X jjcvt LQVEB by Marisa Testa 0 ne of the big advan- Jtages, or disadvantages, depending on how you look at it, of growing up is that sooner or later you have to get a job. San Marcos High School students are employed in a variety of jobs ranging from medical assistants to ac- companist on the piano and from florist shop clerks to babysitters. When asked what they spend their money on, the students' answers were as diversified as their respective jobs. Sophomore John Lakey spends his hard-earned bucks on my computer, my car, and me, while senior Beth Hatten blows her earnings on birth- day presents and cIothes. There are, of course, many advantages to having a job, and SMHS students were eager to tell what they enjoyed most about their jobs. Junior Ashley Reynolds, who does secretarial work in her family business, says, I like the fact that the skills l'm 10 Money using right now I can also use in any type of work area. It gives me something to fall back on. It follows that there are somethings that people dislike about their jobs, and students were equally as I get money the old eager to voice their pet peeves. lt gets tiring after a fashioned way, I beg tor itlil Lakey John while and when my friends want to do something, I can't, said junior Carissa Cline. To senior Becky Eckberg, work is something that takes up my time when I could be do- ing something more enriching. Work is something that everyone has to do sooner or later. It can be fun, frustrating, or just plain bor- ing, but the money earned is something everyone ap- preciates, even if it's spent on toys and books in languages I can't read, as junior Michael Doscher is fond of doing. Money - Who has enough? To most students spending it is a past time. And what do they spend it on? Cars, food and hobbies.

Waking up in the morning has also been known as something that people do not want to do, but they all know it has to be done. Waking up in the morning is like cleaning the bathroom - you don't want to do it, but it's got to be done, sophomore Dan Trumpis explained. This year, with the new zero period, there were many students at school and in class before the sun even comes up. Since taking the zero period, l've come to love and cherish my sleep, as little as I get, said junior Erik Nielsen. Waking up takes all the fun out of sleeping. Yes, waking up early seems to be very difficult for everyone, but, as freshman Tom Calac said, Knights that we are - we'll fight through to see the sun.
