After a few weeks, students may feel burdened down with class

work. When pressures become overwhelming, they seek a diver­

sion from studies. Some stay on campus and order pizza, while

others go to the mall to look for bargains or just window-shop.

W ith several options for recreation, couples may go out for dinner

or take long walks at Hyde Park.

On the weekend, many students go home or to a friends

house to relax, sleep, do laundry, or visit local attractions. Al­

though students enjoy their friends’ company, they also spend time

helping others. Some participate in weekend service projects spon­

sored by the college, their local churches, or Greeks. Since leisure

time is scarce, students take advantage of activities that provide

diversion from their schoolwork.

Regardless of the demands of college life, they find time to

relax and serve others. Students should not allow school to over­

whelm them to the point they cannot reflect on the enjoyable

times they share with friends or the times they participate in Chris­

tian ministries. As a student, it is important to remember, “A

man’s heart deviseth his way: but the L o r d directeth his steps.’’

(Proverbs 16:9) Whatever diversion one takes, the activity should

bring glory and honor to God.
