The campus library is either your best friend or your worst nightmare.
If you're one of those people who loves to just focus and power through your work for the week, it's the safest place to do so, but if you're as easily distracted as I am, it's just a disaster; no matter how hard you try you just always end up distracted.
Speaking of distractions, if you're looking for one right now, here are the eight people you meet at the library:
1. The people who only came to get Starbucks.
No matter what time of day it is, there's guaranteed to be at least 3 people waiting in line as soon as you walk into the library, and you're always half-tempted to hop in line, too, but then you realize you've only been in the building for 20 seconds and you already got distracted.
2. The study group.
Throughout the entire library, there's destined to be only one table full of people actually managing to work/study together without getting off-topic every 5 minutes, and every time you see them you can't help but be a little jealous.
3. The off-duty tutor.
Chances are you'll either see this person trying to squeeze in getting some of their own work done between sessions, or if they're not working that day at all, scoffing at their friends' homework before helping them save their GPA.
4. The person who wanders around looking for a seat for like, 20 minutes.
Usually a freshman, seeing this person walk around aimlessly for what feels like a lifetime almost makes you feel bad enough to give them your seat. Almost.
5. The table full of loud people.
We've all been there before: just as we're about to finally put our phones down, get into the zone, and start our own work, we hear music and laughter loud enough to shake the books off the shelves. These people don't mean to be a distraction- they honestly did come here to get their work done, but no matter how noisy they are, none of us can really blame them because let's be real here, we've all been those people before.
6. The one friend that keeps distracting the whole table.
All of us have a friend that, no matter how much work they have, still manages to socialize between homework questions. Usually they're whining about their workload, showing everyone some new meme, or badly singing along to whatever song they're listening to, but as noisy as they are, you can't help but find them hilarious anyway. Oh, and if you don't have a friend like this, chances are you're the friend.
7. The people who just need to print something.
In and out just like a ghost, you never see this person there for long, but whenever you do catch a glimpse they're clutching on to what seems to be at least 15 pages of notes, homework, and essays all for different classes. How they never run out of printer money blows your mind.
8. The one who, despite it all, still manages to focus enough to do their work.
Whether they're alone or amongst their friends, these people somehow manage to get all of their work done in only an hour or two before smugly strutting out of the building.
