“Dear Greg,
Are there any quiet areas on campus to study? Seriously, the student culture does not seem to like the idea or the concept of people studying in a quiet peaceful manner.”
-Matt
Matt, my boy, I hear you loud and clear; college would be great if it weren’t for all these people here. Fortunately Delta has plenty of places where you can get away, breathe and take selfies without feeling self-conscious.
When you’re stressed about homework and stuck at Delta for hours at a time, the last thing you want is to sit in front of a crowd of strangers. Even worse you might know some of these people! Nothing is worse than running into Jimmy Whogivesacrap from high school reminiscing about the good old days with the tractors and the drinking.
I know you asked me to tell you my spots, but those are my spots not yours. You can’t have them. If everybody knew where all the really good spots were they wouldn’t be as good, so I’ll tell you some okay spots to study and you’re going to like it.
First and foremost let’s talk about the F-wing; we really don’t deserve a wing that nice and eventually students are going to prove it. But let’s dig it while it lasts. The student lounge is classy and the Atrium really does a good job of making leaves interesting.
It doesn’t matter if you never take a class there; they aren’t going to kick you out. I’ve been spending the majority of my time in the F-Wing, and besides I have a theory that Health Science students are naturally beautiful people.
Libraries are usually loud and distracting, and the tension of looking past a computer to someone can be too much to bear. If you can look past the clutter of people, and accept that you actually want to spend time in a library there are actually some interesting places to chill.
Far in the back left corner are quiet study areas where few ever travel. In the library you’ll find peace amongst the books and the constant buzzing of fluorescent lights will drive you to slowly hate reading and literature, just like our Congress!
But maybe you’re not a book guy, maybe you appreciate the finest thing in life: amateur student art! Nothing is more stimulating than art, and the works of your fellow students will leave you with hundreds of questions most of them starting with “Why?”
Located in the S-wing, take a walk up the stairs to the second floor for some peace and quiet.
You never know when an existential crisis can hit, so it’s important to find your own safe place to hide. Meditation, critical thinking and Trivia Crack are all important parts of the process of maturing into a successful student-adult.
But eventually people will find these places, and they will be ruined forever like Greece and Vegas. So instead of following the trends make your own.
There’s a beautiful service elevator located in shipping and receiving, that I’m sure faculty would love for students to study on. Elevators are crazy guys, what floor am I on? What is my purpose? All will be answered on an elevator.
If that doesn’t work, you can always go join the trolls who gather underneath the S-wing Bridge. Providing twister, tutoring, and sacrificial livestock to the old gods. The trolls are Delta’s best kept secret!
