August 2019 7 FRESHMAN ISSUE Sports and Exercise Classes for Fun and Variety By Tim Smith W hen planning for classes each year, the major subjects always appear to take over. From Col- lege Algebra and Principles of Biology to Amer- ican History and Intro to Literature, there are more than enough classes that students can choose. But, what about when you need a break from the mo- notony? When the schedule is at 15 credits, but you do not want to add another class that requires actual learning, where do you turn? Thankfully, there is a solution. Cedarville University of- fers a variety of sports and exercise classes that can provide a break from the tedium of day-to-day life. For those interested in learning and perfecting a new sport, Cedarville offers classes on Golf (PEAI-1540), Tennis (PEAI-1770) and Racquetball (PEAI-1600). Each of these courses take an in-depth look into playing the sport and gives students plenty of opportunities to play and practice. Perhaps you don’t want to commit to just one single sport and desire to maximize your time to learn about as many sports at once. Luckily, there are classes for that, too. Enrolling in Team Sports (MAPE-1210) or Individual and Dual Sports I (MAPE-2200) will give students expe- rience in a wide variety of sports, including basketball, softball, baseball, volleyball, tennis, golf, archery and bowling. What about those who are looking for a new type of class, but want something a bit more intense? Take Weight Training (PEAE-1400) for a semester. This course will teach students the basics of weight training, along with the corre- sponding safety regulations. Students will be able to estab- lish a workout regimen they can follow for as long as they desire. These are just a few examples of classes students can enroll in for a change of pace in their schedule. If none of these spark an interest, a little bit of research in the course catalog will reveal a plethora of options. Tim Smith is a sophomore Journalism major and staff writer for Cedars.

Where to Buy Snacks and Other Necessities By Paolo Carrion A t some point during your college years, you’re probably going to get hungry for a snack. Or you’ll need to gulp down an energy drink or three to make it through midterms. Thankfully, just across North Main Street lie your snack food saviors: the Dollar General and the Cedarville Village Market. As a college student, money is always tight and your stomach is always growling. So, at which of these conveniently located stores should you shop? Cedars is here to help with a non-com- prehensive price comparison between the two main shops available to you, listing the items you are most likely to buy. Do keep in mind the Village Market has fresh donuts and a deli while the Dollar General does not. Unless otherwise noted, prices were taken from the cheapest option available at each store.
