6 Types Of People At College Libraries

1. The Social Butterflies.

Those that come to the library to socialize and make some more friends. What's better than a study date in the library? After all, being in the library means you tried, at least.

2. The Computer Hog.

You know these people. The log-onto-a-computer-and-show-up-every-45-minutes-type-of-people. Or better yet, the let-me-play-some-video-games-on-a-computer-someone-could-be-studying-on type of people.

3. The-Live-To-Distract.

One way to do well in a class is to do well on your exams. Another, much easier method is too ensure that everyone else does poorly. Come to the quietest library of your college, distract as many people as you can, and then quietly fly away.

4. The Table Hog.

These people are everyone's favorite. They come to the library, mark their territory, and then show up whenever they feel like it. They don't really care about studying, but they sure don't want you to take their "spot," just in case they potentially feel like studying in the future.

5. The Eater.

These are the people that work less, eat more. They take every single study break physically possible to go down to the cafe and EAT. These people are also the loud obnoxious eaters on every floor. They won't study themselves, and will ensure that you don't either.

6. The Sleeper.

These are the college students who just don't find their dorm room bed comfortable enough. They take every opportunity to spread their books out, make it look like they are the most studious individuals in the entire college population, and then they fall asleep.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
