Since our very first post is coming at you live from Ralph Brown Draughton Library, we decided this was a fitting topic.
Here are 5 tips on how to navigate the library:
1. Always know where the coffee is (right when you walk in, directly to the left). Caribou is a great place to waste your dining dollars on delicious coffee or expired sandwiches. (Seriously, stay away from the sandwiches). It is also a great place to waste your valuable study time in line. Trust us, procrastination is a beautiful thing sometimes.
2. Breakdown of the floor population:
Floor 1: Consists of people watching netflix and taking naps simply in the library to get their mandatory study hours. If you dont mind noise this is the place for you.
Floor 2: Consists of people (like us) who are too lazy to walk up or down the stairs and don't mind a little bit of noise while they study.
Floor 3: Consists of people who like a little more quiet in their lives but still like to see the smiliing faces of their friends
Floor 4: DANGER: DO NOT COUGH,SNEEZE, OR BREATHE TOO LOUDLY. This is an island of desperation and isolation...and silence. Complete, total, agonizing, silence.
3. How to find a book:
-We don't know
-Ask the librarian (We don't know where they are either)
-If you cannot find the librarian, Google the Dewey decimal system or something
4. What you can and cannot talk about in the library:
-Acceptable Topics: Your professors, your boyfriend, your grades, your lunch, your lack of sleep, your stress level
-Unacceptable Topics: Your digestion problems, that weird growth on your leg, how long it's been since you last shaved, the cute guy at the next table,your period (it's never okay), how much you hate your suite-mate (you never know who's listening)
5. When to escape the library:
-When your eyesight starts getting blurry
-When you haven't washed your hair/been outside in three days
-When the only people left in the library are you and the Asians
-When it's that time of night where everything is funny (even your biology notes)
