How to spend a day in the library and not do any work


Walk to uni slowly.


Go the union shop first to stock up on library food supplies (don’t underestimate this step, I would recommend it even if you don’t want to waste time).
Press every button in the lift to prolong the journey to silent study level 13.
Go to the toilet.
Take your time to choose a seat – do a couple of laps to assess if necessary.
Just trying to be quiet slows you down. Taking books and pens out of your bag silently should waste a few minutes.
OCD is important. Order your files and books in size order and line up any other stationary accordingly.
Go to the toilet.
Check your phone and reply to any texts/emails that you haven’t responded to yet.
Stare into space.
If you have twitter, check twitter and tweet something.
If you don’t have twitter, make a twitter account.
Reply to any texts you may have received.
Go to the toilet.
Update facebook status.
Congratulations! It’s break time. Go and get a cup of tea/coffee.
When you return, shuffle up books and pens. Then re-organise.
Organize your diary/phone calendar.
Play with some flash cards – make some origami/just pass notes.
Hurrah it’s lunch time!
Listen to music and pretend you’re starring in the music video.
Tweet something. Update facebook status. Send texts.
Write a blog.
Go to the toilet.
Walk round the library pretending to look for a book. Pick up a few and place on your table triumphantly.
Check phone.

Play hottie in the library (http://hottieinthelibrary.com/).
Stare into space.
Go to the toilet.
Look through every single photo on your phone and reminisce about the good old days.
Peruse the books you picked up.
Take them back.
Stare into space.
Tweet something. Text someone asking them to ring you.
Pack up your things.
When your phone rings, it looks like you are being forced to leave, preserving your credibility as an student.
