The 21 Stages of Hunger During a Late Night Library Study Session

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at SLU chapter.

Every college students has probably been through this struggle. You eat dinner, go to the library and an hour in, you are already hungry again, but you can’t leave because you don’t want to lose your precious table.

Here are those stages of hunger as told by the hottest man alive and based on my true story.

Arrive at the library

You get there with so much motivation and a full stomach.

You find the perfect table

You are lucky enough to find the table right by the window with the comfy chairs open and you feel like everything is right in the world.

Playlist and social media time

Before you can start studying, you need to get a good playlist going and catch up on your social media. Duh. Priorities.

Alright, time to study

30 minutes in and it’s time to download the study guide.

You need a study break

The study guide is too long, you were so productive downloading it so you reward yourself by reading some kickass food blogs.

Okay, back to studying

After a short self-pep talk, you don’t know if you should laugh or cry.

Are you bored or hungry?

You can’t seem to concentrate and all you can think of is food, so you try to distract yourself.

You should just go to bed

You start thinking that coming to the library is never a good idea and you are just hungry and miserable so might as well call it quits.

You should’ve brought more snacks

You remember you took some dining hall goods, so you eat them in seconds.

You can’t concentrate, your stomach is too loud

Those snacks were not enough. Is it normal to be hungry 100% of the time?

Text your friends

Anyone wanna order food with me? Pretty please.

Send a massive Snapchat asking for food

You decide to send a ridiculously ugly picture, showing a triple chin because at this point nothing matters and you caption it “someone please save me.”

You see other people in the library eating

Oh, the smells. Would it be weird if I ask them for some food? They have an entire bag of chips, they should share the love.

You see some acquaintances

Some people you aren’t really friends with offer you some weird healthy snack.

Your friends decide to join you in the library

And they show up with no food #rude.

You go to the library’s café

You’re too late and it’s closed because why would it be open late at night when people are actually in the library?

You give up

Pizza > an A in class. C’s get degrees anyways, right?

Your friends decided they are also hungry

Just when you start packing your bag, your friends decide they’re also hungry.

The negotiation begins

They say no to pizza, but maybe Insomnia Cookies.

You check the time again

You’ve been in the library for 3 hours and you are so proud of yourself for trying so hard.

Time to leave

You and your friends agree on ice cream because 3 hours is enough. It’s time to go eat dinner 2.0. Peace out, library world.
