We've all been there. And maybe we're spending the night in the library cramming for an exam and have finally decided to print out class PowerPoints and that graph that you never really understood, but is definitely going to be on the test. But of course, because life isn't easy, the printers at school have a mind of their own, and it's never a simple road to get that shining white paper hot off the presses.

1. You enter the library "just to print something out."

2. Desktops to the left, coffee to the right ... here I am. Stuck in the middle with that decision.

3. All caffeined up, you sit down only to be distracted by freshman football players bored with mandatory study hall.

4. You pause to realize that your library is more of a social club than an actual place to get homework done.

5. You've finally gone to the class website and managed to open the document without a problem and question how short-lived this smooth sailing has to be.

6. You press print and say a prayer that this all turns out OK.

7. You look to Reference South, and, of course, it's not working. And, of course, that's where you've sent your stuff.

8. Round 2. Reference North.

9. Print. Undoubtedly, you're behind the guy printing an entire novel.

10. Finally, you can see what you've printed is slowly but surely adding up. Just when it has to about halfway through, ERROR flashes across the screen.

11. Paper. Jam. You've got to be kidding me.

12. You notify the attendant; they finally get around to fixing it while you're complaining with your friend about how "ridiculous" this campus is.

13. You've basically given up on trying to find where the printer left off, have recycled whatever came out and completely started over.

14. Print. *says another little prayer*

15. Finally. Paper in hand, and you can be on your merry way (even though you'll probably hang around and socialize for a while).
