This is a picture of what leisure means to me. In my spare time I love to lay out in the sun by the pool. This spring break I went to Acapulco with my sorority and was able to lay out for seven straight days. Surprisingly, it seemed extremely safe to me and I never felt in danger even though there are apparently serious drug wars currently going on in the area. To me leisure is what you decide to do with your spare time. In my spare time, in the summer and on winter and spring breaks I love to get away from the cold chicago winters and go to extremely warm areas. Sitting out in the sun by the beautiful Acapulco pools was a gorgeous setting and because I did not have to worry about anything school related, it was a very relaxed week.

Tom Heaney Activity One Leisure Activity

This is a picture of what I like to do in the summer. I am at the Sox game where I enjoy relaxing and having fun while getting away from the stress of work and summer classes. This picture represents that I enjoy going to sporting events to watch the games and just have fun. If I was able to go to Sox games all the time, I would because it makes all my worries and stresses go away. This picture means to me that sporting events is my idea of relaxing and having a good time. I believe the definition of Leisure is the one activity that provides enjoyment and relaxation to a person and that every person has that one activity that provides them with this.

This is a picture of what I did over spring break. I went to the beach in Florida for the week. What I like to do at the beach is relax and enjoy the sand and ocean as much as I can. When I was in Florida I spent my time laying around and going in the ocean. If I could choose any way to relax I would more often than not choose to lay around on a warm beach any day. This means to me that I am laid back. I do not require a lot of excitement just peaceful, nice weather. I know that the definition of leisure can be very unique to each and every person. What leisure means to me is the participation in an activity that is enjoyable and relaxing to oneself.

Edward Chan's Definition of Leisure - Assignment 1

This is a picture of my room and is probably the one place that I will miss most after my spring break. It gives a great representation of who I am by illustrating the environment I have been working and living in for a good part of my life and personally, the room means a great deal as it contains cherished memories that lay around scattered around my desk. When I needed shelter from life’s daily stresses, my room gave me the opportunity to rest and provided the surroundings necessary for me to be able to cope with the various tasks that were yet to be accomplished. It provided activities to do during times when I wanted to find something other than meddling school studying or other mundane activities. That is where my definition of leisure comes. For myself, leisure is composed of the normal activities that we all do during our free time, whether it be playing sports, browsing the web, or reading; it is those daily activities that we might not think about twice, but those that also give an unnoticeable touch of color to our lives.

Shaefer Kirby's Definition of Leisure (Assignment 1)

This is a picture of me (and my dog Gunner) playing the guitar. I purchased my guitar about two years ago and began teaching myself to play. To me, playing guitar IS Leisure. I almost always grab my guitar to take a break from homework, projects, and studying. In a way, playing allows me to escape the stresses and obligations of school. When I'm not hanging out with friends, most of my personal free time is consumed by learning new chord progressions, picking/strumming patterns, and/or new songs. Leisure is setting aside time to do something (an activity) you enjoy - something that sets your mind at ease and allows the individual to escape from the obligations of everyday life.
