21 Things We’ve All Done In University Libraries

As annoying as university libraries were, the pandemic has us reminiscing. We don’t doubt that you have done AT LEAST one out of these 21 things in a university library:

1. Cried

A few of those desks have witnessed many tears.

2. Played video games

Yelling “TAKE COVER” while playing COD.

3. Slept

Tebrom w tesma3 7adan 3am b shankhir.

4. Gotten kicked out

You loved being the clown of the library.

5. Stared at people

“Ma ba3ref hayda shaklo pre-med”

6. Spied on the hottest people in there

“Ouuuf bshilo”

7. Pulled an all-nighter

Life sponsored by Latte Art.

8. Caught up on Netflix

Who cares about Econ 213? Time for some Peaky Blinders.

9. Fought over a power outlet

“Man, sm3ete shoo sar bi registrar lyom?”

12. Flirted with the person sitting beside you

“Wow, shaklak te3ben”

17. Caught up with friends you haven’t spoken to in two years

“Wow hi, kifa 3amtak Salma?”

At 9 PM when its empty, don’t deny it.

So many people booking chairs with their hoodies!

“Shoo hal riha?”

“Maba3ref”
