Flipping burgers for bucks “Having a job has given me the opportunity to meet new people as well as teach me responsi¬ bility. I work every day in the week and all weekend, but I don ' t mind because it has made me more indepen¬ dent.

Be¬ cause it is expensive to func¬ tion as a teenager, one of these obligations are often in the form of employment. With movies, clothes, dates, and concerts to pay for, many students hold after school jobs in order to earn extra spending money. Late night and weekend working hours sometimes made it difficult to juggle school, friends, and work all at the same time. Neverthe¬ less, for some it wasn ' t as dif¬ ficult to juggle school, friends, and work all at the same time. Nevertheless, for some it wasn’t as difficult as for others.

STUDENT L I F E Thank God for Weekends “The best way to get the most out of your weekends is to set goals for yourself My goal when I go out is to do as much as I can without getting in trouble with the school, the police, or my parents, but as I have so often found out, it ' s easier said than done.” — Kevin Fringer tudents spent the long- awaited weekends do¬ ing quite a variety of activi¬ ties. When asked what they usually did, most students said they went to movies, malls, parties, or out to eat. While doing these ordinary activities, some people set some out-of-the-ordinary go als for their weekends. “My goal when I go out Fri¬ day night is to live until Monday,” stated Lou Schaefer. Others took on a more re¬ bellious attitude. “My goal is to cause as much trouble as I can without getting caught added Brad Scholtz. Still other students, such as Jeff Cram, tried not to let the weekend activities interfer with school. “I go out to have a good time, but still make it to school on Monday to preserve my per¬ fect attendance record. While most students would have liked to spend all their free time having fun, they had other responsibil¬ ities to attend to. If not studying or doing last minute research at the library, they could be found participating in church and youth groups, working, or doing chores at home.
