Now that I know where the undergraduate library is on campus, (tbt to when I got lost....) I have been utilizing it much more. Because of this, I have noticed the different types of people that come to the UGL.
The "I'm doing a group project alone" people
These are likely the students that reserved an ENTIRE GROUP ROOM either for themselves, or they reserved it for their groups and no one showed up. Whichever is the case, it's a sad sight
The "I live here," people /the people who never leave/sleep
These people are also The "I'm here until 4 am regularly and Jimmy John's people know my name/order/location" people. Bec on our campus, JJ delivers until 3AM, and it's everyone's saving grace for the late nights, or nights in general.
The "I just need to get stuff done" people
I mainly chose this gif because Hermoine is very much on top of the stuff in her life and Harry is evidently not. This is the result of needing to get stuff done, a giant book being shoved in your face while you slac off.
The "library is a social place" people
These are the people that come to the library to have "study dates" with their friends and/or significant others. They are very evidently not getting a single thing done, and instead are talking very loudly EVEN ON THE QUIET FLOOR and are laughing about what Shakira did in class that day.
The "grainger engineering library is full" people
*Ron, the UGL?!?!?!??!?!!?
Everyone knows that Grainger is supposed to be designated specifically for the engineering students at UIUC, or the ~kings~ of us all, because obviously their homework and exams are tougher than those of their peers who are in different majors. However, everyone also knows that Grainger is the quietest, and the nicest library on campus as well, in a really scenic setting. seriously, why do the engineers get the nice buildings and the quad with a river????
The "I just need a quiet place to sleep" people
These are the students that either 1. don't go to class. 2. Hate their roommates. or 3. are just trying to find a quiet place to nap in between that 8 am and 11 am. Newsflash: I don't want your crusty drool all over the chair when you leave. *shudders.*
The ~serious~ students
No hate on Kylie, because girl, same. These students are also the " Professor, What's our homework?" And "I got an A-, not an A!!!!!!!!!!!"
The hardcore crammer
This is me, whether I like to admit it or not. I try harder to plan and study in advance, but a lot of times, that "one last episode of Friends or The Office," becomes a whole season. There's always the next exam, right??
The ~organized studier~
These are the students who fill out the study guide weeks in advance, and/or create their own study guide. These students probably start studying the first day of school for midterms and finals, but I've found that a lot of these students tend to be more stressed out because they overstudy.
Everyone else
Then, there's the rest of us, who are either a mix of all of these depending on sleep/caffeine intake, or just those of us that use the library a "normal" amount of time. At the end of the day we are all different when it comes to studying and being students, and we're all unique individuals.
