Ah, Cooper Hall. USF's hub of classrooms and offices, everyone's favorite place to go and freeze our broke little butts off. Where else would we go to waft the scent of Subway into our nostrils while we try to focus on whatever class it is we're taking at the moment? Where else would we roll our eyes at while we try to avoid the group of extremists who stand outside and scream at students?
Exactly.
Without further ado, here are 5 things everyone thinks about Cooper Hall.
1. WHY is it so cold?
I've mentioned it once, I've mentioned it three times, but it seems almost impossible to drill into the brain that Cooper is basically a euphemism for Antarctica. It's always freezing unless you're wearing some form of long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and there are times where you swear you can see icicles forming off of your nose. And yet, I still continue to attend class in my shorts and a tank top because it is still Florida weather outside, and I still continue to mentally berate myself every time I step indoors every time.
2. That Subway smell though
You want. You need. That line stretching out the front door says otherwise, though.
3. I'm pretty sure this bathroom is a set from a horror movie
It's dark, it's one-ply toilet paper, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to die in here. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, right?
4. Too many stairs
^ Actual footage of me climbing these stairs.
I could write sonnets about how much I hate climbing these stairs, and I hate writing sonnets.
If all the stairs I did not climb, I could/
I'm pretty sure I'd die, I'm sure I would.
5. Where is my classroom?
It's not in the upstairs, it's not in the downstairs, it's not in that weird third part of the building that's separated by that drafty open hallway that gets super dark when it rains. Oh, I read my schedule wrong? What? Oh. I'm dumb.
