College is a grind and we all know sitting in the library doing work becomes our second home.
On average, most of us spend about four to five days at the library a week and for us frequent flyers, several of the same reoccurring thoughts seem to pop into our heads while sitting in the silence doing work.
1. I want to go back to my dorm and sleep for the next 365 days.
What is it about work that just seems to make me so ... so ... tired. I would do anything to go back to my room and watch "The Office" right now.
2. Why is the heat never on?
It is 12 degrees outside, why does it need to be 11 degrees inside the library? Forget a cute outfit, I will be wearing at least five layers and will make sure to bring my heaviest blanket.
3. You have worked so hard; treat yourself to some online shopping.
Honey, you just killed that last hour of studying ... go online and online shop 'til you drop.
4. How do I always get so out of breath when I walk up the stairs?
I am on the quiet floor, everyone can hear me trying to catch my breath and probably wants to tell me to be quiet. I better start working out more.
5. OK, where did all these people come from?
6. I need my dog.
7. Stop talking, NOW.
I need full silence when doing work and after all, it IS the quiet floor. Show some respect.
8. I have no idea what I am doing.
I might be here everyday in the same seat with all of my books sprawled around me, but I can guarantee my mind is racing with 100 different thoughts not related to what I should be doing.
