Spoiler Alert: You need to do better
Every year as the semester starts to get real and panic begins to set in, study room bookings spike. Law students rush to book study rooms, strategically maximizing their two booking limit, and coordinating with their comrades. Whether it be to fool themselves into thinking they’re studying, a totally not last-minute coffee chat, a salacious tea-filled session, a solid crash-out, or the rare lock-in, peak study room season is not too far away. Lots of vital considerations are at play with study rooms—which room to pick, who to trust with the privilege of sharing the room, and most of all—what to name it.
Well, as an experienced upper year, I’m here to tell you that yes, your booking name matters. It is a direct reflection of your capabilities. You can be lame and put your initials, or you can choose to be more. To do more. To unlock your true potential.
For the past month, I’ve been noting your names. And now, it is time to reward those who have brought me joy.
- After Party at Dennings
An original name, creative, and law-related. 10/10. Plus, with the number of bookings you’ve had, you’re either super locked-in or consistently locked-out. Either way, I’m here for it.
- PoG
CLASSIC. My number two may not be your number two, but too bad because this is my list. A constitutional slay.
- OCI don’t want to // OCI would never
Great puns. Really see what you did there. Even though there were two separate rooms with this name, I’m still going to count you as original. It’s punny, it’s insightful, it’s emotional, it’s raw. Amazing work. Keep it up. Can’t wait to see your in-firm renditions.
- We are slaying inshallah
Inshallah you will slay. I support your manifestation. I didn’t see you reappear either so I’m assuming you did slay. Great work.
- Multiple Tortfeasors
I love me a good law pun. But I hated torts. Maybe you could have been higher but trauma won instead.
- Name ur rooms better
I agree. Thank you for saying what needed to be said. But, given that it was surrounded by initial bookings, I’m disappointed it wasn’t heard.
- ahHHHHHHHhh
Relatable. To the point. Enough said.
- REFLECT
Love the intent. Really pushing yourself to get in there and get things done. However, the aggression also tells me that you may have some trouble reflecting. Let’s reflect on that.
- Working!
Maybe REFLECT should learn from you. This feels like someone who is happy and has their life together. Your inspirational tone is what got you onto this list. I’ve already lost all my light, so thank you for keeping yours shining. Keep it up.

You made it here less because I liked you and more because I was intrigued. Who? What? Why? And you had multiple bookings so you’re real committed. So many questions.
In comparison to previous years, our room bookings are really quite lacking. I really had to scrounge for even these names. I urge you to take this article as a sign to be more creative. The reason you’re booking your room isn’t always fun, but that doesn’t mean the name can’t be. Bring joy to our collective suffering. Do better. Until next time, I’ll be watching.
