The above quote is from Sarah E Meyer (Class of 1983). Read the full memory below:

A 25 year old memory that is as clear as if it were yesterday….I studied at the Rock most nights after dinner. I would sit at a carrell along the outer edge of 2nd or 3rd floor with a view back to the campus during day light hours and a view of myself and everyone near me at night when the windows turned into mirrors.

To set the scene: it’s after dinner, my stomach is full, my blood sugar plummeting and it’s the end of a long day. Inevitably, I would fall asleep a few pages into whatever text I was reading with the yellow highlighter marking the page. What was so funny (and a bit humiliating) about the experience is that with the reflective windows, both my nap and my return to consciousness was witnessed by fellow carrell users. As I resumed my studies on pages now soaked through with yellow highlighter ink and drool, I was greeted with applause by my audience who had watched it all in those damned reflective windows which spared no one!
