Where do you study?
Studying at home can be difficult. Your bed is right there, all warm and inviting and ready to sleep in. The dog wants to go for a walk. You suddenly feel inspired to cook a gourmet meal for 5 when you have not cooked anything in the past 2 years. Basically, when you are at home, anything seems more appealing than doing homework.
So what are some good places to study? I find that I work more efficiently around others who are also engaged in studious activities. Get some friends together, and the first person to get all their homework done gets a free coffee from the group. Studying doesn't have to be lame.
I like to study at the coffee shop. Zotz is my personal favorite; its located on Oak street right past the Ra Shop. Check it out. This is the one coffee shop in New Orleans where I can walk in and grab a cup of regular coffee. Their dark roast is the best in the city. Don't forget to tip the barista; they make each and every cup with gothic love.
The interior of the Zotz is zany and artsy. Once a shotgun double, the building now houses mismatched furniture of all types. Employee drawings decorate the pastry case. One drawing proudly proclaims, "Ask for lemons, because by god, we got 'em!" Local art covers the walls, including photographs, oil paintings, and sculpture. Naked mannequins stare eerily from dark corners. There are dozens of lamps sitting around for customers to grab to illuminate their study materials. Chairs range from old rockers, grammar school chairs, to abandoned car seats. Each table has its own funky vibe.
What are some of your favorite places to study? Let me know.
