Front Room is a place that I find
myself spending much of my time during the week here in Athens. This
comfortable little room has just the right environment for those who look to
enjoy a coffee with friends or sit and cram for their next final. The room is
full of tables and chairs meeting both the needs to sprawl out their notebooks
or to simply just sit and chat in a nice cushioned chair. There is no doubt
that the Front Room made sure this it was both comfortable and quite to
bring in students every day.
The
front room normally attracts students who are interested in studying or getting
an assignment done but it also allows for a bit of conversation. Front room has
established an environment in which it is okay to talk and listen to your music
but with an overall volume that is sure not to disrupt others. For me the front
room is relaxing whenever I have a stressful assignment to complete it offers
both a place to work and coffee to fuel me throughout the day.
The
Front Room provides people with a plethora of things starting most notably with
coffee. As college students everyone is feeling the fatigue from the late nights
studying, to wild weekends out with friends. The Front Room however, also serves
a place for those who want the opportunity to perform in front of others. On
Friday nights the Front Room offers an open mike night, which I have attended
countless times. One of my closest friends has found his voice at open mike
night and gained newfound confidence in front of others as a result of Front Room.
The
Front Room overall is a great example of what Athens is. This friendly little
shop describes so much of what OU in Athens means. This shop is a place to meet, study,
and relax the perfect combination describing the life of your typical college
student. If ever a person is looking for a location to study for an exam or meet
for a casual conversation this shop accommodates at every level.
I like that you chose the Front Room, because it's somewhere that everyone has seen and has a connection to. My only suggestion is maybe trying to paint more of a picture of what the environment is like there. You did a good job of describing why people come in and what happens there, but it would be nice to also have a vivid description of what it looks and feels like. Describe the furniture, the fireplace, the music that's playing, that sort of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI also liked that you chose the Front room. Personally its a place I really enjoy to go when I need a pick me up and a nice place to relax and study. I do agree with Hannah that a little more description to the room would have really helped that reader imagine exactly what it looks like even if they have never been there before. I like how you said it is perfect for a college student because it truly is. Its quiet enough so you can study and get work done but it is also loud enough to hold a conversation and have a good time.
