What Where You're Studying Right Now Says About You

Old Fenwick or New Fenwick?

What Where You're Studying Right Now Says About You
Tumblr

Studying on campus is a feat for any student of Mason. But where you study says a lot about you as a student and your identity as a Patriot.

1. The second floor of the JC

You are definitely in Greek life. You study in groups of eight or more and probably have a GroupMe for the sole purpose of organizing study sessions. You're cozy in your patagonia and probably stopped at Starbucks on your way to one of the massive tables on the second floor.

2. Outside of the Northern Neck Starbucks

You hate studying. Now that the weather has warmed up, all you want is to be outside. You probably live in Northern Neck and your hobbies include drinking iced coffee and people watching.

3. Old Fenwick

You're sentimental and cling to the familiar. You're not tempted by new Fenwick's rooftop garden, comfy chairs, or abundance of outlets. Old Fenwick was there for you when you pulled your first all-nighter in freshman year, or when you needed a place to hang out while your roommate's boyfriend was visiting. You're not quite ready to let go.

4. A Group Study Room

You are definitely not messing around. You have a specific task to complete and you have come to do just that. You're an engineering or math-based major with a reputation for marathon study sessions, and a private study room is your perfect habitat.

5. The first floor of the JC

Food is your primary concern. There's no way you're studying without the comfort of knowing Panera's broccoli cheddar soup is just a few steps away. Noise doesn't bother you, in fact, it helps you focus. You're a social butterfly and love running into people you know.

6. De Clieu Cafe

Hipster alert. You love old town Fairfax in all of its faded glory. You're an esteemed latte art critic who enjoys rustic interior design and street views. You're almost definitely an English or History major and the "Hermionie" of your group of friends.

No matter where you're studying, good luck on finals, Mason. Remember that you can't spell "studying" without "dying."

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
