What Your Study Spot Says About Your Study Habits
USAToday

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.)

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
