Alex is spotted walking up rue university toward Milton Gates at 9 p.m.. He is holding an extra large Tim Horton’s cup and a bag of timbits.

What it means: Alex has not started studying for his exam, and it is now the night before. Alex will be spending a long night in McLennan.

There’s one empty carrel on the 6th floor of McLennan. There’s a folder sitting on the desk of the carrel.

What it means: That seat is not for you, it’s for Sally’s friend, who won’t be here for another three hours. Try the 5th floor.

It’s a brisk October day, and every seat is filled in your recorded 500-person Political Science lecture.

What it means: You forget your midterm was today. Good luck!

A swarm of young students exits Leacock, most of which with samosa in hand.

Brian, a person from your Frosh group that you shared a few shots with on the bus to beach day, walking through the Y-Intersection.
