This semester, I have been spending a large amount of my time in the library. I am there about any time of day, so I have experienced a lot of different things in there. Sometimes I have a very peaceful and productive experience, but sometimes things in the library really irk me. Here are four things you should not even consider doing in a library.

1. Eat loud food

Who in their right mind thinks that it is okay to eat chips, apples, or carrots in a library? Those are some of the noisiest foods to eat, and some people think it is a freaking miraculous idea to eat those types of crunch foods in the quietest places. Just don't eat loud food in the library! Don't even think about it! Everyone will like you a whole lot better and I bet you won't receive any evil glares anymore.

2. Snore

The other day I was in one of the quiet rooms of the library and I kid you not someone was tucked away in a corner somewhere fast asleep and snoring. This man sounded like a jet engine in there and someone even left the room because of it.I don't really care if someone sleeps because you gotta do what you gotta do, but if you snore, please just leave and go back home to your bed.

3. Leave your stuff unaccompanied for hours

Sometimes I am in the very crowded library and pass a dozen tables that are occupied by bags and laptops without a person in sight. I understand if you want to go and grab a to-go box from the dining hall and come back, but if I am at the library for three hours and haven't seen a single person at your table filled with books, that is just ridiculous.

4. Rush people out of study rooms before their time is up

Sometimes I will have a study room booked for a certain amount of time and the next group will come in ten minutes before my session is up and tell me they have it booked and just sit their stuff down and expect me to get up and leave. I totally understand and respect that you have the room booked, but I also have it booked and you're invading on my time. Just be respectful and don't rush people out before their session is even up.

So, just be a good person and don't do any of these things in the library. You'll thank me later.
