Finals week is coming and it is coming fast. Stress takes over the masses and everyone seems to head straight for the library, some possibly for the first time all semester. Take a break and look around to see if you can spot any of these people--if you can't find one of them, maybe it's you!
The Napper
This person looks like they gave those biology notes a valiant effort for about 47 seconds, now they are passed out on the table with a gentle snore. You never know whether to wake these people or just let them nap because they obviously need it.
The Binge-Watcher
This person has their notes spread out from one side of the table to the other, their highlighter is open, and their stack of note cards is halfway finished. They have been staring intently at their computer screen for hours, but they’re not studying, they’re watching Grey’s Anatomy.
The Zombie
This person hasn't showed any sign of life in hours. Their blank stares and inability to move either shows how physically exhausted they are or that they are emotionally done and ready for a much needed Christmas break.
The Caffeine Junkie
This person hasn’t slept in 76 hours and is still going strong--as long as you don’t remind them. You have yet to see this person without a coffee in their hand and, if you pay close enough attention, you can see their eyes twitch just a little bit.
The Procrastinator
This person does everything that they can in the time leading up to the final. Everything, that is, except study. These people either productively procrastinate, by Christmas shopping or doing some much needed cleaning in the dorm, or spend their reading day playing "Call of Duty" and napping.
The Talker
This person is usually really close to you in the library, or is so loud that they seem to be right next to you. They may attempt to whisper, but it's to no avail. These people cannot stand silence and will not let you hear the end of whatever they are talking about this time.
The Social Media Addict
This person is always “studying” and they let you know it by the seven Snapchat selfies, three Twitter complaints, and two “finals week” articles shared on Facebook. I bet if you were to take away their phone that they would still find a way to constantly update everyone on the struggles of finals week.
The Bottomless Pit
Yes, I agree, comfort food is a wonderful thing and it definitely helps people get though a stressful situation, but this person just seems to never stop eating. You can hear it and it’s loud. You would think that a sandwich, a bag of chips, a fruit cup, a bagel, and two candy bars would be enough for someone that can't weigh any more than 120lbs, but this person manages to prove you wrong.
The Tutor
Every class has that one person who seems to know everything. This person is always swarmed with people asking questions that they are afraid to ask their professors. This person usually already knows every bit of information from the class, so each question is like a mini-quiz for review.
The Cl-opener
This person is at the library from sun up to long after sundown. The second that the library opens, they are walking in and heading to their favorite seat, from which they will not budge until the library closes again, just to head back the next morning. These people repeat this whenever possible, usually hoping that the incredible amounts of study time will help them get through this week.
