What’s the best way to spend your study breaks?
Besides reading The Tab, of course
Midterms season is upon us, meaning exhaustion counteracted by extreme coffee consumption.
It’s seemingly a crime that we have exams on top of regular class attendance. But it can’t be all work and no play here at Mr Jefferson’s University.
We went around the libraries (mistakenly in jingly boots) to find out what are your favorite ways to take a step back from your studies.
Anna LeValley, third year, Alderman Cafe
“Talking to friends.”
Kevin Marshall, fourth year, Alderman 3rd floor Scholar’s lab

“I usually eat. I love Take It Away or salt and vinegar chips.”
Ashwin Murali, second year, Clemons fourth Floor
“I like to listen to music. I like hip-hop, rap, R&B…anything that really calms me down.”
