It's time for finals! This means that we will be in club libs on the reg, perhaps more often than we are in our rooms. I understand that it is absolutely impossible to sit in club libs for hours on end doing hw without taking a few sanity/study breaks. For this reason, I have compiled a list of fun things to do other than hw in the library.
- Perhaps one of the most distracting sections is the children's book area. It's always so fun to reward your star study habits with a fun picture book from your playground days. This may end up being a little too distracting as you will certainly become distracted by thoughts of the "good old days" rather than concentrating on your supply and demand curves and Spanish vocabulary.
- If you remember to bring headphones, there is a world of opportunities for time wasting activities. Netflix On Demand offers a wide range of television shows, movies, and documentaries. Might I suggest you take a break from your statistics homework to watch Colossal Squid/Squid Invasion? (I will warn you however that there are two parts so this may take up more time than you are willing to sacrifice.)
- If you are the more intellectual type (and of course you are, I mean, you're in club libs!) you should definitely exercise your brain with a few Sporcle quizzes. My favorite categories are the baby names and the finish the lyrics questions. I will warn you however, you will probably become temporarily addicted and absolutely unable to transition back to your marketing project.
- This first one depends completely on where you are situated within the library. There are so many choices of where to sit. You have to decide if you want to be social, as in sitting out in the open in and in a heavily trafficked area, or if you want to be absolutely isolated and miserable. If you choose to isolate yourself, you can sit in a window and watch all the happy people outside, eating, chatting, strolling, going to class etc.
- If there is one thing I would not suggest, it is Facebook. The reason is simple- once you start you can't stop and there is absolutely no time constraint on stalking. Chances are you will find yourself still on Facebook three hours later looking at three year old homecoming pictures of your cousin's best friend's little sister.
I hope this list is helpful if you are looking for a distraction, or maybe reading this was a sufficient study break and you are ready to go back to your Chinese Cinema project. Whatever your situation, I absolutely suggest that if you aren't doing anything, you should probs leave club libs because it's beautiful outside and there's nothing more miserable than being in there if you aren't getting your stuff done.
