party alcove

The "alcove" or "Party Alcove" or "the Cove" made my last week at Mizzou very memorable.

Imagine a study room where anything goes, except putting your feet on the table and sitting atop the ledge overlooking a 2 story drop into the lobby. All your favorite people are there studying/procrastinating/napping together. Copious amounts of coffee and junk food. Comfy computer chairs stolen from the computer desk. Sounds kind of like a commune. I know, right? We held down this area for about a week and a half. We took shifts rotating between holding it down and probably everyone stayed there for at least 12 hours once. We, as in 12-15 of my friends, all kept this alcove on lock down and had it reserved. We even made fake signs for when the fort could not be held down stating this alcove was "reserved." Man, I miss that place.

One day, we came to the alcove and found this in the morning:

Awesome.
