It's a never-ending battle for Texas State students this time of year. They're supposed to be studying, BUT the outdoors is calling their name. In this Bobcat Update, Ana Anguiano tells us how some people cope with this dilemma.

With beautiful, spring weather in our midst and summer quickly approaching, some Texas State students are finding it hard to stay focused on their school work. So how can students remain dedicated to their studies while still being able to enjoy the spring weather?
Senior Tiffany Herrera says there's an answer.
SB: "Do a little bit of both, Study while your outside."
SLAC Lab Assistant Demetrial Graham says there's nothing wrong with studying outside--if you have a plan.
SB: "Basically, organization is key. If you're going to be outside for two to three hours, then the same two to three hours make sure you put it into your studies."
General Studies senior Malorie Kohutek says studying time indoors all the time makes it harder to attend class.
SB: "Yea, I feel like if you spend all your time in the library that maybe you would want to skip on pretty days."
But studying outside isn't helpful to everyone.
SB: "I think there are more distractions while you're outside and so it makes it a little harder especially if you're laying out by the water and you want to get in the water, but you have your school stuff."
For senior Pier Angelo Pacini, studying outside is more beneficial.
SB: "It's actually quieter. Because if you're inside the library on the quiet floor you'll still hear people whispering and the little ambient noises out here actually help you calm down and help you not think about anything else that's going on."
Stand-Up: "While there are some mixed opinions on whether studying outside is beneficial, there is one opinion that almost everyone can agree on: this spring weather is something to be enjoyed. For Bobcat Update, I'm Ana Anguiano."
