For me, being on the Burnaby campus inevitably means seeking out the quietest floors of the library. The satisfaction of finding a perfect, secluded desk with panels on three sides, nestled among rows of heavily loaded bookshelves, is unmatched. Pair that with a charging outlet and a birds-eye view out of public sight, and you’ve got the ideal spot — whether for a focused study session or a three-hour nap — whichever you choose.

This little corner is perfect in all kinds of weather. Picture a snowy winter morning with a cup of hot chocolate in the middle of January, a warm summer evening filled with sharing suppressed laughs through the bookshelves with your friends, or a rainy afternoon spent turning pages of a novel or buried within a mountain of schoolwork.

One can easily lose track of time here — sometimes gazing out the window to people watch, other times absorbed in silent study without any distractions or interruptions. It’s a versatile haven where you can focus, relax, daydream, or even catch up on some much-needed rest.

No matter the season or mood, this sanctuary on campus is always there, ready to offer a slice of calm amid the chaos of life.

One person claiming to work with AI also noted grainy textures, which they believe are synonymous with AI usage. According to Capitol Technology University, AI usage signs in art involve small inconsistencies such as extra fingers or distortions.  “If they commissioned an alum or current student, the artist would be pretty consistent in their character design. Artists don’t usually change up their character...
