time to squeeze in precious private time.
