From Deets to Hancock.

7 Productive Places To Study At Virginia Tech That AREN'T The Library

Sometimes the library just won't do. Luckily, you have options:

1. Johnson Student Center

Johnson Student Center is great if you love smelling Subway all day long. It is great. There is a super comfy seating area on the second and first floor and if you ever need help with life just go to the Student Center and they can help you out!

2. New Classroom Building

NCB is the studying hub. There is seating everywhere, always access to an outlet and if you have a parking pass on Perry street it is super close to your car. The downsides though is that it's not close to much of anything else, for food you have to walk to Turner and if you take the bus it's also a pretty far walk. But if you want to get in some steps for the day this is the place for you.

3. Deets/DX backroom

There is a lot of seating options on the side areas of Deets and DX, not many people seem to go here and it's a pretty chill and trendy place. You can get your coffee fix, find a seat by an outlet, plug in and have a nice view out the window. Very relaxing.

4. McComass Hall

This one sounds a little odd but before a workout, if you have an assignment to do, this will be the perfect place to do it. They have tables leading up to the check-in desk and every time I have gone I have always been able to get a seat. Also, there are plugs next to the tables in case you need a charge up as well.

5. West End: Sun room

The perfect place to go when you want to grab a bite and you have some work to catch up on. The sunroom right next to the pasta and salad station is great and cheers you up since there's some great natural light. Keep in mind though that dinner rush is incredibly hectic so check it out during the off times which is basically anytime before 4.

6. Squires Student Center

Squires is another place where you can grab a bite and study at the same time. They have some great food options and three levels of seating options. When its raining try to grab a seat in the sunroom and look up it will feel like you're under a waterfall.

7. Hancock Hall

My all-time favorite place to study. Hancock is a nice calm and quiet environment to study or even take a snooze every now and then. It is one of the main engineering buildings and has some super comfy couches downstairs. There is also a cool rotunda area that not many people know about and it great if you want to be secluded.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
