Libraries

I am not particularly aware of the library culture on other college campuses, but on my campus it is very unique. For one, I would estimate that of all of the people in the library, only about 24 percent are actually studying or doing anything productive. I would say over half are on facebook, the rest are either on some other technology (yes probably their cell phone) or just staring blankly into space.

Copley Library is essentially a bar that does not serve food or alcohol, but im sure that has never stopped anyone from bringing the latter in. After all, the library is where everyone hangs out, debriefs, gets stressed out, and goes on crazy aderal and caffeine highs then crashes. Given this library culture, Copley Library took a big step and put up really threatening signs all over the library stating "Copley Library is a Quiet Space." They also established "quiet zones" where it is supposedly supposed to be quiet. Im pretty sure the most telephone conversations go on in this part of the library because the unquiet area is too loud to have phone conversations obviously. For awhile they had a man walking around shhhshing people that resembled Lord Voldermort-I think he got killed by Harry Potter, or just gave up trying to enforce quiet study spaces.

Most people do their homework early so they can come to club copley during dead hours (12-230) and sell sorority tshirts, flirt with the opposite sex, eat their smelly onion sandwich. I am always so thrilled when the clock strikes 220 because then everyone leaves and there is a possibility of finding a table somewhere close to an outlet (this way I dont have to crawl under someones cubicle with my ass stuck up in the air and hit my head to plug my computer in)

I wish i had worn a cuter outfit to sit in the library all day today........
