Yeah! How dare LSU actually use some of its money to do something that will make students happy!
Is that why we’re going to college now?
Frick me sideways.

when it's crunch time at work do you think your boss is going to call a time out, break out some snacks, maybe pull out some coloring books?
Ever hear of a fricking break room?

Are you going to be chilling in the break room when you have a 4PM deadline and it’s 1PM?

Depending on my progress on the given task, maybe. That's my prerogative. Point is, it's not like people don't take breaks or do things to relax in the real world. People getting in a tizzy over this are probably just unhappy with their position in life or professionally

If you need to relax, you can’t take a 5 minute walk to the Union?
I don’t see people getting in a tizzy...I see people calling this what it is. Ridiculous.

They have to do something to replace the smoking spots that they took away.

Yes. You thought it was to make students miserable?

Go to Middleton
Buy $6 mochassippi
Take out laptop, 3 textbooks and half assed written notes
Get on TD for 30 minutes
Study 20 minutes
Pack all shite up and leave, convincing yourself you’ll “really buckle down hard tomorrow, you have plenty of time”
Go to bar, get drunk
Convince yourself you’re too hungover to study, you have plenty of time
Repeat
Become scaffold builder for Brand and convince yourself $15.00 hour is good enough money to buy a lift kit for the 2003 F250 that you only have 54 more payments on.

So the issue is that these resources are physically located at the library?

great Way to learn how to adult. “Are you stressed out Timmy? Here. Here’s a lil Debbie and a puppy to take a nap with. When you get up you just go on over to glory hole and get your little pecker slobbed. You’re a great guy, Timmy!”

Of course.
This is like deciding to put a foosball table in the main meeting room at my office as opposed to the break room.
No one would care if you put a relaxation room in the Union or at the REC or handed out free popcorn and hot chocolate.

I think this weak arse analogy shows just how silly the notion is that college is supposed to directly reflect the real world. Nevertheless, If the kid spends too much time dicking off with puppies and eating snack his grades will suffer. Just like if I spend too much time dicking off on TD and the internet at work my work will suffer.

My point is that if LSU stops wasting money from bottom to top, the yearly budget crying, wringing of hands, and the visits to the pit of misery can cease. I get it that this is a drop in the bucket.

Yeah, fire him. The Dean of Coddling and Everybody Gets a Trophy can do both jobs. They are there to prepare young men and women for the workplace. Concentrate on that.
Run it like a business and quit wasting money and watch the budget woes go away. The solution is not always to throw more money at a problem.

Care to explain how it’s a weak analogy?

Speaking of weak analogies...
The difference here is that your employer isn’t purposely introducing distractions to impede your work. Middleton library is.

Ooh, so much relaxing fun in the union! I can visit THE CAREER CENTER! Or maybe check out the leasing center for the new Nicholson Gateway apartments! Then, I can visit UPS before waiting in a 30 minute line for Chik-fil-a! Then, I can visit the Tigercard office to put $50 on my card for printing and visit the Cox solutions store to find out how I can add Encore to my plan for just $8/month (but not if I live on campus). Finally, I can sit in a lounge chair and watch ESPN First Take muted while the screeching sound of McDonalds and Einstein Bros espresso machines grind coffee beans into oblivion!
So much fun stuff at the union!
It's not like back in the day. There are no pool tables, no arcade, no beer, no bowling alley, no movie theater. It's just a food court and some student government meeting rooms now. You want relaxation? Try the BARBER SHOP! Oh wait, THAT'S CLOSED TOO! Even the book store is across the street for Pete's sake!

Gotta admit, I haven’t been on campus in years so I wasn’t aware of that.
So they remove all the relaxing stuff from the Union, which causes problems (predictably), and the solution is to put relaxing stuff in the...library?

Yeah, for like 2 days out of the entire year. I mean, the students are already there, so why not? Plus, the dogs are usually outside of the library by those crate-myrtle trees, not roaming the stacks.

If I was visiting campuses and I was on LSU's campus and saw what the university offers to it's students during a stressful period of their life.. I might actually consider going there.

Not surprised. LSU has been turning into snowflake U for awhile now.

Yes. It is so critical and existentially crucial to my life that I’m posting on an anonymous message board about it.
Does it really bother you that I have an opinion that differs from yours?
