We’re nearing the end! To all the freshmen who think time has gone by way too fast for their first semester, finals are fast approaching to make them change that belief, with large deadlines sneaking up on us all for projects we should’ve started a long time ago. For all but the after-education students, classes will officially be ending on December 8th.
If you are, like me, a chronic procrastinator, the library team will be presenting a great opportunity to get a few extra hours of work in this week. Presenting the Long Night Against Procrastination, an event that keeps the library open after-hours and gives students a chance to spend time with their peers on campus on what is the most crowded night of the semester.
During the event, students will have a chance to take advantage of the many different opportunities given by the library, including free food, therapy dogs, and a safe escort to walk students back to their destination, which would be limited to the nearest bus stop. The event will begin on November 22nd at 5:15 with a concert at the music library, and end at 2 am with the library’s closing. The event will take place in the BU library and the Indigenous People’s Center.
Special highlights of the event include: extended hours on the numerous library services offered, such as bookable group study rooms, research help and an open circulation desk. Students are encouraged to participate in the door prizes offered at the event for the chance to win one of many gift hampers offered. Free beverages and snacks will be offered throughout the event, with pizza being offered at 10 pm, and cookies being offered at 12 am. For those in need of a study break, a Photo Booth will be available through the night. Other activities for students will include therapy dogs from 10 pm to 12 am, and beading from 10 to 11 pm.
