Exam season is upon many college and university students and the struggle to find a spot in the library is near impossible. To be honest, I'm not one to be able to stay for very long at the library, unless it's inside one of the study rooms which, unfortunately, have to be booked ahead of time. Here are a few spots that I have found some sort of peace of mind and actually got work done (save for that 1-hour break I give to myself because I think I deserve it). 1. Find another spot on campus!
The library isn't the only building on your campus, and I doubt it's the only place with outlets for you to charge your laptop. Get to know your campus and you'll be surprised to find the most unlikely of places to be your next study hot spot! 2. Stay home.
When final exams and final papers start to roll around, I find that I rarely ever leave the comforts of my room. This is largely due to the fact that I don't want to waste time having to travel to my favourite cafe or building on campus, so I adapt my surroundings to make studying in my room more appealing - otherwise, I'll just fall asleep (really). 3. A Cafe
I'm quite the Starbucks fanatic (GOLD CARD CLUB, HEEEEY!!), so I am naturally drawn to sit down at any Starbucks and set up camp for a few hours and occasionally order a drink or two as time passes. This is a little bit more of a pricey option, especially if you're a student on a tight budget. But it is something that I like doing every now and then, and it is my absolute favourite place to study. It doesn't have to be a Starbucks or any chain cafe for that matter - if you would prefer, go on and head to a local or lesser known cafe. I personally enjoy the ambiance of cafes - it's never too quite, but it's just relaxing and I'm not too easily distracted.

Of course, there are a ton of other places where you can sit down and get working. It all comes down to you and what you feel comfortable with.

Kim is a lover of books, music, and travel. Though she lacks any sort of proper funds to properly indulge in her favourite things, she makes do with her part time job as a retail sales associate while attending a post-secondary institution, attempting to move on to bigger, better things. The one thing she is able to fully indulge is her love of writing, the only expense being her need to write in a Moleskine notebook. She is under the impression that she is quite the individual, and she believes that she must share that with the rest of the world. She really is pretty damn awesome.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS BLOG?
The reason I started this blog was actually because I recently decided to revive my Kobo eReader and buy a couple of new eBooks. As well, I still have a massive pile of unread books sitting and waiting for me to finally crack them open. I also want somewhere to write about my feelings about the book. Unfortunately, I have few friends that share the same love of reading, and because of distance and insufficient time due to school, I can't exactly call up anyone and have a discussion about a book I just read. Thus, I turned to the good ol' interwebs to help me find a good release for my thoughts (take that as you will).
