home for the HOLIDAYS By Eric Rajala Lauren Rutledge Going home for the holidays was a source of great relief for many students yearning for a release from the pres- sures of schoolwork and exams. The out-of-staters lined up at crowded airports, hoping the tight security measures would not cause them to miss their flights. Nearby students packed into their cars and drove off to spend the holiday season with their families and friends. There was hoth a good and bad side to returning home, however. Despite the absence of school deadline pressures, returning to the rules of parents ' houses could be a difficult contrast to the freedoms of a collegiate lifestyle. For senior psychology major Kim Schaich, the contrast was lessened by her hometown ' s proximity to Ann Arbor. My parents only live about 10 minutes away, so I just stayed in Ann Arbor and enjoyed the break from classes. 1 went home for Christmas Day, which was nice, but extended family invaded my house, so I decided to just stay in town for the rest of the time, Schaich explained. Normal bedtimes reverted to their conven- tional hour, and many unmentionable habits were forced to disappear from sight for the duration of the vacation. At times, a lack of school pressure was made up for by pressure from parents about grades and future plans; the rocky economy left the job market thin for another class of graduates, and career ambitions were commonly put on hold for graduate school or less desirable, menial jobs. Invariably, high school acquaintances changed after graduation, and this could be both positive and nega- tive. It was always a pleasure to visit and catch up with old friends, and the closest companions remained as such. Still, some former friendships grew distant; characters matured and changed and families relocated. While the circle of friends may have tightened, it could still be fun to bump into an old face. The night before Thanksgiving is always the best night to see everyone from high school out at the bars, attested senior LSA student Bruce Haywood. There were some students who did not jump at the opportunity to leave campus. When I ' m at home, I miss my boyfriend a lot, said junior English major Stephanie Wentworth. It is nice to see my family and get that home cooking, though. Traveling home offers a break to students HOUSING 303
