A good point Andy Plonka made in his article “Free for a while,” which appeared in The Northern Star on Monday, April 12. We all need some form of escape from our clock-work schedules, and the rush to make it “on time.” We all (in our own way) need our own space. This space could take the form of living in a single room, walking instead of taking a crowded bus, or “walking around an empty campus (right Andy?).”

Unfortunately, people will either not take time to escape for a little peace, or will turn to other forms of escape (like alcohol and drugs.) Maybe that’s why some students have drinking parties during the weekends; it’s a type of escape from the pressures of classes and the worries of what to do after college.
