Five Things To Do Inside The Library Besides Studying

Libraries are a great place to study-in theory. From their book covered hallways to the aromas from Starbucks drifting through the floors, there's more to the library than volumes of literary knowledge.


1. The Library is the Social Hub of every campus. You thought the bars were the place to be on an average week night, well just step through the doors of Hodges and see the hundreds of students procrastinating their studies and cramming for the next day's tests. Need an excuse to procrastinate? The Library is now your new best friend.

2. The numerous hallways and crevices make for the perfect hiding places for a great game of Hide and Seek or Sardines. Feeling like a kid again? Pick a floor and pick a corner for a quick game of Four Corners.

3. The library is a great place to feel productivity while not being productive at all. When your parents ask about your week and you tell them that you've spent most of your time in the library, they will probably be pretty proud. The library offers a safe environment to put your parents at ease while still having a social life.

4. Study rooms can be used for party rooms. Have a birthday coming up? Plan to throw a party in one of the various study rooms offered within the library walls.

5. As Spring Break and ultimately summer are upon us, we become more aware of our body image, exercise, and healthy eating. It is true that most libraries are more than one story (ha..ha..), so instead of taking the elevator, run the stairs. The library can offer your body both mental and physical exercise, just run some stairs in between assignments.

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.
