“work”

So it’s Thursday night and for those of us spending all night with our papers/problem sets instead of going out, demand for study spaces is high. You know the deal. We can all share Firestone, but only until 11:45. Then there’s Frist or Lewis, but only until 2:00. There are only so many places with comfy seats, good lighting and easy caffeine access. Our choices narrow. Wu and Whitman get crowded. Tensions rise and as Friday morning deadlines draw closer, we all get a little aggressive …

Example? Check out the territoriality at J-Street Library tonight:

Yeah. Back off.

Yeah. Back off.

Princeton kids are nice, we promise! I mean, sometimes you’ve just got to do what you’ve got to do.

To all those pulling all-nighters right now, GODSPEED. Remember there’s still coffee at Studio ‘34 until 3:30 a.m., and then there’s always the Wa.

Now get back to work.

Thanks to Jeffrey Chen ‘13 for the picture.

…guess you’ll need a plan for after graduation!

An option to consider:

There’s also a law school version, if you’re so inclined.

P.S. For those of a creative bent, this site is great for making videos out of awkward e-mails from your professors.

P.P.S. Especially if they’re a little ESL…

So you’re planning on surviving midterms…

We do a lot of work here at Princeton. Probably didn’t have to remind you.

And yes, folks, Monday is the beginning of midterms, that most bitter of weeks when we hunker down and churn out page after page, pull all-nighters and give ourselves caffeine-induced heart arrhythmia, and have those long awkward silences in precept because, seriously, who would do the reading.

That’s why we here at The Ink want to help you out. We know what you’re going through, and we want to make you feel better, or at least less insane.

So we’re hosting a contest! You tell us how much work you have this upcoming week (in terms of numbers of pages, problem sets, and midterm exams), and the person with the crappiest week gets a shiny prize.

Oh, and you get massive bragging rights, of course. Because what do Princetonians love more than saying they have more work than one another?

The rules: Post everything you’ve got to do for midterm week in the comments below, or send an email to theinktips@gmail.com. (Be sure to detail how many pages you have to write, problem sets to solve, and midterms to take! And if you win, you have to prove it to us, so no funny business.) We’ll post the winners at the end of midterm week.

(Also, don’t have a mental breakdown before it’s over.)
