Quest Fcr Growth 4 New Perspective Life is a funny thing When you were young, it was difficult to imagine childhood bliss ever ending. As an adolescent, with everything becoming topsy-turvy, you remembered the past, but the future was surrounded by haze. Parents said, in that lecture tone of voice, not to worry because with age came stability Sure enough, continual growth brought a new kind of life into perspective: College. For the first time, you began to realize that stability meant being on your own, making decisions for yourself. Sounds rather contradictory9 In a way. it was But for four years, change seemed less and stability was within grasp. But at the end of those college years, once again you won't think so. But you must realize one thing. Stability will never mean consistancy because life is inconsistant. From those childhood days until the day you die, values will change, standards will change, friends will change, and you will change. Don't let these thoughts dissuade you from becoming all you strive to be Don't let them stop you from reaching for that extraormary spice of life, but rather, let stability grow with you. If you remember these college days and their influences, you can't help but to grow. O by Kristen M. Akam Study Break?

A Day in the Life Beep ... Beep . Beep .. Beep' What is that inscesent noise? It sounds like something in the subconscience. It's very far away and vague. Now it's getting louder. BEEP ... BEEP ... BEEP! Gee. right in the middle of a great dream, too. Uh. oh. wake up! It's 8:03 a m and I'm late again $%! ! Rise and shine to another typical day at RU. After running around the room trying to become coherent and look like I didn't just roll out of bed. I throw on a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. I dash to class on the far side of campus, for which I am already 15 minutes late I suppose you would like to take this quiz? asks the professor; as I slip in. trying to look inconspicuous. Yes. I meekly reply, feeling queasy and unprepared, wishing I was back in that warm bed hitting the snooze button and hoping for five more minutes. The class seems to drag on and as the professor s lecture starts to mesh'. I try to concentrate, but in the remaining hour. I find myself doodling across the page, thinking about the upcoming weekend, or just dozing off. Oops! The girl next to me nudges my side, its time to go Thank goodness, that man can be so boring. I walk out into the crisp, damp air, caught between cloud bursts, and head back to the dorm to jump into a warm, steamy shower to wake myself up The usual bathroom backup is in full swing Since I am at the end of the line. I crawl back under the sheets to rest for a few minutes. It's a good thing my next class isn't until 12:30 or I'd never survive! Well, the neon numbers on the clock read 10:15. I guess I should become human. I jump into the shower to find lukewarm water (hey it's better than cold) and I stand there for ten. mesmerized by its constant relaxing pulse But I'd better pu it into gear or I'll get left behind for lunch Hurriedly and furiously, I blow dry my ha burn in some curls and line my eyes while trying to hide the dark circles. Why did I hurry over to the dining hat for this? Today is fishstick day Ugh' I wouldn't be so terrible if it didn't leave such an odor in the whole building. Those who didn't come to lunch will still know what was served if they come to dinner, guess I shouldn't complain (although usually do), at least food service offers the deli bar But a better suggestion would be to have that at dinner. The gang sits at their usual table and we talk about anything and everything, including this meal not worth mentioning, as we pick at the fish and try to hide it under a bottle of ketchup 008 Day in the Life
