I ummer offers a welcome respite from the Llay-to-day grind schoolwork that is life at the Uiiiversity of Notre Dame. lie fact that they do not have classes to attend every day cxs; not meai that maiiy students choose to use their sum- mers to sit around aiid relax (though some do, Gexl hless ' em). For many, summer provides a whirlwind of activity that rivals their school workload. Some get to experience the responsihiliry of the real world that most of us are so wonderfully isolated from at college. Maiiy students secure internships for summer work to test out careers that they might pursue after graduation. Other students work regu- lar summer jobs, such as lifeguardiiig, coiistruction, or land- scaping, among others, at home to earn money for school. Some students use their summers to travel, both in the United States and around the world. Qie way to travel is tlirough summer service projects, whether international or domestic. More and more students each year are choosing to dedicate their summers to serving cithers. Wliether this service takes place in an inner-city setting or a ptx r rural area, students are finding that it is a rewarding and educa- tional experience to serve those in need. These summer ser- vice projects are coordinated by the Center for Scxial Concerns on campus, and run eight weeks over the summer. At the end of these eight weeks, the student quali- fies for a scholarship, which relieves the financial trouble of not haviiig a job for the summer. A final option is taking summer classes. Of course, this activity does not get one away from the work done during the rest of the year. At least classes beat working outside in the swel- tering heat. Notre Dame students get the most out of their tliree months of liberaticin. Wliat else does anyone talk about the first week of school? -Joliii Donnelly rhotn Giurtesv of C ' hn n ' Liiulcm.mn far many, summBT praukles a mnirlujind or riuals Ineh school njorHload.
