Making the Grade

Between filling the matrix and fulfilling major requirements, it can be easy to lose sight of all those other classes-ones that require 18 holes instead of 18 pages, or massaging shoulders instead of graduate students' egos. But these classes will definitely make you sweat.

Bowling: Rolling for A's

Work on scoring a perfect 300 at this off-campus class. Pros: owning-not renting-those clownish shoes. Cons: sorry, no bumpers in this game, and you'll still have to deal with mullets at the alley.

Verdict: C for mullets, 'nuff said

Massage: Massaaaaaaahge

Work on scoring a perfect 300 at this off-campus class. Pros: owning-not renting-those clownish shoes. Cons: sorry, no bumpers in this game, and you'll still have to deal with mullets at the alley.

Verdict: A+ for free rubdowns

Fly Fishing: A Pretty Good Catch

The perfect use for those waders and Fly Fisherman subscription you got last Christmas. Be prepared to take notes when you're out of the water-that is, when you're not casting on the East Campus turf fields.

Verdict: B+ for cool outfits

Social Dance: Dancing with the (Frat) Stars

Samba past your sixth grade square dancing nightmares with Social Dancing. And since male-female enrollment is regulated, you'll never be the one tapping your foot on the sidelines.

Verdict: A- for smooth moves

Yoga: Ommmmmazing

Betcha didn't know that lying still and breathing is actually a yoga pose. Learn shavaasana and all the rest in a class designed to lengthen, relax and align, all while moving toward inner peace.

Verdict: A for finding the divine self

Kayaking: Making a Splash

Perfect your eskimo roll in the Wilson pool before graduating to some serious whitewater on North Carolina's rivers. Plus, any water sport that requires a helmet confers instant street cred.

Verdict: C for cold water
