Show OPINIONS JULY 1, 2013 A5 CONTRUCTION from A4 roads. Students drive to get to a variety of places such as going to hang out at a friend's place, to go grocery shopping, go to the movies, or many other locations. Since students contribute to the wear and tear on the roads, why shouldn't they also help out with the cost of the repairs? The city is still looking into other options, like expenditure cuts and other ideas that have not been thought of yet. In the meantime, explore ideas of your own, find and attend a meeting in your area to give your opinion. College residents may only be living in the city for a few years, but they still can contribute to the decisions made in their place of living. LAURA FOX/UVU REVIEW Whether you are short on time or have too much to spare, make the most of your summer in the Valley. SUMMER from A4 LAURA FOX/UVU REVIEW Continuous road construction needs funds. SUPERMAN from A4 It's also the movie I was nearly positive I wouldn't see. That's a tall order, and a lot of people probably don't care. And yet, I left the movie completely satisfied. Was there huge explosions and Michael Bayesque action? Yes. Were there cringe-inducing Messiah imagery and dialogue? Yes. However, there finally exists a Superman movie worth seeing! We get Superman plagued by a past where he watched his father die, growing up in a town where he felt like an outcast because he wanted to help oth- Do not forget to have fun! Give yourself a little time to relax—or at least breathe—so you do not get burned out. Summer should be enjoyed, and that can be done while doing different things if you set your priorities straight. Invest in a planner and schedule yourself so that you can do everything that you want to do this summer. Do not give up! Let's flip over to the other side. ers. His mother is ageing alone, and he's jumping from job to job trying to live. He has a sense of right and wrong after being bullied and treated like an anomaly or freak most of his life. We would understand if he was bitter and jaded, but he rises above it. We feel, for the first time, that Superman is an underdog. Lois Lane is a capable, smart, impulsive character who doesn't need Superman. She chooses him in spite of everything, which is a beautiful change of pace. Zod is a monster, but we also understand him. He's the perfect idealist and zealot with what he If you're anything like me, your major has very few classes in the summer— so there goes that idea—and your job isn't giving you many hours —and finding another job is difficult—so you end up sitting around twiddling your thumbs while everyone else has things to do. That is all fun and games for the first couple weeks, but then you just get tired of having so much extra time. Why do we put ourselves through that? The usual cause is laziness. To change our lazy routine would mean that we would have to actually get up and do something about it. I am here to tell you that it is worth it! I started on a few projects to keep me busy this summer, and I am way happier than I was when I was doing nothing in my pajamas all day. Living in Utah County, and the surrounding areas, we have so many options available to us that we could do. We live in a beautiful area that has a lot to offer for things to do when the weather is nice. There are plenty of hikes to go on, pools to swim in, scenic views to stroll, and many more activities to enjoy. Go get a library card and start a new series. Or visit many of the free museums that are around. Develop a new talent or strengthen the ones you do have so you do not lose them. There are many more options of activities that a bored student can do in the summer that I did not think mention. Find what works for you and roll with it! Very few of us like to go on adventures alone, so grab a friend and get exploring! Make this summer one of the best and have a grand ol time! You will definitely have a better summer experience—and your figure will probably thank you for not staying on the couch for the next three months. Take advantage of the free time you have this summer and make the most of it! feels is an almost divine mandate. His death is poignant, and Superman's unimaginable grief is palpable. He hurts, he is confused, and in the face of it all, he has to get up and keep going. Because he's Superman. Sometimes we feel like that. When you have nothing left to give, when you're kicked and lost, you still have to get up and go to work. Because you're a father, mother, daughter, son, brother or sister. I understood that part of Man of Steel and loved how it told Superman's story. Now if only we can get Nolan and Snyder on a Green Lantern reboot. 1 All Inclusive Individual Lease Contracts Fully Equipped Fitness Center with Free Weights Fully Equipped Kitchen with Microwave and Dishwasher 24 Hr.
