OWU Library

So the library has a reputation of always being quiet and boring, but the library is actually pretty great and has a lot of people who want to help you find sources for your papers and projects.

1. Interlibrary Loan

You can request books online (for free), and they'll be delivered to your library in about a week (for free). Did I mention that this miracle service is free?

2. Online Databases

There are a whole bunch of them that have different articles, essays and reviews. Some have primary sources. The possibilities are endless.

3. Books

Knowledge is power!

4. Seriously, So Many Books

Shelves and shelves of them!

5. Books About All Sorts Of Things

The library is a place where all majors and disciplines can come together in the pursuit of information.

6. A Place To Study

There is always one floor that is the "quiet" floor.

7. A Place To Work On Papers

For those all nighters and last minute typing!

8. A Place To Meet For Group Projects

They have tables, resources and space.

9. Archives

They work hard to preserve artifacts, books and articles. Check out the history!

10. Tutoring

There are people who want to help you do well in your classes, and they're waiting in the library to help you!

11. Media Center And AV Equipment

You can get movies in the library! It's great, like a free Redbox! You can also rent AV equipment (at least at my library)!

12. Poetry Slams And Performances

In our library, they have a "Culture Cafe," which is an open mic night. They also have "Live at the Library," where groups can perform acts of their choice.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
