This semester, I am taking 18 semester hours, and it can be a lot. Part of this busy schedule also means I have classes all day, and a lot of them have weird 1-hour or 40-minute time gaps in between, where it really isn’t enough time to go back to my dorm. So, I wanted to share some places I like to go while trying to pass my time!<\/p>\r\n
First is the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU). I go here Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after my 8:30 am Chemistry lecture. I love the IMU because I can get some Starbucks and breakfast, since I usually do not wake up early enough to eat before lecture! There are plenty of seating areas on every floor, and I find the main floor has the comfiest chairs and is generally very quiet if I want to get some work done!<\/p>\r\n
Second is the Pappajohn Business Building (PBB). I love the PBB because it is in the center of campus and has lots of seating areas. It also has a lot of windows with really good views of campus, or even a cafe if I need a snack!<\/p>\r\n
Coffee shops are also a favorite of mine! My top three are Le Crave, Java House, and Cortado, which are all right on Clinton street close to campus. Everyone knows a fun drink keeps you focused, so these are some perfect places to enjoy a coffee and get some work done!<\/p>\r\n
Lastly, I love sitting outside at the benches and tables outside the chemistry building. Again, it is pretty much in the middle of campus, which is convenient. Once it gets warm again, I can’t wait to be able to relax and do work outside!<\/p>\r\n
Busy class schedules can be complicated and feel like a lot, but finding places to relax and get a little work done has made my day feel faster and less stressful! That’s all for now!<\/p>\r\n
