By: Paige Kleinfelder '14It is typical for college students to be stressed during finals week, but, for me, the week before finals is much more demanding. I spent last week editing my freshman writing portfolio, putting together my philosophy of education paper, and completing two drawings. That meant spending a lot more time in the library… I finally figured out how helpful study rooms are!
So, last Wednesday, after going to Simeon’s with some friends for dinner, we all went over study room one in the library with laptops and stacks of books. After working for a few hours, I found myself writing lists of things on the side of my notes to put in my blog… I recently came across this list and thought I should share what I found:
As I write this it is 12:23am and I have spent the last two and a half hours working and laughing. My favorite three things about doing work with friends:
- We can test insane ideas like, “What if you had to walk with your knees stuck together?” as mini-study breaks. (And in case anyone is wondering, if you try to run with your knees together it looks exactly the same as walking, but you will have a more determined look on your face.)
- Rather than holding conversations with my laptop and assignments after having too much caffeine, I have real people to talk to.
- I actually get more work done. (Don’t ask me how, I have no idea)
Next time I have papers to write and tests to cram for, I will be found in the library having way more fun than anyone should ever have doing homework.
