W. McNeill You and I study a lot. Tonight I have to do a chemistry lab report, calculus homework, and an anthropology paper. I have the same problem. The worst thing is exams are coming up. Where are you going to study tonight? I ' d like to study in my room, but the girls next door have recently decided that playing Van Halen very loud is the in thing to do, especially at any hour of the day or night. So I think I ' ll go to Library East. I know what you mean. My favorite place to study is on the benches and tables in the Plaza of the Americas. It ' s so calm and peaceful out there. Except when the preaching starts. That ' s for sure. The one thing we all have in common is being students. No matter if we are just starting out, or graduates working on Ph.D. ' s, we all attend classes and study. All of us have experienced naps in between classes, strained eyes from so much, and exhaustion from studying too hard. Not to mention leg cramps from running from one class clear across to another in fifteen minutes, and anxiety from worrying about a test. These are all the symptons caused by education. A lot of letdowns are experienced as one goes through college. When you get the D in the class which is supposed to start you toward your major, things look dismal. So, changing your major seems the best and classes are hard, but bearable. Then, anxiety arrives for the first test and it turns out you did alright on it. Things go along pretty well, until you have to apply to an upper division college where you must be accepted to continue work your degree. Life certainly seems dim when you discover that you have not been accepted because you did not complete all your general education After all the requirements are met and they learn you ' re an active member of a few organizations, making you a well rounded student, then you are accepted and things are on a roll again. This is where things get a little rough. Many hours are required in studying your specialty, and also in working in your field. After the last exam is passed and you your diploma, happiness fills the air until you find out there are no openings in the job market in your field. Not all is lost though, when a freak meeting with a high executive in a large corporation gets you a job. So, life is set and all that is left of college are the memories. Taking a break is necessary when studying becomes too tedious. Help from a friend can be as important as sitting through class. M. Klarman Students 9
