so im sat here

[Zeldy]

and ive been sat here for about 9 hours now. 2 cans of energy drink down, my caffeine fueled sociological epiphany has run dry. I just opened my last packet of fruit pastels and they burst everywhere so I'm surrounded by pastels on the floor.

So tell me EoFF; what's the longest you've lived in the University (College, for you yanks) library in order to get work in? I forsee a few more painstaking hours.

If anyone's interested, I'm attempting to explain the correlation between rates of violence and the social construction of masculinity.

I went to my uni library once a year, and spent at most 30 minutes in there at a time. I was the best student.

[Quindiana Jones]

Somewhere between 15 and 20 hours.

[Zeldy]

The longest for me personally, was once I stayed like 2am in the 24-hour building here. I was incredibly wired on pro-plus and energy drinks, had a blistering headache as a result, but soldiered on. It got down to just myself and one other guy, and I couldn't let him win. When he finally logged off his computer and left, I joyfully left. Everywhere was closed, so I had to scale the back fence in order to get home.

Once spent about 20 hours in cardiff uni library. it was really peaceful and beat doing work in my dorm

recently i was at home doing a last minute coursework. gave up at 3am, napped, caught a 5am train for my two hour commute, then drank a troutload of coffee and energy drinks from 2am to the 3pm deadline. got the work in tho, and even got a good grade. almost died tho

It's 10pm here and I've finally come home, essay completed 2,480 words or so. I plan to return tomorrow at about 7am to commence essay number two, which will see me explain how people use social networking sites in order to portray a new sense of identity. I'm down for an 8 hour shift too, which no one can cover unfortunately. Ive then got a 6,000 word portfolio (which, luckily, im half way through) on sexuality to complete by 4pm Monday, as is the other. I need to sort my life out..

[Shlup]

I think I walked through my college library once. I did all my schoolwork from home.

[Pike]

You know it's been so long since I've been in school that I honestly can't remember.

I mean, there were times when I was on campus from 8am through 10pm, but it wasn't always straight studying.

I do recall a couple of days where I had senior projects going on from morning until like 3am. So maybe that.

[Trumpet Thief]

Probably 5/6 hours? I had a really huge gap between a morning class and an evening class, so I decided to stay on campus a few times.

Aside from that, I prefer studying at home. Even when I'm study with someone else, it doesn't usually last longer than 3/4 hours.

[fire_of_avalon]

I worked in the library as well as studied there so I know I was somedays for 15 or so hours. Never stayed all night long, though.

[Jiro]

I once took a nap in our library.

[Shorty]

I went to my high school library to sleep in the giant beanbags. Never did any studying, though.

[I Took the Red Pill]

About 20 hours at the end of the semester. I had a Cryptography class in which I had a final paper due, a take-home final to finish, and an in-class final the next day to study for. I did it all at the last minute, and with no sleep rolled into the in-class final. It was my own fault for procrastinating. Those were greasy, stubble-filled times. I think I drank enough coffee to raise the GDP of Colombia by 1% that night.

[Jinx]

Never, because I don't need to study.

I start school in 9 days, though, so we'll see what happens then.

[Hollycat]

UNT had a library?
