Pet Peeves of People Who Study in Public Places

Studying at home every night can tend to get boring for most Academy girls. A common trend among students is visiting local coffee shops, libraries, or bookstores to complete homework. It is an easy way to work on groups projects, or simply just a change of scenery. However, girls who regularly study at public places tend to have very specific pet peeves about what goes on at their favorite locations.

1. Forgetting headphones at home

2. Having all the booths taken at Panera

3. All the outlets are being used and your computer is at 5%

4. People who scream across the room

Senior Lara Lontoc explains “I go to this Asian tea lounge and there is a quiet section. It is so annoying when people do not respect the sanctity of the quiet section.”

5. Having your mom remind you of “your perfectly good desk at home”

6. When someone takes the seat you have sat in all year

Junior Mia Leto states, “Liz Benjamin and I go to the same Starbucks after school at least twice a week. It is the absolute worst when someone takes our corner table.”

7. When the employee starts cleaning right next to you

8. The barista decides to grind coffee beans for two hours

9. Trying to fit everything on the tiny desk

10. Not being able to connect to the wifi

11. Realizing you have spent all your money on coffee
