Studying may be one of the worst parts about college, but also one of the most important. During the first semester of my freshman year, I fell into the habit of doing all my homework and studying in my dorm, and it started to suck. After talking to my friends and becoming more comfortable with campus, I have found that there are much better locations around campus to study! Studying doesn't have to be as bad as we tend to make it out to be, especially if you're in a spot that allows you to be comfortable and productive!

1. Landis.

If the weather is nice, one of my favorite things to do is grab my towel and backpack and then lay down on Landis. Sitting in the shade with my laptop, soaking in the beautiful weather is a great way for me to be productive. Not to mention you might be lucky enough to see some really cute puppies running around!

2. Sweetshop.

Sweetshop is located right across the street from campus, and if you're looking to grab a bite while studying, this is a great option. It is usually pretty packed, but if you like studying in a busy environment, while also snacking on some great fruit (and maybe even an iced coffee), consider checking it out!

3. Strozier/Dirac library.

The library isn't for everyone, but for those of us who thrive off of a quiet and structured environment, hitting up the library to do work is your best bet. Not to mention the libraries on campus also have private study rooms that you can book if you really need a quiet space to focus!

4. Starbucks.

Starbucks is one of my favorite places to study. If you don't want to hit up one of the Starbucks locations on campus, consider the one on Tennessee Street, which is still walking distance from campus. Grinding out an essay while also sipping on an iced chai tea latte really helps me get in the zone.

5. William Johnston Building.

This newly renovated building is another great study spot on campus. It has tons of seating, features the ACE Tutoring Studio, and is almost never crowded. If you want a space where you can access tutoring and also do your own thing, WBJ is for you. Not to mention, it is literally right across from Chick Fil A and Suwannee, so you don't need to worry about going hungry while you study.

6. Greenwise Market.

If you're up for a 15-minute walk to Collegetown, Greenwise might become your new favorite study spot (it's definitely mine). Greenwise has tons of outdoor and indoor seating, a salad bar, pizza bar, coffee shop, and tons of great deals on groceries! Grab yourself a coffee/snack and you're all set.

7. The Rez.

This may seem like an unconventional study spot, but if you're not too overloaded with work, driving out to the Rez to do some reading or a writing assignment is another great option. You get to soak up some Vitamin D, catch up on work, and enjoy all the activities offered when its time for a study break!

8. Dorm study rooms.

Even though studying in the dorms is not my personal favorite, some people really like it! Most dorms have a study room on each floor, which can be a great place if you don't want all the distractions you might have in your room. This is also a great option for late night studying when you don't want to wake your roommate up, but don't feel like leaving the dorm.

9. Cascades Park.

Sticking to the theme of outdoor studying, Cascades Park offers a great serene environment. There is also a cafe right under The Edison restaurant, so if you need a coffee or snack, they've got you covered!

10. Seminole Cafe.

Seminole Cafe is usually a lot less busy than Suwannee and can be a great place to study and do work. They have tons of seating and great food options. If you're not a fan of studying outside, consider the dining hall!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
