It is impossible for me to do school assignments at home since it's a place where I can do nothing but just hang out and relax. So, my solution during my years here at U of T has been to just spend most of my day on campus and do pretty much all of my coursework while I'm here.\n\nWith courses really starting to pick up the pace this week, I thought that I might share some of the spots that I enjoy doing readings and assignments at during gaps in my schedule.\n\nYou can check out all of the mentioned places on the campus map at <a href=\"http:\/\/map.utoronto.ca\">map.utoronto.ca<\/a>.\n\n<strong>The Buttery (Gerald Larking Building, Trinity College)<\/strong>\n\nThis spot has a really cool, cafe-style setting with a healthy dose of background noise (I find this particularly comfortable when I'm working on assignments, for some reason).\n\nYou can buy pizza, baked goods, and drinks here, so it's a good place to have some lunch too.\n\nWith the cozy little sofas they've got here, this is a spot that I especially gravitate towards during the winter months.\n\n<strong>Hart House Reading Room<\/strong>\n\nSure, spending long days at school can mean lots of chances to study, but it can also mean lots of chances to catch some zzz's.\n\nAt the Hart House reading room, there are plenty of long, padded benches (sort of like couches) which are perfect for a quick power nap.\n\nIt's not super quiet, though, as there can be a low-medium amount of background noise. Depending on the person, this can either make it easier or impossible to sleep.\n\n<strong>Terrence Donnelly Centre (Lobby)<\/strong>\n\nThis gem\u00a0of a study spot is where I go when I'm feeling a bit sluggish and need to get energized. The atmosphere is SUPER zen here, with tons of greenery surrounding simple wooden benches.\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094142.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-35603\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094142-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094142-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094142-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094142-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094151.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-35606\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094151-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Image of bench surrounded by greenery \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094151-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094151-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094151-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094153.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-35607\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094153-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094153-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094153-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_20180920_094153-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\nIt's also my personal favourite place to hang out before an exam, considering how close it is to the Exam Centre and how it has an aura about that eases my nerves.\n\n<em>What are your favourite places to study on campus?<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nSo, I have this problem.
