7 Reasons To Love The 'Lib'

Because it's the best building on campus (expect for maybe the dining hall)

7 Reasons To Love The 'Lib'
Eric E Johnson

Lib, because yes I am too lazy to actually say library these days. I know it may sound lame, but I really do love the library. I definitely spend more time in there than I do in my room. But there’s just something about the lib. Just think, a while back someone put in all this money and made some giant building and threw a ton of books in it. And now I practically live in that building. So, you should too.

1. What better place to study than the lib?

It may seem obvious, but so many people are studying in these crowded places, like the dining hall, outside, their rooms. Why do so when books can surround you?

2. The library can truly be your home.

And what I mean by that is-you can order pizza to the actual library, and enjoy it in a nice cubicle.


3. What if you’re trying to avoid someone?

People can be exhausting sometimes. You know what’s a good place to not be bothered? The silent floor of the library.


4. Or... the exact opposite, the library is a big place and people do hang out on the non-silent floor.

The library is great to bump into someone there and maybe even study with.


5. Need to cozy up with a good book?

It’s like people forget the books that are staring at them in the lib. Take one down, grab your scone and get reading. The library acts like a pretend Barnes and Noble for me, except without the built-in Starbucks).


6. Library’s are really practical.

Most of the people who work/volunteer as study mentors, tutors, and people who are like really good at school, also happen to live in the lib. Take advantage of them, it’s kinda their job.


7. Don’t forget to rest.

There will be a time (or many times) in everyone’s college career where they must stay up and pull that all-nighter. The library will be your rock for that one. You may start out at 7 p.m. and slowly but surely find your way to 7 a.m., crouched over in a little library chair. The lib will always be there, so don’t forget to love it!

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.

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.

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.
