Heller Lounge
Heller Lounge.


When I have a break between classes, I love going to Heller Lounge in the MLK Jr. Student Union to read. It's quiet and comfortable, the staff is nice, and it's a great place for power naps.

During finals, it's eye opening to see students filling every corner of the library stacks till 4am, some of them crashed out and others in a blank haze. Ironically enough... that's now me.

Air Bears made it really convenient for me to use my laptop on campus, especially in places where there are no computers around.
