11 People You Meet During Finals Week

Finals week tends to bring out the worst in people. The lack of sleep, addition of caffeine, and adrenaline make people question their sanity. It is the most brutal week of the entire semester. These are just a few of the people you will meet during finals week.

1. "The Caffeine Addict."

This college student has been gearing up for the last few weeks of classes and finals. They have the ability to consume a pot of coffee by themselves.

2. "The Stress Eater."

This college student relies on the really good french fries in the cafeteria or the millions of the boxes of mac and cheese that are in their room to help with the stress and anxiety of finals week.

3. "The Library Hermit."

This college student practically lives in the library buried under papers and books. You usually find them at a single desk in the corner of the library freaking out about their five exams.

4. "The Night Owl."

This college student willingly stays up until four in the morning to ensure they know everything for their finals and then sleeps all day.

5. "The Procrastinator."

This college student does everything in their power not to study for their finals. Too tired, guess it's time for a nap. New episode of their favorite show put online, gotta watch that.

6. "The Sand Man."

The college student is so tired they have the ability to fall asleep anywhere. It doesn't matter if it's in the cafeteria while eating dinner, studying in the library, or in the shower.

7. "The Mad Scientist."

This college student is a science major. You question their sanity after looking at the entire white board they have filled with their practice problems. To you it looks like hieroglyphics.

8. "The Crier."

This college student has multiple breakdowns through out the day. This is their cathartic way of working through the stress and anxiety.

9. "The Tasmanian Devil."

This college student is the one that loses their mind. Everyone is genuinely concerned for their well-being, yet no one knows how to help them.

10. "The Walking Dead."

This college student is questioned about how they are functioning. They have pulled about five all-nighters and everyone wants to know how they haven't died yet.

11. "The Mom."

This college student has all the supplies. They have all the snacks, water bottles, and tissues to pass out to help everyone conquer through.

Though finals week is tough, somehow you get through! Keep on pushing through, summer is almost here.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
