The library can get old after a while. If you're looking for some new spots study, keep on reading!

Local Coffee Shop

That's right, I said a coffee shop and I am not talking about Starbucks, I am talking about a local coffee shop. Local coffee shops are so cute and can be a great place to get some work done. Plus, if you love coffee, local coffee shops have the best coffee!

Park

If you are looking to be outside while studying, a park is the best bet. In Charleston, there's so many parks, Hampton Park, Waterfront Park, and Whitepoint Garden. Bring a blanket and lay it in the grass and make yourself comfy!

Bookstores

A bookstore may not sound exciting, but you'd be surprised at how many people go into one, sit by the cafe, and read and study. It's even a plus, if you're looking for a new book.

A Classroom

This one sounds weird but I promise, it's not! An empty classroom is a great option because you can guarantee you won't have any distractions and it will be completely quiet so you can focus on studying.

Student Center

College of Charleston has a student center. While I don't use the student center to study or go too, there are so many people who do go. What is super nice is that there is an outdoor area with picnic tables, and it is never quite too busy.

Tutoring Center

If you need some help with what you're studying, go to the tutoring center! It is also very quiet in the tutoring center, so you can focus as well.

Dining Hall

Chairs Indoors Empty Table Room Windows

Personally, I have never tried this. But if you are someone who needs some white noise in the background to concentrate, this might be good for you!

Your Room

And of course, the last one is studying in your room! I love having a night where I stay in, lay in bed with Netflix on, and get some studying done. There's nothing wrong with studying in your room!

Studying outside of the library doesn't have to be boring!

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.

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.
