What Your Study Spot Says About Your Study Habits

What Your Study Spot Says About Your Study Habits

1. Strozier

You are here for one of two reasons: A - you're here to actually get the school work you've procrastinated for a week done and you find yourself a quiet table hidden in the bookshelves of a part of the building that I've never been to, or B - you are in Stroz because you don't want to miss out on any action that goes down at this notorious FSU face-space. You also can only functionally do homework or study if half of the student body is there to observe and witness. Since your bio exam is in 5 hours, you will probably be there until 6:00am, while documenting it all on Snapchat. Stop ordering Jimmy Johns and get some work done. P.S. take off that Pot's band before swiping your card, please and thank you.

2. Dirac (or any non-Stroz library)

Damn, you're dedicated. Not only did you walk (or drive... you overachiever, you) to this location, but you made the academically favored decision to go to the quiet, productive library as opposed to the nightly post-game that is Strozier (sidenote: you're lying if you say you didn't go to Stroz after a night out while you were a freshman). Between the lovely nooks created solely for your academic success and that interesting, yet somehow confusing, staircase in the middle of the building, you're ready to get shit done. Plus, they just renovated the patio (outside seating for the nice weather is a win!) and have a fairly new Starbucks that helps caffeinate you without the awful line.

3. Literally anywhere else on campus

You're hoping to get in some quiet study time in between classes, or cram in a few more minutes of note-dump into your brain before an exam. You can focus in any situation and are merely just looking for a seat, with our without a neighboring table. You're pretty self-sufficient and therefore, I have nothing left to say. Go you!

4. Your house / apartment provided study area

You're the real winner here. Being mentally able to study and focus while lying in your own bed or laying on your own couch is the true testament to your self-control. You make your own coffee, settle in with your favorite blanket, and you never have to worry about forgetting a highlighter or notecards because they are just a few steps away. Good for you.

5. Starbucks, a trendy coffee shop, B&N, etc.

Hmmm. You're either really thirsty for that extra-studious-looking Snap Story or Insta, OR you really are just a dedicated student who likes the atmosphere of a quaint coffee shop. Can't tell if you're actually crazy for lugging all of your study supplies to a location other than campus, or if I'm just jealous of your pleasing aesthetic Insta page. Either way, this trip involves pants. I prefer not to study in pants. Go you, though. A for the effort! (Get it, ha.)

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
