Between sexilement, popcorn-related fire alarms, last-minute papers, lost keys, and simply not being able to find your way back home, there are many reasons you might not get your recommended 6 to 8 hours of sleep during your time at Colgate. If Deathwish coffee just doesn’t cut it for you anymore, you might need to revert to your old kindergartener ways. The Monthly Rag is here to give you the inside scoop on the best places to nap on campus.
#4- Peace and Conflict Lounge, Alumni Hall, Second Floor.
While it might look remarkably similar to the free couch on the side of the road, the orange sofa in the PCON lounge will gently cradle you and pull you in, like the promise of a free tee-shirt for declaring your major. It’s the perfect place to go to blissfully forget you didn’t even study for that midterm. Be careful not to directly challenge any of the PCON students if they already have a claim to the couch, as they study conflict all day and will not fight fair.
#3- Booth, Donovan’s Pub*
Take advantage of the fact that one of the three dining options available to students is barely ever open for business. Occasionally you may have to jimmy open the lock on the door to enter, in which case the entrance to the pub nearest the bathrooms usually provides the least difficulty. Once inside, you are practically assured privacy for a nice long nap.
#2- Lounge, Chapel Basement
If you weren’t already aware of this option you’re likely a heathen, but then again, so are many of us who attend the school with the motto “God and Truth.” If you do not burst into flames upon entry to the building, make your way to the basement, find an empty spot on the usually well-occupied set of couches, curl up, and let yourself be possessed with the most wonderful blessing a student can ask for: sleep.
#1- Raab House, President’s Residence*
Ever wish you could be just like President Casey? Well you can’t, but you can sleep like him. Much like Donovan’s Pub, this may require some finesse. The best option here is to ensure that President Casey is out walking his dog or in his office at 301 James B. Colgate Hall. This is likely the only way most of us will ever have the chance to sleep like a President.
