How to live in Wells Library for the rest of the semester without getting caught<\/strong><\/p>\n So, you finally got kicked out of your apartment because allegedly \u201crunning an unlicensed PetSmart out of your living room\u201d is a violation of the lease (even though it didn\u2019t say ANYTHING about that when you signed).<\/p>\n But either way, you need a new place.<\/p>\n Since no place in Bloomington is taking new renters until August it looks like I\u2026 I mean YOU will have to get pretty creative since you\u2019re in such a pickle.<\/p>\n And what better place to crash than Wells library. On-campus location, spacious open concept, and in-house chefs right downstairs.<\/p>\n Here are some tips and tricks (that I definitely don\u2019t need) to live in Wells for the rest of the semester without getting caught.<\/p>\n Sleeping Quarters:<\/strong> But there is a simple solution: invest in some extra backpacks, set them in different chairs, and tell anyone who questions you that your friends are just grabbing some food and will be back shortly.<\/p>\n Side note: The backpacks also work great as makeshift dressers to store your clothes in!<\/p>\n Hygiene:<\/strong> In order to not get caught you\u2019re going to have to be subtle. That means no walking back to your \u201croom\u201d in your towel after your weekly water fountain and wet wipe shower.<\/p>\n Having a mailing address:<\/strong> The only solution is to use the book return box as your personal mailbox and take advantage of your job in the library (you have a job in the library btw) to catch all of your packages.<\/p>\n Having company over \ud83d\ude09 :<\/strong> Is being the guy who\u2019s so hardworking he just happens to spend all of his time in the library a turn off? Yes — but it\u2019s a little less weird than the first thing.<\/p>\n However, if lying isn\u2019t really your style, you could always skate around this with the classic \u201cI basically live here.\u201d She\u2019ll think its sarcastic, and only you will know it\u2019s a cry for help.<\/p>\n If she\u2019s blind to all of your red flags and says she wants to go back to your place, don\u2019t panic — you can still save this. Tell her you can\u2019t wait and want to be spontaneous, then take her to an abandoned floor in the East tower behind one of the bookshelves. She won\u2019t be able to stop thinking about how romantic the moment is, and you won\u2019t be able to stop thinking about how this actually worked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Jimmy Christmas 2\/6\/2020 How to live in Wells Library for the rest of the semester without getting caught So, you finally got kicked out of your apartment because allegedly […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","has_thumb"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sleep-libary.jpg?fit=275%2C183&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7b5Hd-p6","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":536,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2016\/12\/16\/overworked-freshmen-inquire-about-housing-in-wells\/","url_meta":{"origin":1556,"position":0},"title":"Overworked Freshmen Inquire about Housing in Wells","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"December 16, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"By: Robben DeCash and Skell Eaton Following their first experience with the stressful nature of college finals, numerous freshmen have begun inquiring about taking up residency in the glass study rooms in Wells Library. \u201cHonestly, I\u2019m just trying to be proactive about this,\u201d freshman Pierre Winchester told reporters during a\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Local"","block_context":{"text":"Local","link":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/category\/local\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/WellsHousing2.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/WellsHousing2.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/WellsHousing2.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/WellsHousing2.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/WellsHousing2.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":928,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2017\/11\/30\/prohibition-of-greek-life-social-events-leads-to-opening-of-speakeasy-in-wells-stacks\/","url_meta":{"origin":1556,"position":1},"title":"Prohibition of Greek Life Social Events Leads to Opening of Speakeasy in Wells Stacks","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"November 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"By: Sutton Lee Seymour and Jonathan Pollock BOOMINGTON, IN - In light of the recent Interfraternity Council\u2019s prohibition of social events and alcohol circulation among Greek houses, dissatisfied members have\u00a0opened a 1920s-style speakeasy on the Wells library eighth-floor stacks.

\nThe clear answer? A group study room for your bedroom needs. Unfortunately, this can only get you so far since an actual group may work up the courage to kick out the guy alone in the study room.<\/p>\n
\nBrushing your teeth in the bathroom sink, changing into clean clothes in the stall every few days, and hiding emergency stashes of deodorant around the west tower is obvious — but this next part is tricky.<\/p>\n
\nAfter spending all your money on decoy backpacks, you can\u2019t afford a P.O. box.<\/p>\n
\nIs being the weird guy living in the library a turn off? Yes.<\/p>\n
