Spring break can bring crazy parties, foreign locations and mountains of homework. Before that sacred week, students take the time to make arrangements and prepare, and when it comes to preparations, N.C. State students are no rookies.
Diana Quetti, sophomore in communications and a University Recreation employee, has noticed a significant increase in gym-goers in the last few weeks.
"You start to see people who have never come in before," Quetti said. "The crowds aren't quite as big as right after the New Year, but there's definitely a difference."
One might expect a greater number of girls increase their workout schedule but Quetti says she sees just as many guys come in this time of year, if not more.
"At NCSU, people are into being healthy and fit," she said. "They want to make sure they're healthy in the long run but still get in shape for a trip to the beach."
Quetti herself hasn't changed her exercise habits but is gearing up for the incoming fashion season instead.
"I'm not going anywhere for [spring] break, so I've got that extra money to update my wardrobe," Quetti said.
Kendra Stowe, sophomore in communication media, is one such health-conscious student and finds that she makes alterations to her workout routine each spring.
"I try to work out every weekday for at least forty minutes," she said. "I mix cardio and weights to make sure I reach my goal."
Feeling good and being healthy is just as important as looking good. With a plethora of strange diets appearing everyday, it's easy to get sucked into the hype of the grapefruit or air diets. Stowe has had a few run-ins with strange eating habits herself.
