Sometimes I get so sick of this campus! Don't get me wrong, I love it here. But living here, eating, here, hanging out here, going to class here, and studying here can be a bit much. Occasionally, I like to get away and take some of my homework or notes to study off-campus. It's a great way to get away and be able to focus, especially on weekends.
1. Barnes and Noble can be a great place to take a book to read for a class or some notes for a test. The atmosphere is usually pretty calm and quiet and there are some great comfortable chairs in the back. They are open until eleven on Monday through Friday so even weeknights are great to get away. Just kick up your feet and get to thinking.
2. Small, chill restaurants like San Fransisco Bread Company or Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Go in, grab a smoothie or sandwich to snack on and enjoy the sweet themed atmosphere. I like it especially during late afternoons. It isn't too busy and you don't feel boring white walls closing in on you after a while.
3. Craighead Forrest Park. I have a friend that does this every day. Find a couple of free hours and go sit outside in the wonderful weather this time of year. Grab a picnic table and dive into that homework without feeling overwhelmed with usual stuffy surrounding.
4. Craighead County, Jonesboro Library. Maybe you're one that needs to be in a confined study environment to get anything done. It may be a must to rid yourself of all distraction and just get the duty done. Well, the upside to the Jonesboro Library is that, unlike ASU's, it is not swarming with frantic college students at all hours, making it impossible to find any solitary area to study.
5. The Edge Coffee House. Oh this is my favorite! Walking distance from campus and a great place to relax. I just go here to be alone and get work done. It somehow takes the edge off of the tasks at hand. I recommend going, grabbing a cup of coffee, and hanging out for hours, either doing whatever studying you have to do or just spending some sweet time away from campus!
