LOOK§flimA||K SURFACE Hopping from class to class, studying, cramminng, partying and living. Everyone is busy, too busy to record the details that make college what it is. It is easy to overlook the best and most memorable aspects of college life when you have more projects, more books and more papers than can possibly be finished before that midterm or final. You live midterm to midterm, party to party, try ing to have an active social life while still maintaining an academic grade point that will keep you off probation. Days pass quickly and weeks even quicker. Soon you forget to appreciate the relaxing freedom of being able to sleep until 9 a m. and go out on XVednsday and Thursday nights. You also begin to forget the people who are behind the scenes, those who help the needy, those who are the unsung heros and those who make a difference in the community. You forget to see things through other peoples eyes and understand them. You get caught up in your own schedules, your own tests and your own relationships. You begin to lose sight of the one thing that makes college life truly the best.the freedom, underneath everything else, that allows you to be adult and still act young. Dena Guntermann
