6 Reasons To Go To The Library Aside From Studying
Ethan Williamson

While mainly used for studying and completing your assignments, the library can also be the perfect place for other activities. To me, the library is so much more than the stacks of books and desks it contains. It is a safe haven where I can go to at any time. It is the only place where I can comfortably enjoy being alone without feeling any pressure or judgment from others.

Here are some of the reasons you can find me at the library, even when I have nothing to work on currently:

1. To be more productive. 

Regardless of whether or not something is due for a class or there's just something I want to get done in general, you can always find me at the library to get it done. I am not the type of person t can get things accomplished in his apartment (my bed is just too tempting). I also hate complete silence, so going to the library also solves this.

2. To be more social. 

Wait, you're probably thinking that the library and being social can not possibly go together. I can tell you that is indeed false. It is the perfect spot for my friends and me to get caught up about what happened over the weekend while being productive at the same time.

3. To people-watch. 

Everyone has to study, and where is a more popular place to go than the library? There are seriously so many different and interesting people that make up this campus and the library unites them all. Whenever I have time between classes and do not feel like walking home, you can find me taking it all in.

4. To nap. 

Not going to lie, the library has some pretty comfy chairs that are often unused. If I just need a break from people or have an hour to kill before classes, you can find me at the library laying down, listening to music or watching a show on Netflix. The "Harry Potter" room in Penn State's library is especially good for this!

5. Starbucks. 

Sure the line may be ridiculously long, but the location at the library is closest to all my classes. It also moves pretty quickly considering all of the people that wait in it. You can catch me ordering a Strawberry Açaí Refresher and not worrying if this makes me late for class.

6. Tech Support. 

Anyone who knows me knows that I am constantly having problems with my laptop. Whether it be connecting to the WiFi or spilling lemonade over it, I have definitely consulted the IT desk for free and quick help. Highly recommend over the Geek Squad in State College.

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.

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.
