The 10 Students You See During Finals Week
Holistic Vanity

Finals Week. The most bittersweet week of the school year. You are almost free for the summer, but you are still trapped at college. Just one thing stands in your way; finals. Some people have six, some people have none. Everyone hates them. This week, you will see students you might not usually see. During finals week, everyone's true colors as a student really show through. Whether its in the library, dining hall, or in your exam room, you are sure to see some interesting behavior. Here is a list of ten people you will definitely see during your finals week.

1. The Over Achiever

They probably started studying two weeks in advance for each final. This student won't be helping anyone else study, because they also want to get the best grade in the whole class. She probably also babysits her professor's kids and comes early to every class to chat. Don't even try to mess with her.

2. The One Cramming The Morning Of The Test

They are just now realizing how big of a mistake this was. They probably procrastinated all the way up to this point, and now they have a final in two hours and know nothing. They might be crying, they might be having a breakdown; but at least they are studying.

3. The "I Haven't Slept in 48 Hours" Student

Back to back finals, six tests to study for; sleep is for the weak during finals week. This student looks completely drained and lifeless. You can bet they will be sleeping for about 15 hours straight once this week is over.

4. The One Who You Didn't Know Was In Your Class

They may have been there during syllabus week. Maybe they attended once or twice since, or not at all. They show up for the final, and no one knows who they are. They will probably be sitting all the way in the back, because they really don't want to be there.

5. The Student Who Totally Doesn't Care

Why do you even go here? If you don't try on your finals, then why bother taking the class? This student probably sits in the back and texts during every class, if they even show up. They are likely friends with the student you didn't know was in your class.

6. The One With No Finals

The one everyone is jealous of. No finals means they can move out early and get a head start on summer. Actually, you probably won't see them during finals week. They are already gone, basking in the glory of being done early.

7. The One Who Is Living On Coffee

They are probably friends with the student who hasn't slept in 48 hours. Lattes, espresso shots, cappuccinos, iced coffee, black coffee-you name it, they're drinking it. Coffee is pumping through their veins at this point in the semester. Anything to stay awake and focused.

8. The Student Who Just Wants To Pass

They didn't try all that hard this semester, and they still won't. They don't need to go above and beyond, just make the grade. They have calculated their grade down to the decimals. They know that they need a 88.68% on the final to get a 79.8% in the class. And they won't study to get anything above that 88%.

9. The Negative One

This student will probably do better than most, but is still convinced they will fail. They are over-studying, and getting kind of annoying. No matter how much they study, you will never convince them they will pass.

10. The Stressed To The Max Student

This is all of us. Between tests, moving out, final projects, and life, we barely have time to think. Our stress levels are at an all time high, and we are on the verge of breakdown. At least this means the end of the semester is near!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
