10 Study Hot Spots Around College Station To Get You Through Finals

As finals approach, everyone seems to be crowding campus. Campus seems super packed, not enough parking spaces, but where else is there to go? I'll drop some of some sweet spots I've found on my search for study spaces. I'll try not to give the most basic ones.

10 Study Hot Spots Around College Station To Get You Through Finals

@povacoffeehouse Instagram https://www.instagram.com/povacoffeehouse/

1. Blue Baker

So a lot of the times, you go to school without your laptop or phone fully charged. Well let me tell you, not only does Blue have coffee but they have lots of outlets AND booths for you to sit in! Everything you need and more. Lots of the time, it's super empty, so even better if you want somewhere quiet to study.

2. POV

This coffee shop is out of the way, yes, but it has a nice view of a lake and right next to the Stella Hotel. Their London fogs are also on my list of top 5 best London Fogs in Cstat. Just a btw, they close around 5pm

3. Minuti Coffee

This is one of my most recent finds. Not only do they have some tasty coffee, but it's rarely packed. It's aesthetically pleasing and the music they play is spot on. Just a heads up, not too many outlets for chargers.

4. Tipsy Bean

No, this is not the bar, that's the Tipsy Turtle. This sweet hot spot is nice if you're planning on studying alone. I don't recommend a big group going to study here just because it's a tight fit.

5. Gogh Gogh Coffee Shop

Granted they close rather early and don't have lots of tables, it's a good place to study one-on-one with someone.

6. The Brew Coffeehouse

This place has lots of study space, super good coffee, and close rather late for a coffee shop!

7. Coffee Shop in A&M Hotel

I know this is on campus BUT it's rarely full AND there are lots of outlets available. Not many people know about it, but it's not a bad spot if you park in the garage.

8. Annex 2nd & 6th Floor

These are hidden gems. Not many people think about studying on these floors. But there is such an open floor space and there are white boards available, so it's perfect for group studying.

9. West Campus Library

As odd as it sounds, this is typically a super nice spot to study, especially during those late night study sessions. Even if you're studying alone, first floor is rather quite and second floor is great for group studying. Get out of Evans! aka get out of your comfort zone!

10. Student Computing Center

Located right in front of the commons, this is a perfect place if you want to seclude yourself in a cubicle with a provided PC. It's rather quiet for the most part. It's walking distance from Evans Starbucks, available printer to print notes, and open 24/7.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
