The most dreadful time of the year is upon most high school students: exams weeks. These grades either make or break your final scores, and there are a few people that you are bound to see. Here are 10 types of people you'll see during finals week.

1. The "A" Student

This person has been studying from day one. Day zero. Probably since they were born. Finals are in May? Pshhh — better start studying when school starts in August.

2. The All Nighter

This person waits till the last minute to study. Legitimately, the very last minute. So last minute that you'll probably see them starting to read the textbook as the teacher walks in to start the exam.

3. The Emotional Drainer

The emotional drainer is seen crying ages before examination day, just whining and crying about how they're going to fail the test. They're crying while studying. They're crying while in the bathroom. They're crying while entering the exam room. We understand that you're stressed, but just watching you cry is emotionally exhausting for us as well. So please go cry in private... otherwise, we'll start crying too.

4. The "Wait, what?"

This person is constantly asking other people questions, just confused about anything and everything that's gonna be on the test. The phrase "Wait, what?" is the easiest way to catch this person.

5. The Hermit

You won't see this person during the week of exams. If you do, they'll probably be buried under a mountain of papers and a pile of books. They're practically a hermit, barely eating or sleeping. The only thing they do is breathe and study.

6. The "I didn't do anything...."

"... but somehow I still manage to ace the test." The person is also considered a liar because let's be honest, there's no way you did not study for that history exam without even peeking at the review book.

7. The Giraffe

AKA the "I'm trying to cheat, but it's not working." By the time the person comes out of them exam room, their neck is longer than a giraffe's. From looking and stretching over to see their neighbor's paper, this person isn't very subtle when it comes to cheating.

8. The Sniffler

This person is seen in the exam room, during the actual test. Actually, this isn't a single person. It's more like half the room. All of a sudden half the testing room has been contaminated with bronchitis and the flu by just entering the room. Sniffling, coughing, sneezing. Tissues are piled on people's desks; test papers are covered in snot. Yuck!

9. The "I'm winging it"

This person simply does not care about exams. Either their grades can afford to fail, or they simply have given up in life. They can be seen everywhere that's considered fun because they're doing everything but studying.

10. The Calculator

The Calculator is usually everyone before exams — calculating last minute projects and tests before the exams begin so you can see what you can afford to get on the test. We've all done it before, just whipped out our calculator and started analyzing how low our grade can be on the final to still have a passing grade in the class.


So to everyone studying for finals....

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.
