Oh, Davidson Library. You are my home, nemesis and confidant. You’ve been my crying shoulder and my biggest supporter. While I dread entering your hollowed doors, we always somehow end up together. If you are a UCSB student, you can also attest that Davidson Library holds a special place in your heart. Whether it was a hung-over nap, or a post-14-hour-study-binge-breakdown, Davidson has been there with you through it all. I would like to take a minute to talk about moments that everyone who's encountered Davidson will understand.

1. Fourth floor.

A whole new library was built, yet everyone and their mother still lives on fourth.

2. “Is there an outlet? Can I use your outlet? I need an outlet.”

We pay so much to attend this school, but they have yet to figure out how to supply an adequate amount of outlets.

3. Hunger Games, AKA finding a spot at a table finals week and midterm season.

4. When you know someone with a study room.

Whatever you do, just DO NOT eat the Annie Chungs noodles.

6. The abundance of Yerba Mates.

If you went to Davidson and didn't have a Yerba, did you really go to Davidson?

7. Taking a trendy picture of the new library for your Insta/Snap story, but still ending up studying in Davidson, on fourth.

8. Deciding between the stairs or elevator.

Waiting 15 minutes for the elevator versus nearly having an asthma attack walking up the steps. Debatable.

9. The death of Davidson’s main entrance and first-floor coffee shop.

Of all the things to take away, why those?

10. When you get an open table with an outlet.

11. The fact that the new library is more practical as an art museum than an actual library.

12. When you accidentally go to a quiet floor.

13. When the Co-op hands out snacks finals week.

14. Finally, leaving after either an extremely productive or useless day.
