    A word of advice for new college students

    If you're attending college for the first time, I'm very happy that you're beginning your long journey of knowledge and education; however, when you're in the library, please do me one favor if you're visiting your friends from school. Please, for the love of God, learn how to...
    Shut the FUCK UP!

    I usually prefer studying at home, but since I usually have 2-3 classes on Monday, I have to put myself in the library they provided for the school. Nobody fucking cares about your Instagram. Nobody fucking cares about your Facebook statuses and how many likes you get on a daily basis. Nobody fucking cares if you're trying to get into Youtube videos. This isn't a place to pick up girls either. It's a place to study. And for fucks sake, if you get a phone call, GO AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE! It amazes me how many people at this campus have no common courtesy.

    This has been a public service announcement from Mahou. Thanks.

          Funny story, I once had to ask a guy to not use his blender in the library, for the sake of the other students.

              I'm still waiting for this to happen so I can elbow that person in the mouth.

                      How big is your library?

                      When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

                          See, in my library, telling people to STFU is impossible sometimes because they're a bunch of kids that are only there to fuck around (Also location).

                          We have a rule saying to STFU, but we sort of don't enforce it unless someone is really being an obnoxious douchebag and or a patron comes up to one of us and complains about someone in particular.

                          Yoooooo, if you legit need to study in the library, tell the librarian and or whoever monitors the lab. It's part of their job description to keep the library in check! Also, try to find study spaces. We got a bunch of spaces in my library where there's a desk but nothing else around but books (to guarantee at least very minimal voices).

                              At my university there's a long-held tradition during reading week called the "naked donut run"

                              It's exactly what you expect.

                              Naked people run through the libraries handing out free donuts to students that are studying.

                              They're not the kind of people you want to see naked.

                              The donuts are good though.

                                  Also the school band likes to play in the libraries.


                                  This was during reading period a few years ago. The band tried to bring some festive cheer to the computer lab before finals (also right before Christmas) and...

                                      Wow, and your university hasn't gotten written up for that? lmao that's pretty amazing.

                                      My library doesn't really have any events like that. We do have a small cafe shop near the entrance though which I guess is something that makes my library unique.

                                      You can imagine that's the only part of the library that gets really loud. Fortunately there's a giant glass door and wall that blocks all the noise from them.

                                          Also, it RARELY happens, but if there's truly no place in my library that has a quiet spot for the person wanting to have some peace, I will suggest going to the third floor since we have way more private desks up there and a room that's meant to just be nothing but doing homework/studying.

                                              Well, it's pretty tame compared to the things we do actually get written up for.

                                                  That's still nuts though, heh.

                                                  I wonder how the workers feel about a god damn band playing in their library though, haha.

                                                  I bet they feel like crud because they can't do anything since it was probably approved by the dean.

                                                      As a High School Student, the only reason to go to the library is to skip study or skip a class with a clueless teacher and fuck around. Nobody ever checks books out, and we tend to type shit at home.

                                                      Don't think anyone would use a blender though.

                                                          My universities library is divided into three floors. The first two, it's ok to talk and stuff in a typical indoor voice. The third floor however is our "quiet floor" which is typically dead silent most of the time except for an occasional whisper. For the most part, people respect the quiet floor's rule on being quiet, so I have no complaints.
