If you are a student at the Claremont Colleges, you may have paid a visit to the infamous Honnold-Mudd library (hopefully). Whether you are a regular or are one of those people who has never been to the library until finals week, here's a guideline to help you navigate the building in terms of your level of procrastination.

First Floor:

This is always the most crowded floor, usually attracting those who are here half to socialize and half to actually do work. Most people use this floor for group projects (or just group gossip circles) or to eat a meal and work. It is also known for the Cafe, which you will most likely get ripped off with a $4 coffee at some point during your time here when late-night caffeine desperation kicks in. If you know you are not going to get a lot of work done, but want to feel better about yourself for being at the library, this floor may be for you. Just beware of the CGU students trying to guilt-force you into participating in their psych studies.

Guest Maddy Hauenstein shares that "It is the perfect place to eavesdrop on lives that are probably far more interesting than yours."

Second Floor:

The second floor productivity level is for those who want a mostly quiet, less social atmosphere, but are scared of the intensity of the fourth floor productivity level (eerie quietness and isolation). It is also the floor with access to librarians and research assistants if you are writing a grueling paper. They rock!

Third Floor:

This floor is also known as Library Neverland. Let's be honest, who studies on the third floor?

Disclaimer: Guest Maddy Hauenstein disagrees, stating that the third floor is "the perfect place to delve into her dense theory books on the power of social change and contentious political action, as well as the Communist Manifesto. If you are lucky to find a spot nestled between the dusty bookshelves, you can almost hear the thoughts of those who sat in the chair before you thinking the same pretentious thoughts that are now running through your multi-faceted brain."

Fourth Floor:

This is the "I have a paper due in less than 12 hours and I need to force-focus myself" kind of floor. Be aware—even the rustling of a bag of chips will inevitably draw glares. If you seek the depressing, isolated, "I can hear myself breathing" vibe when you study, this floor may be for you.
