Library During Finals Week: ETIQUETTE

For all of you who spend some time studyin in the library. I did not write this but found it last finals week. Also, I am not a frat child, just find their retardation hilarious. May not go to PSU but you will get a kick out of it.

Attention.

It is now finals week time, and I will be taking a break from the ho-slaying-pussy-pounding-frat-star lifestyle and be at the library for the next week.

For this week please refrain from the following:

1) DO NOT pass out on the comfy chairs in the Princeton like library area on the second floor above the stuffed lion. They are the only place in the library that is comfortable enough for anyone to be able to focus on a textbook or notecards, and are not for you to pretend to be homeless for a few hours.

3) GET THE FUCK OFF OF FACEBOOK ON THE COMPUTERS WHEN THERE IS CLEARLY A LINE FOR THEM AND YOU ARE SITTING THERE TAGGING YOURSELF IN PHOTOS AND SENDING FUCKING CLIPART GIFTS TO PEOPLE (this especially goes for asian girls. not being racist, just need a computer.)

4) DO NOT start trying to hit on girls in the library. It is loud and annoying, and the pick up line " (Girl's Name) Oh my god I am so fucked for this test cause I was sooooo fuckeddddd uppppp last night (insert story about how you rode the white loop home) and we need to study together... " doesn't fucking work. You sound like you want to be her gay friend, and most importantly you annoy me when I am trying to study.

5) DO NOT decide that the library has for the better part of 45 minutes... turned into FUCKING PIZZA HUT. I hate when all of a sudden I'm at a table, and boom, pizza party. It's always you little fuckers that think that you need a study break when really all you have done is sit at a table and bitch about how you were hungry, how the test is gonna be too hard, how you're so bored, and how you wish that you could just be home and it was christmas every day, and other shit that is irrelevant, until you all decide you need pizza.

6) DO NOT make it awkward for us to have to shit in the library. We are all drinking coffee, we are all eating unhealthy. it is finals week. It kills me inside when I see a guy walk out of the bathroom, and then a girl walk past it and come storming into the reading room bitching about how the bathroom smells. That is because people poop in there.

7) PLEASE CONTINUE to blow a shitload of adderall prior to library visits. I love seeing all these kids cracked out as fuck sprinting around the library biting their fingernails. it's the only happiness in my day during finals week.

Thank You

funny cause it's true. everyone knows those people who insist on going to the lib so they can talk about their work the entire time, do nothing, and then leave after 3 hours of talking about stupid shit

The only thing that really pisses me off in the library is when people have their headphones so loud that I can hear them from a distance away. If your music is so loud that it is detrimental to people 25 feet from you, there is no way that it is aiding in your own studies.

That and when people constantly sniffle their nose for 30 minutes instead of going to the bathroom and blowing it.

As far as dumping in the library goes, never had any problem with awkwardness. If you ask me, aside from smoke breaks, shitting in the library is the best study break there is. Grab the school newspaper, post up in the handicapped stall with extra leg room, have a nice leisurely poo that you know will flush with the industrial library toilets, and even if it doesn't they aren't yours.

HAHAHA i totally agree with the whole thing except for at my school its like fucking babysitting hour for little black kids at the computers. I understand people all have problems and not everyone can find a sitter but if i have to listen to one more 4 year old have a melt down 45 min before a test im gonna do put their parent over my knee and teach em a little about respecting others. I didnt pay thousands of dollars to fail a final bc someone doesnt have 20 bucks to take their kid to day care.

Word, I hate ass holes in the library when I'm trying to study. I usually avoid libraries finals week though, too crowded, might as well just study at home where it's quiet since I have a house not an apartment or duplex.

It's the worst.
I get to the library at 7:30 everyday (cause it doesn't open any earlier) to read the paper and business publications before class and last Friday I get there, sit down in an utterly fucking massive library. There is literally only one other kid in the whole place, and he sits down right next to me, with is headphones seriously so loud you could hear them 50-60 feet away and hear the lyrics. I was seriously just astounded at the audacity of this fucking prick. Needless to say, 7:30, being much much too early for conflict, I stood up and just walked away seething. Probably shoulda just told the kid what a prick he was, but I doubt it would have made a difference, and asshole is an asshole.

Last week I had some girl come in, sit at my table and start bitching loudly about her relationships. As in, she was bitching about how some girl broke her and her bf up OVER A YEAR AGO. And comparing her relationship with said bf to one of the couples on Jersey Shore. After about an hour of this she left, she hadn't even brought a text book to make it look like she was studying.

Ugh or the people who decide the library is a good place for a little PDA. I don't want to see the couple on the beanbag chair a few metres from me start going at it. Not only is it distracting, it makes me wonder what has happened on the bean bag chair I am sitting on. No thank you.

People who do that intense of PDA's are so gross. If I were doing that kinda shit I'd be embarrassed to be doing it in public. Not to mention it would just be straight awkward and such a show of classless-ness.

never understood the concept of going to the library to study. I go to write a few papers now and then, and otherwise go to print because it's free there. Otherwise I never go.

I don't see the logic in leaving my nice quiet room where, at most, there will be 4 people (who are also studying) to go hang out in a big building with hundreds of other people, the majority of which aren't studying and just being annoying.

Also don't get how people are constantly writing papers in lounges at 2am. How the hell do people let it come to that? I've got a shitload of work, but i'm still done with work by 9pm.

hahaha so true. I always hated when people used the comfy chairs with their laptops to look at facebook or nap, or when they used the public computers for facebook. my school was pretty tough on the no food in the book area rule, though. there were a lot of designated areas where you could eat and study.

I go to PSU and i approve of this statement.

its the same, and in some respects worse, in the study lounges in east. in the quiet rooms 10 sorrostitutes will come in, unload all their books and shit onto the table, then proceed to talk obnoxiously loudly about how much of a slut some other bitch is because she slept with some dude after they did. the volume gets worse and worse until they're literally yelling at each other and usually someone who is trying to study snaps and yells "SHUT THE FUCK UP". at this point they usually will be quiet for about 6-8 seconds then bitch about what an asshole that guy is to tell them to shut up. its not like its the silent study lounge or anything...

I have to go to the library to get shit done. There is too many distractions at my house; xbox, food, tv, xbox.

If I go to the library Im there for a reason and I get shit done.

we have private soundproof rooms, basically a cubicle with a desk, two chairs, and a door. i get so much shit done in those rooms. nothing to distract you unless you start to count the holes in the ceiling tile... that will waste alot of time without you even noticing.


as for blowing addy, i do that alot during finals, to the point where ive thought about buying a coke ring lol. one addy in the morning, and blow lines accordingly throughout the day when it starts to wear off, not a fan of taking an addy at 5 and being up till the crack of dawn because i cant sleep

I agree with everything in the post. I hate the library during finals/midterms, its like the god damn African savanna out there.

Luckily, my Library has a 3rd floor that you have to be quiet on, so that is a nice place, except there are only a few computers up there.

There is a science building on my campus, and I have been using the lab rooms in there to do work. There is plenty of room to spread out, there is usually no one in there, and there are plenty of computers in most of them so it works out wonderfully.

There is also a physical science building with a 'Chemistry Computer Room' which is very well air-conditioned, quiet, and has each of the 20-ish computers in there has dual monitors. There is always a place open in there, and there is an adjacent room with a table and chairs to do some other work in.

The most important thing about studying is finding a great place to do it, and fortunately for me, I know of many places.

The only thing that bothers me at the lib is when one person sits at a table that could accommodate a group of people. If you're by yourself use a cubicle. That was mad funny though.

Damn, I'm glad we don't have frats or sororities, none of those jack-offs in the library around these parts. Wish we had those soundproof rooms, I usually just go somewhere sorta hidden in the library where people don't come and make noise.

OSU has a floor in their library, at the highest level, that is a no tolerance no talking zone. If you talk, you will literally be walked out. It's excellent.

Yeah, usually there are out of the way places on campus that no one ever goes to... A good example at my school would have been the asian studies library or the first nations library

people at the library are fucking retarded and usually sick so i avoid that place like the plague, especially during finals week. they seem to lack the common sense needed to figure out that if you stay up all week studying, taking adderall, and drinking coffee with 1000 other sick students, that they will get sick too. all of that is too distracting for me so i just chill at my apartment b/c i am the only one there from 8am-4pm, make espresso, and get way more work done than i ever would at the library. plus then you don't have to worry about getting hungry, losing your spot, getting annoyed, etc. and when i finish my shit early, i crack a few beers, chill out, and go to bed early.

im usually at my schools medical library for the med students, so nice. so quite, everyones on the same page study wise as in they want to get shit done.

i was there one night studying and a group of sorority girls walked in, sat down, all logged into fb or perez hilton, ..... i went to go get a coffee and a couple of them did too and as i was walking behind them i overherad them say " the only good thing about the med lib is that all the guys are gonna be doctors, and for the most part they seem pretty good looking, not a bad deal, studying while on the prowl, next time im going to dress accordingly."
i judged them a little bit.

I've never studied in a library, ever. Everyone I know who does so claims that it's the only way they can actually get shit done and not get distracted, which to me is just a sign of laziness and lack of self-discipline.

However, if you live in a frat or something I guess anywhere else than home would be a better place to cram.

I was studying for my physics midterm and somebody running for the president of our student society or some shit actually came and bothered me while I was studying to try and get my vote.

I also hate it when people eat in the library. There is a food court for a reason, use it and get the fuck out if you're not studying.

you must be on trimesters like i am

Usually on the quiet floors at my school kids are somewhat respectful. I heard though last week kids were playing silent library on the quiet floor. Like they were reenacting the show.. I wasnt there when it happened, but it sounded funny... unless you were trying to study.

At no point did i say I had a problem nor did I claim that i wrote it, which I didn't.

Also, just noticed that rule number 2 is missing or skipped, so NS what shall rule number 2 be?
