9 Things You'll Definitely See In The Library This Finals Season

You might end up sitting on the floor in a corner, but hey, at least you’ll find a seat, right?

It's final season, and we all know what that means. From hours upon dreaded hours spent in the library, to the few precious hours of sleep we only hope to get, it's about the furthest it gets from the "most wonderful time of the year." So whether you're in the library right now, or about to head back to study some more, here are just a few thing's you'll definitely see there during this "wonderful" time of year.

1. The same person for days in a row.

Have they still not left the library? Have you still not left the library? You honestly don’t remember, and odds are they don’t either.

2. People sleeping.

People will be drooling on the floor. Book bags will suddenly become pillows. You’ll look over to ask your study buddies a question, and catch them mid-yawn. What are finals really if there’s not a little sleep deprivation involved?

3. Coffee, coffee everywhere.

The trashcans will be filled to the brim with coffee cups. Every person you pass by will probably be coming back from buying a cup. It’ll be in the air, it’ll be everywhere.

4. Tears.

The struggle is real during finals season, and no struggle is complete without a few tears. While you probably feel like crying your eyes out, have faith, you can succeed. Besides, a few tears never hurt anyone (at least that's what I keep telling myself).

5. People standing outside on the phone.

9 times out of 10 (and I know this from personal experience), they’re on the phones with their mom. Whether they’re contemplating dropping out, or just ready to come home, sometimes Mom is the only answer to that Chemistry question you’ve been working on for the last hour.

6. The sweet sight of success.

Either they finally got the right answer to that Calculus problem, or they finished that 10 page paper they’ve been working on for the last week. In either case, that beautiful moment after you finally succeed is probably the most joy you’ll feel all week.

7. Empty Vending Machines.

You haven’t eaten since lunch, and it’s currently going on 1 o’clock in the morning. You grab a dollar and head to the vending machines, only to find it completely wiped out. It really does feel like the world is working against you.

8. Not a single empty seat (in the entire building).

There are literally people everywhere. You’re actually tripping over people just trying to find a seat. You might end up sitting on the floor in a corner, but hey, at least you’ll find a seat, right?

9. The end of finals week.

If you stay there long enough (even though you really probably shouldn't), you will see the end of finals week. Less and less people fill the library, you leave yourself to take your last exam, and before you even know it, the week will be over. Hold on, have faith, and believe in yourself because you can beat finals week.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
