3.

Welcome, Unsuspecting Reader.



Firstly: Feet
Second: Unicorns
Thrid: This week's blog theme is "Surviving College."




If you are like most normal people, right about now school is sucking and you have nothing done and you can't study because you can't concentrate because you're on your period because you're human and because you're human you don't have anything done.
Instead of spending that precious money for doses of Adderall, find a quite place where you are comfortable, relaxed, and focused.
Contary to popular belief, places like this exist.


So for your personal use and pleasure, I am providing a list of numerous locations that are perfect for those intense study sessions and late night food cravings:


1. This one's pretty obvious: Scarborough-Phillips Library @ St. Edward's University
3001 South Congress Ave.
Austin, TX 78704
This two-story library is the perfect Nerd Haven. There are plenty of comfy chairs to sit on, plenty of secret spaces to study, Wi-Fi, and many familiar St. Edward's faces.
Plus, Meadows Coffeehouse is about 300 steps away to satisfy all of those late night caffiene cravings.


2. Garden District Coffe House
2810 South Congress Avenue
Austin, TX 78704
512.462.2473
This coffee house right across the street from St. Edward's University. There are plenty of tables to sit at and a variety of delicious food to order if you're hungry. Not to mention the endless amounts of coffee.


3.Green Muse Cafe
519 W. Oltorf
Austin, TX 78704
512.912.7789
Hours: Mon-Fri, 8am-Midnight; Sat-Sun, 9am-Midnight
This is actually my favorite place to study. The atmosphere is very laid back and mysterious, there's free Wi-Fi, lots of tables to sit at, you can smoke on the patio, and there are so many options of teas and drinks that a good portion of your time spent there will be deciding what to order.


4.Jo's Coffee Shop
1300 South Congress Ave.
Austin, TX 78704
512.444.3800
This hip, little shop is located in the heart of SoCo. Jo's has everything you need for a good study sesssion -coffee, good food, and free Wi-Fi. Plus, you get to sit outside and watch the cars and people go by. Oh yeah, your pets can chill and study with you.


5. Dominican Joe Coffee Shop
515 South Congress Ave.
Austin, TX 78704
Hours: 6:30am - Midnight (7am on the weekends)
The popularity of this coffee shop has grown since I first heard of it. Located at Congress and Riverside, there's a lot of parking and a lot places to sit, free Wi-Fi, laidback atmosphere, and of course: good coffee and pastries.


Studying has never been made this fun!!!
