When I was in college, it was difficult working in my shared dorm room. I had two other roommates in a dorm that was only slightly larger than my bedroom at my parents’ house. Even when they didn’t have friends over, someone was always listening to music, talking, or making some kind of distracting disruption. The buildings that housed our dormitories had study rooms inside the ground floor that were always accessible to students no matter what hour of the day. Unfortunately, the study rooms were often filled with students struggling with the same problem as I was. This is when I started taking my bike and riding across campus to the school library. I could find a table in the back corner upstairs where I was away from other students and free from noise of all kinds. The only unfortunate aspect about working in the library every day was the temperature inside. Even during hot summer days, I had to bring a sweater with me whenever I studied in the library. They kept the air conditioner low to prevent mold growth in the priceless books they have from across the decades of the school’s 60-year existence. Although I appreciated that the school was focused on protecting the indoor air at the library, I still struggled to stay comfortable some evenings when the temperature outside was already cold to begin with. When you’re borderline motionless for hours at a time, it’s harder to stay warm. Being cold in a quiet and air conditioned library was much better than struggling to work in a shared dorm room with two other students within spitting distance from my desk.
