As we enter the horrors that are Week Five, it’s almost inevitable that most of us will be more closely acquainted with the beauty that is the Sidgwick Site, more than ever before. Each library there functions like a Room of Requirement, meeting different needs like when you desperately need to lock in, or when you’re in for more of a beanbag study session. But no matter which library you pick, it can say a myriad of things about you…

If you picked mostly A: Squire Law Library

OK, we know that you think you’re superior in every way with your fancy library, but must it be that whenever a non-law student walks in it feels like walking into the lion’s den? The library is clinical and harsh, perfectly reflecting the terror that seems to be not getting a training contract. You seriously lock in whenever you study, fighting off hangovers with ease, while doing absurd 12-hour days with no signs of showing weakness. Honestly, it’s applaudable, but also terrifying.

If you picked mostly B: English Faculty Library

You should never judge a book by its cover, and this is relatable to both you and the English Faculty Library. You may seem unfriendly, but once you bravely enter, you’re welcomed with a warm surprise. You have a soft ambiance, and a space for everyone in your heart/library, including those who want cushions or beanbags.

If you picked mostly C: MML Library

The MML library is renowned for its sociable and welcoming vibe – who doesn’t love a good “Tea at Three”? If you love to gaze across the glorious Sidgwick site while putting off this week’s work, then this library is perfect for you, because of its array of seats lined up with perfect views. The library, and you, are wholesome, loving a good comfy armchair to study in, or even a break with a colouring book.

If you picked mostly D: Marshall Economics Library 

You love to say that you have so much work to do and that you’re swamped, but then the study session begins and you’re seen yapping, trekking to the Buttery, and doing anything you can to avoid some actual productivity. You may think that the nooks and crannies of the Marshall allow hiding spots so you don’t have to face the fact that your procrastination is ruling you, but honestly, everyone can see it. And let’s not act like you doing a 8.30am-9pm day was 11.5 hours of productivity. It was probably more like four.
