The exams are a struggle for the finish line. And just like Lance Armstrong conquered, all doped-up, the mountain Alpe D’Huez in just over 37 minutes, some insomniac students overdose themselves with energy drinks in an attempt to pass an exam with an increased caffeine level.

I astonish myself, since I’m also addicted to this postponed, productive feeling and adhere this examination exhibition full of book fetishism and coffee obesity. Like a band of brothers, all these postpone maniacs studied in ‘De Hal’ (building ‘The Hall’).

My dear Hal, I envy the time we spent together. You were the ugly duckling, standing in the shadow of Vertigo, but you comforted our examination suffering. You were also packed, but remained silent. You placed us face-to-face, but our lips remained sealed. But now you’re sealed, and we’re condemned to study in market MetaForum unfortunately, since it doesn’t match your serenity.

Flocking folks and laughing librarians interrupt my sacred studying. The sound-amplifying humongous holes enable me to enjoy the conversations held three floors up. Further, the spacious design has also eliminated the cozy study environment. Since nobody gives me a foul look when I cough too blatantly or my cell phone vibrated, I think MetaForum lacks proper peer pressure.

What can we do about it? Postponing students cannot be educated, so have it their way and furnish a cozy study area. Forget about design chairs, we need a small room with a bunch of tables and even more chairs, in order to create a dense studying environment which breathes peer pressure. Nobody will attempt to check Facebook or 9GAG.
