Inevitably, the time comes when, despite a tug of conscience, we rearrange our priorities and start putting responsibilities and homework at the bottom of the list. The reasoning used for this is somewhat unclear, but somehow it seems that we always have time to take a nap or sun- bathe, whereas therels never enough time to do readings or homework assignments. This uni- que phenomenon has commonly been known as llblowing it off and college students become quite skilled at the particulars of the art. This art also has areas of specialty. Some excel in soaking in the rays, others in the gift of gab. Others practice dancing, creating costumes, and making themselves beautiful, things which are much more important to their future. Then there are those who go to the extreme of redefining ltstudy break to mean that short period of time during which they stop goofing off in order to study. Whatever their specialty, however, most all students will agree that the best advice of all is this: uWhen your day is full, its best to get the nap out of the way first? a !BLOWING IT OFF f mmw'z:
