Ever heard from an elder or a parent to “use your time wisely?”<\/p>\n
Time is precious, so use it while you can. Colleagues from all around U of I in Champaign spend most of their summer days studying. But what happens when you are not studying or you’re not in a natural learning environment? Photo By: Robionne W. I spoke with, Jakob, a former U of I student, who jus<\/span>t so happens to be here on campus helping the new students get registered for the fall. He says finding fun things to do, is never a problem, especially when it comes to Green Street.\ufffdListen<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Jakob also told me not only the fun things he did while he was on campus but when he actually did them. Jakob mentioned he took a lot of online classes for his major and he had a lot of free Photo By: Robionne W.<\/p>\n After hearing this my mind started brainstorming all of these ideas to do here at U of I. Every time you turn around you feel the slight breeze from the bikes pedaling past you. All I were to see around me was people lying on the ground with their nose in a book or them sitting at the picnic tables surfing the web on either their phones or on the laptops.

When I got to the class and saw all the equipment we would be using for the next 3 days I was shocked. That first day I was a little puzzled on what the main task was going to be, but Dr. Collins helped me through every step of the way.<\/p>\n One of my favorite parts was getting to go out and take pictures of all the things that were happening on the campus weather is was a person sitting on the grass reading a book, or it was a group of people hanging out at a nice and quiet restaurant. A part that I thought was a little tricky was when we had to come back and think of our story to go with our pictures. I was getting a little confused and didn’t know what I should have written about and what to do at that point. I finally chose my topic thanks to the help of Dr. Collins and all of these ideas popped into my head that quick.<\/p>\n Through all of the picture taking, interviews, making sound bites, and uploading I finally have a finished report with interviews, hyperlinks and nice and clear self-taken photos.<\/p>\n I thought this was a great experience not only because of all the new stuff I learned but also getting to meet new people. I would definitely consider coming back to something like this!\ufffd How do you spend your free time on campus? Photo By: Robionne W.
