First off, wow! This semester is going by way too fast! It seems like I was preparing for my first round of midterms last week, and now I\u2019ve started preparations for round two (and already had another midterm on Monday). Since I\u2019m taking three science classes, I\u2019ve been spending a LOT of time studying. The Main Library is great, but there are always tons of people there, and I find it hard to focus sometimes, so I\u2019ve been testing out some different, quieter study spots around campus. I stumbled upon Art Building West during one of my summer classes this year, and this is hands-down my favorite study spot on campus. The building houses the university\u2019s Art Library, which has lovely views of the pond below. The Art Library is always quiet, and it usually isn\u2019t too hard to find a table, especially later in the evening. It\u2019s a little out of the way, but the walk isn\u2019t bad in the type of weather we\u2019ve been having lately, and there are a few Cambus routes that run by the building. Though I don\u2019t always enjoy studying, I do enjoy getting to spend my time in such a beautiful building, and I guess I really can\u2019t complain about that!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
