4 Places to Study at CofC That Are Better than the Library

Only a couple of weeks of classes are left before final exams which means that all of the study rooms, tables with outlets, and good spots in the library will quickly be filled. I personally love the library, but during exams it is filled with people who I am sure only enter during that week...and they take all of the good spots! Here are five of my favorite spots on campus to study to avoid the hustle and bustle of the library. 

1. The Cistern

Sure, exams are in December but in Charleston it is rare if our weather is below 50. Grab a blanket to lay on the ground, get a jacket and a coffee, and study in one of the most beautiful areas on campus!

2. The Cato Center

The Cato Center, home to the School of the Arts, is one of the newest additions on campus. There are chairs and couches located on the first floor, it is right across from Chick-Fil-A and a Starbucks. Prime Location. 

3. The Education Center

After all, the Education Center is our 24-hour study lounge. So even though the library opens up for 24 hours during exams you can avoid the crowds by heading over to the Education Center which just so happens to be by the CVS if snacks are needed. 

4. The Stern Student Center

There are study areas and study rooms located throughout the Stern Center. It is always a quiet area to study and a great place to meet for those group projects.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
