5 Outdoor Places To Study At UK When The Weather Decides To Cooperate

In This Article:

Unpredictable weather patterns are a staple for Lexington, KY. Every University of Kentucky student knows how downright cold it can be one day, and then it magically feels like a Spring day the next. As someone who could literally be outside all day every day, the cold definitely changes my mind about wanting to study in the quad. Sometimes, however, we get lucky in the colder months and receive a few days of t-shirt weather. On those days, every single UK student can be found out enjoying the warmth. For the Wildcats who want a beautiful spot to study in when the weather is great, this list is for you.

1. Patio at Starbucks

The Gatton Student Center will always be a great resource for many things, and study spots are no exception. The patio outside of Starbucks is a great place to enjoy the weather, get your assignments done, and grab a coffee while you're at it!

2. Colorful lawn chairs

If you've been on UK's campus before, you've probably seen the numerous colorful and vibrant lawn chairs placed sporadically throughout the campus. When the weather is warmer, finding an open one is a difficult task!

3. Quad on south campus

In between all of the numerous Woodland Glen residence halls, is an enormous amount of green space. Grab a blanket to lay on the grass and study in the quad with numerous other students.

Making the list for a second time, the Gatton Student Center also has a few hidden gems when it comes to places to study. If you go up to the third floor, you'll find secluded patio areas that let you enjoy the weather without all the noises from other people!

5. Outside of Whitehall

I constantly see people sitting with their laptops on the cement half walls outside of Whitehall. Enjoy the warm Kentucky breeze while getting your studying in!

Sunny and warm days are anomalies in the winter months at UK. When they happen, many students take full advantage and spend as much time as they can outside. With these study spots in mind, you can take your studying to a whole new level while also enjoying the warm Kentucky sunlight.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
