As you walk through the doors of the library you are immediately greeted with a wide staircase being used by students. To the right, there are restrooms and elevators. As the elevator begins to close, a girl with a blue Georgia state shirt and black Nike shorts rushes to catch the elevator. Her black backpack, which is the size of her entire upper body, gets caught between the double doors. To the left side of the first floor of the library, you find a small coffee shop called Saxby’s in which students come in and out, some with coffee or pastries. Towards the back are booths occupied by groups of students. These booths are lined up in rows. Behind the booths are various tables available for anyone to sit.

The various tables and computers are there to help students throughout their college years. The tables and booths are there for students who travel in packs. This gives them a better opportunity for them to interact with school, life, etc. The coffee shop inside the library fuels the student’s energy, it’s there to provide them with drinks and food. The computers and printers located beside the staircase are there for quick and fast access for students. Students who are in a rush to get to class and need something to be printed go straight towards these computers and printers.

The people who occupy these objects are mostly students who come in determined to get things done. A tall skinny boy with jet-black hair goes straight to one of the printing sections. He rushes towards the only empty computer left before another student occupies it. His long fingers type away as he tries to print what he needs. Near the coffee shop, a short girl with long brown hair leaves Saxby’s with a cup in her hand. As she walks out she brings the cup of coffee to her lips, before she drinks it she closes her eyes and inhales the scent. In one of the booths a group of five guy friends occupy the space. Their laughs fill the quiet library as a girl who sits at a computer across them narrows her eyes at them giving them a mean look. All these students who occupy the library move around like ants.

The library is filled with many unique people; it’s like a melting pot. It ranges from Hispanics, African Americans, and many others. Some might also be professors, student workers, or just students. All these people who come to the library are there for various reasons. Some students come to refuel their body with caffeine to try to keep awake during their classes. Others come to get away from the chaos that awaits outside the library.
