Outdoor studying is not the scholar way

Natural selection is coming after the ones who study outside.

First and foremost these people are putting themselves at risk of contracting malaria, west nile virus, chikungunya, and encephalitis/encephalomyelitis.

Does the reader know what encephalitis does? It inflames the brain, how can one study when one’s brain is swelling?

As industry continues to take over south LA and the gateway cities, pollution is being leaked into the air, water, and soil.

Areas that are within a five mile radius of a major freeway are at special risk; Cerritos College is within spitting distance of two.

If one studies outside, one is not only putting themselves of danger of chronic brain swelling viruses, but also cancer and malignant skin conditions.

Some have asserted that being in the not so great outdoors alleviates a number of symptoms common among people who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

What do college students have Adderall for?

Definitely not to party while studying.

Another so-called benefit of studying while exposed to the savage elements is the notion that the body will absorb vitamin D.

Vitamin D soft gels are eight dollars. You can buy them on eBay so that you don’t have to leave the comfort of your dark and safe room.

There will be no wifi in the outside. One should not have to waste their precious data to snap their friends to tell them that they are getting rekt while reading Charles Dickens in the park.

How will society survive if all the Facebook posts such as “bored” and akin suddenly disappeared?

It makes much more sense to stay inside where there are electronic devices readily available, with plug in outlets and wifi.

Yet another mundane argument in support of outside scholasticism is the evolutionary trait of biophilia, an affinity for being around living things.

This argument can be easily rebutted by reminding one that the human being is in fact a living thing.

If going outside works for some people they should do it.

But if one who’s looking for the secret to scholastic success reads an article saying that being on one side of a door as opposed to the other assists in learning, and one bases all their hopes of good grades simply on the fact that they sat under a tree while studying, what’s the point of studying at all?
