Overcrowding has always been a big issue in T.C. Williams, but most of us have actually gotten used to it. We have all experienced problems with it, such as: slowly trudging down one stairwell during the fire drills, accidentally body-slamming someone in the hall or awkwardly stepping on the back of people’s shoes.

TC is a place for academic scholars, and a key part of being a scholar is studying. There are tons of places to study at TC that you would never think of. The following are five unique places in Alexandria that will improve your study habits and productivity.

You CAN and WILL be together forever, but it takes hard work, strategy, and (my personal favorite) manipulation. This is how to trap a guy in 5 days.
