Now that exams are around the corner and tempers are flaring, students are on the lookout to study uninterrupted. Yours truly, comes to the rescue! Hopefully...
First, studying should be done alone, or with just ONE or two others. The concept of group studying is pure, unadulterated NONSENSE. Gossip will creep in inevitably, which pretty much kills the studying mood.
Your room is the ultimate HAVEN for studying, because
a) It’s yours;
b) It’s always open;
c) And you can listen to music, read aloud, and walk around at your free will.
But, there are complications too. There’s an inviting bed a few feet away, and studying does make one sleepy. Also, with no one monitor, you may not study very well. Distractions are plenty, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to name a few.
Alternatively, you can study in the reading rooms or libraries with the disadvantage of creepy people staring non-stop or observing each and every movement you make. One loud sound and you receive venomous glares from near and far. You have to stay glued noiselessly to your seat or else it’s gone in a jiffy.
However, libraries do have their benefits. You can refer to countless books and clear your doubts because the brainy ones are bound to be there. Furthermore, seeing students feverishly studying induces you with a spurt of enthusiasm combines with a sprinkling of deep-rooted fear to crack those notes!
For nature lovers, the serene setting of Yunnan Garden is also a viable option. Sprawling and peaceful as it is, you can study undisturbed to your heart’s content. Beware of insects and creepy crawlies, though.
The benches in the spines are frequented by loads of students as well. During exam time, it is indeed difficult to find an unoccupied bench. It is a refreshing experience to study on these benches through the night and watch a beautiful sunrise the next morning.
Student lounges and canteen tables are among other options for some serious studying, not during meal times obviously. But try not to hog tables, it is extremely inconsiderate.
So get going, dig out those lecture notes and slides, take a deep breath, and start! It is that time of the year when we must tell our frolicking souls to settle down, and STUDY... or else!!! And though we would much rather it was abolished from our school calendar, till wishes really do turn into horses, find your own little corner and MUG HARD, NTU!
