6 Thoughts You Have While Studying In The Library
Jeremy Shere

Studying. We all have our methods. Some enjoy studying with flashcards and mnemonic devices. Others prefer to make outlines and memorize facts. Some people study in groups while others study alone. Some prefer to study at the library in between classes while others like staying into the wee hours of the morning. Regardless of your studying method or time, these are some thoughts we all have had while studying in the library.

1. "It's so cold in here."

Packing for the library means making sure you have your notebooks, textbooks, highlighters, blankets, hoodies, gloves, hats, scarves and most importantly, thermal underwear. The key is layers.

2. "I wonder how long it would take someone to find me if we played hide and go seek."

Admit it, you’ve thought it. With multiple floors, bookshelves and study rooms, the library would be the ideal location for a game of hide and go seek. Plus, hiding from our responsibilities sounds like a good idea sometimes.

3. "I wish that group would be quiet."

Our inner cranky grandma or grandpa sneaks out when we are trying to study and the table behind us just won’t shut up. “Seriously, what could possibly be so funny about your chemistry textbook that you can’t stop cackling?” or “I really don’t care about how many shots you took the night before. Congrats on breaking your record but now please take your conversation outside and away from me.”

4. "Did I ever learn any of this?"

At some point we all question whether we were actually in the right class or somehow, after months, we randomly walked into the wrong classroom and took notes on a completely different course. Even though we know deep down that we didn’t do that, the notes that we have seem so foreign and new that we wonder if we were even in the class to learn that material.

5. "Most of the books in here are older than I am."

Which is just a segue into thinking about life and time and black holes and if there are other lifeforms in the galaxy.

6. "How dare that person sit at my table. How do they not know that's my table? I have claimed it. It's mine."

*continues to glare at the back of the person’s head while belligerently flipping through your notes*

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
