Perhaps there should be a transition stage from college to the working world. They don't take naps in the office. They also don't hang out on benches with frat boys after lunch.

So I made it through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and half of Friday. Then it was time for escapism. Well you see, at my internship office, there is a library devoted to journalism and southern books. Alone. And this beats the bench tradition hands down.

If you have a hankering for art history, Architectural Digest or Southern Accents, throw this one in the stack next time you spend two hours at Barnes and Noble.
