Do people actually Study?

I see a total of five people at my current location which is at a study area that is used by many students. A man in his 20’s is in the computer area and is currently on Facebook, while his son, whom is sitting next to him, is playing a monster truck racing game. Both are wearing similar clothing a baseball cap with shorts and t-shirts. The father is browsing some woman’s profile. A couple is sitting next to a coffee table and the girlfriend is chatting to her boyfriend, while he checks his phone when she is talking. Meanwhile, people that walk down the strip near the study are always looking down at their shoes when they pass by for some reason. Both the man and his girlfriend have been on their phone for a total of 5 minutes. The father mentioned earlier is looking at a different woman’s pictures and the son is still playing the racing that he playing before. Back to the walking strip out of the total seven people that look up above their shoulders none of them have been men. Meanwhile, the couple is joking around one with one another and the girl is touching her boyfriends arm and smiling at him. A young man probably in his early twenties comes in and starts sitting next to me and starts studying for a math course, while doing so he starts blasting his music and some people stare at him at first then resume what they were doing before. The couple starts holding hands and leaves the site. The father is checking out a different woman’s profile on Facebook, his son on the other hand is playing the same video game. A new couple has arrived and have gotten on the NMSU computers. The man is currently having trouble logging into canvas and has called NMSU, even though he used is password and username to log into the computer.Everyone has been doing the same task for the past 15 mins and the man that tried log in is still having issues signing in and I have left the site.
