Frustrated, frantic and desperate, you are about to end your search for a decent study space on campus. Library West is at capacity. Marston Science Library is so full that the fire marshall would faint at the sight of it. Students are packed in like sardines. The sleep-deprived, zombie-like crowd smells strongly of fatigue and caffeine. The line for Starbucks stretches far into the distance, over the horizon and into the sunset. Several students give up hope and pitch tents for the night, huddle around campfires and roast weenies under the Marston French Fries. You still have one last spot to check: Newell Hall. You jog down the steps and past the Hub. Racing toward the doors, you fling them open and enter.

You are the envy of the entire lecture hall. Among hundreds of frantic faces bubbling silently with No. 2 pencil, you are the first to make a loud and disruptive rustling of paper as you flip to page 2 of the midterm exam.

Three nights before, you sat yourself down in the library with a cup of coffee and started to read. You flipped through a phone book-sized chunk of your textbook, highlighting, making concept charts and doing the practice problems. You ignored Snapchat. You shunned text messages. You slipped emails, dodged phone calls and ducked under Canvas notifications for the next two days. It seems you snatched victory from the jaws of unpreparedness and laziness. Who needs lectures anyway?
