Quite often throughout class, we find ourselves checking the ckx;k every few minutes in anticipation of the next break. As incredibly busy students, we all value even the smallest amount of free time. Once it arrives, we use it in a wide variety of ways. For the shorter breaks, many students take time to chat with friends, cram for a quiz or test, read the Oh%sxvex, or grab a quick snack from the vending ma- chines or the Huddle. Longer breaks provide students with the time to catch up on e-mail, IM their friends, or watch their favorite movie. Others see these extended breaks as the perfect rime to take the naps that we were loo big for in Kiiidcrgarten. More ambitious students will use the free time to study. Wliile walking aroimd between classes you can see students laying out on the quad, tossing the Frisbee around for a few minutes, or sitting right outside the doors of DeBartolo killing time. As ai observer sitring on the quad yiui would see the number of pedestrians explode between the time that one class ends and the next begins. Some say that fif- teen minutes is not enough rime to do anytliing art] your spare nis fTiDments, ihBU are lihe uncut romnnds.

Others see that four productive fifteen niinute breaks add up to an extra hour of free time later in the day, and so they try to get some work! done between classes. Regardless of how this ' rime is spent, these small portions of our ev- eryday lives at ND will scxm make up a large part of our college experience that we will trea- sure forever. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, Guard your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be knowii. Improve them aiid they will become the brightest gems in a useful life. -Kelly Bennett Benches provide a gcxxd place to sit down between classes, whether to do some work or just p nple watch. Trying to get to class on time can be a challenge, even with fifteen minutes between classes. Here students hurry to and from class, but still have rime for a litrie s(x:ializing. | Laundry is a great activity to kill the time between classes. With more dorms on campus having laundry facilities, students can throw their clothes in the dryer before class and get them out afterwards. cajM) 2ife
