Club Lib is Lit... Not

Sometimes the library is the place to go, but sometimes it kills a good study sesh

Club Lib is Lit... Not
Lexi McGough

If you've ever been to Kent's campus, you've seen the library. It's kinda hard to miss. When you take FYE as a freshman, you learn about all the floors and the content on each.The library is a great place to get some work done and it has some cool perks, so don't get me wrong when I say this: the library can sucks.

Let's just start off with the fact the Starbucks in the library doesn't take meal plan. Why? I couldn't tell you. Does anyone else remember when the escalators were down for a month and literally just became stairs we couldn't use? Oh and you want to take the elevator? Ha! Nice try! You will look like Gandalf by the time it arrives. There are signs posted talking about saving time and using the stairs, but who in their right mind wants to take nine flights of stairs?

Let's discuss the fourth floor...

The fourth floor is a place where one person will take up a cubicle to play on their phone. Or chatty people take up a booth for no reason. Like come on people, some of us have group work that needs done. There is always that one person passed out on a bean bag snoring obnoxiously. Sometimes you get that person playing music out loud or just singing their heart out like it's the season finale of The Voice.

Next bathrooms... Better make sure the floor you are on has a bathroom, because let me tell you, nothing is worse than having your stuff spread out, shoes off, in the zone, and then having to pee and realizing your floor doesn't have a bathroom. If you're like me, and you know you're on the floor alone, use the little boy's room, no one is around to judge anyways.

I get it, the higher up you go, the older the furniture gets. If you've ever been on the 10th floor you know how much the wooden chairs suck. So how about it, Kent? We could use some of those pretty green tuition dollars I pay every semester to update the library floors and chairs. If I can't focus on studying cause my butt hurts, I'm not going to succeed, and that just isn't right.

Club Lib isn't all that bad. I mean, I love the view out the windows when I'm on the higher floors (as long as I'm not looking at construction). If you find the right desk, you can find some pretty motivational sayings carved into the wood. The drop-in tutoring is such a help and I know it has saved me a few times. And okay, even if I have to pay real people money, having Starbucks downstairs is a blessing. Yes, the older floors suck, but the silence is amazing. I get so much accomplished. At the end of the day I'm sure everyone sees their own perks in the library, but I think the downfalls are pretty universal.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
