I'm studying in the library, which is a very rare thing for me. I only resort to the library when everywhere else has failed me. Home is too distracting because of the tempation to eat and nap and watch tv. Starbucks has been too cold and too tempting to drink too many sugary holiday drinks. Barnes and Noble doesn't have enough laptop plugs. Panera Bread tempts me to buy food instead of finishing off stuff at home. Basically I'm restless and tired of my normal studying haunts.
So I'm at the library.
Which was going perfectly well for a while. I had a table to myself, a nice view of some fall trees, and a quiet atmosphere.
Enter the crunchers. A bunch of 2Ls who brought a can of candied popcorn. Don't they know that studying is not a party? Then this guy sat down at my table. He's one of those people who feels the need to thrash around when he turns pages. I really don't understand that. Then he went to get crackers (hello, Mr. Cruncher) and a coke. Now he's making caffeine burpy noises, which I have to assume he doesn't know other people can hear. Its just gross.
This is why I avoid the library.
A girl just came in with a can of pringles. I can't make this stuff up.

Spending a couple bucks on some good earplugs will probably solve your problem. Those are the help of the serious studier.
My fav one EVER is when a guy came in, sat in the cube next to me, and started chewing and spitting tobacco in a water bottle. I was so grossed out, I HAD to get up and find a new floor...GAG ME!
P.S. Today is my last final, probably the worst final I've ever had in the amounts of info I'm supposed to know and the idea of taking said final makes me nauseas a yet, I'm still trying to find a way to avoid my last minute studying...I think I need professional help.
P.S. This is Tara, if you didn't already know that :-)
I hate loud eaters as well and our library is full of them. So i moved to another study area and apparently so did the guy who likes to rip pages out of his binder loudly, awesome.
