Library Etiquette

1. Do bring snacks to share with everyone around you as long as it isn't a banana or corn nuts. Because those things smell. And are sick.
2. Don't turn your ear phones up super loud, especially if you're listening to Your Body is a Wonderland (by John Mayer) on repeat.
3. Do sit at least one cubicle away from your neighbor, if at all possible, to avoid potentially awkward eye contact.
4. Don't leave creepy notes on the laptop of another person in hopes of getting a date when they leave to get a drink from the water fountain.
5. Do wear smelly good stuff because everybody's nose works eleven times better when it's silent and they've been studying chemistry for five hours straight.
6. Don't go to the library if you don't actually have anything to study. Everybody notices and then proceeds to send you telepathic hate messages because they have 3 more papers to write and a test to take before curfew.
7. Don't talk painfully loudly about how you can't get a date, or about how that guy hasn't called you back, or about how you can't believe you're not married yet because chances are, after 3 minutes of hearing that everyone around you will be able to answer those questions for you.
8. Do sit near someone who is attractive. It might be harder to focus at first, but they do provide some nice eye candy for those essential half-time study breaks.
9. Don't chew gum and pop it over and over and over and over and over and over because if you do, I will (or somebody equally as muscular) pop you.... in the face.
10. Do smile at everybody that looks entirely too stressed. You never know whose day you could be making :)
