8 Thoughts College Students Have When Sitting In The Library

If you could read everyones mind in the library, I guarantee it would be one of these thoughts.

8 Thoughts College Students Have When Sitting In The Library
Kirsten Ocwieja

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?

Seriously, everyday I am here I see more and more people I have never seen in my life. Where are you coming from? Why are they multiplying? There are not enough seats for all these people.

6. I need my dog.

I bet that if my University allowed me to have my dog by mysids 24/7 for moral support, I would ace every single test.

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.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
