Mungkterrys song In The Summertime tells listeners, In the summertime when the weather is high you can stretch right up a d touch the sky... have a drink, have a drive. Go out and see what youu can fyfd. UM students clearly heard his words this year. When xxtg'LtEILthiree glorious months to do whatever they want, they fill their summers with various activities ranging from fun in the sun, to boosting their resumes. Each year, students decide to take summer classes to get credits out of the way. Some take Classes at UM, others at colleges in their hometown, and some decide to mix travel and school and take courses abroad. Senior Ashley Williams studied abroad for three weeks in Tokyo, Japan as part of the Asian Studies Program at Sophia University. I went to Japan because it was something live always wanted to do. We always been fascinated by Japan, and when I saw the opportunity I jumped on it, Williams said. Some students decide to leave school behind for a while to get a taste of the real world with a summer job or internship. Junior Zoe Schwartz worked as an advertising intern for Crispin Porter 8t Bogusky in Coconut Grove. tilt was a learning experience that has widened my opportunities for future careersf Schwartz said. There are other students who chose to take part in summer activities that have nothing to do with boosting their resumes. Sophomore Leah Adams went on a road trip from Daytona, Florida to North Carolina this summer. tiWe went horseback riding and white water rafting. l was really scared, but at the same time it was the most fun We ever had, Adams said. Whether theyire getting ciasses out of the way, working, or traveling, UM students find exciting ways to fill their summers, taking the time to go out and see what they can find. ghee V--r A

This year was no different. A new academic year brings a new Class of incoming freshmen and transfer students prepared to face the challenges of being a college student. For some, the move-in process signified a new-found liberation, yet for others, moving in meant parting from parents and security blankets. Whatever the case may be, move-in day certainly was a day one can never forget! Aside from the raging mob scene at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond, the process of moving in went as smoothly as it could have, said freshman Susan Peavy. Many students had help from their loved ones as they moved in, which simplified the moving process for them. The hardest part for most was saying goodbye to their family and friends. Others felt that move-in day was overwhelming. Brittany Stutzman was part of one of the last freshmen groups to move in because of her late-in-the-alphabet last name. Her move-in day was the same day as the start of orientation, adding on to the stresses of getting settled in. I hadnlt even started unpacking before I had to leave again for orientation obligations, she said. Dani Ames had a different experience as a transfer student from Wisconsin. At first, she was temporarily placed with an RA because there was not enough permanent living space available. When she was finally permanently moved to Pearson it was weird, because most everyone knew each other, she said. Whatever the experience, whatever the story, freshman Elana Schechtman best summarizes what most new students feel about being away from home. I have to admit that move-in day was rather intimidating. I didnt know how the process worked, what my room would be like or who I would be living with. Since that day I have come to realize there was nothing to be anxious about. I love Miami and I love this school. I think about home from time to time, but there is nothing more exciting than being at school here at the URI
