How to Make College Students Look Like Cattle

Warning: The following is a rant about my first day back to campus after an extended vacation across continental Europe. This scene was witnessed outside of the Boole Library and no actual cattle were harmed in the process.

Step 1: Make sure spring break is five months long, and extends from the day classes end to the first day of finals. This way students will feel especially anxious just before finals.

Step 2: Have the day before finals start be a public holiday--a bank holiday is especially helpful.

Step 3: Due to the bank holiday, make sure the campus library doesn't open until 10:00 am.

Step 4: DO NOT open the library doors, until precisely 10:00 am. I repeat, DO NOT open the library doors even if there are over 100 students waiting outside the doors.

Step 5: Make sure your library is equipped with the following: scanners that you must scan your id card across every time upon entering the library, only 3 scanners, and not enough seats for every student planning to study.

Step 6: Make sure that no other place on campus is open.
