Common Room #3

And its back people, its back in all of its glory, the common room all nighters, a dream come true to many, and a waste of time for others. However, the fact that you are working together with such a large number of desperate people who are at any point in time, doing their best to survive the onslaught coming at them at an incredible pace.

The brother hood that grows from this, the energy that stems from working with others, under such conditions, it is something to be pleased with and simply amazing. I have never been able to keep my focus on something for more then a couple of hours, yet here, in this room. I am capable to working non stop for hour on end, be able to keep it going.

Last year, we were few, this year.

Many have flocked to the banner, many will keep coming. I have been here at 4 am, and there were people, I was here at 8am and more were trickling in. At 10am it was close to packed, at 12 you were hard pressed to find a seat. Its 1am and still seats are rare to find.

This special thing that the common room gives us, is not the ability to work together, or put us in a quite place were we can all work together and tackle our problem together.

No, quite the opposite, we have socialized studying, we have created a place, were we can bitch about how much we have to study to each other. In doing so, we make some of our closest friends, new and old people. You find out about the new side to a lot of people, and get to know difference in how people think and act.

This is the Common room,

this is my life for the next month.
