Study rooms are essential to a college student’s academic life. How else can I get work done if I am not alone in a four-foot by four-foot cubicle? I like my studying to feel like I’ve just entered corporate America. So here are the ten most efficient ways to utilize a study room:
- Do your therapy! I love listening to all your personal problems through the very thin Uris walls. Awwwwww your boyfriend doesn’t think you’re funny, tbh listening to your therapy neither do I…
- Listen to your music out loud while doing your work. It’s so relaxing to hear the muted melodies of Deftones drifting into my workspace.
- Talk loudly about your sex life with your bestie. I know wayyyyy too much about what you did last night and I’m sorry about that thing he tried at the end.
- Tune your sax. Don’t get me wrong I love jazz but your saxophone is wayyyy out of tune and you don’t play it very well. Wannabe Squidward.
- Bathe your pet rats. They’re so cute when they’re covered in lavender bubble bath! I love to hear the cacophony of their high-pitched squeals and turn to look just in time to see a wet rat scurry into my school bag.
- Turn the study room into your pottery studio. It’s way too hard to get into the Columbia ceramics course so make your own makeshift studio in Milstein! I bought a vase out of Study room 210 last week and it’s a great addition to my space.
- Create your own hibachi grill. Bring all your favorite toppings from H mart and a portable grill and get those flames going! Bonus points if you do it Benihana style and create a beating heart out of fried rice or throw a shrimp into someone’s hat.
- Throw a party. Dorm parties are soooo overrated and Armstrong is so over them, if you want to keg stand with Laura start sending out Posh VIPs for a Butler study room rager immediately!
- Put your tattoo skills to use and open your own tattoo parlor. It’s time to put those notebook sketches onto someone’s body permanently! Book a study room at one am and open the underground tattoo parlor of your dreams… I heard Chef Mike is on the lookout for a new addition to his sleeve.
- Slip and slide!!!! The people want to splash around in speedos with Dean Josef Sorett. Slipping and sliding through the study rooms of the Social Work Library is on everyone’s bucket list. So you use your study room reservation wisely and make it happen.
