The 5 Different Types Of Students During Finals Week

1. The Perfect Student who claims they’re not an “overachiever”

This student started studying for finals Halloween weekend. Their color coded notecards and beautifully highlighted textbooks make those who are just beginning to get their lives together nauseous. They have notes on top of notes, and even have time to re-listen to the hours of lecture they have recorded on their phone. They sit calmly in the library, looking put together with their Starbucks coffee as they skim over the material they’ve been studying for weeks.

2. The “I don’t know anything but I still get all A's” student

We all know that person who walks into the exam acting like they don’t know anything and then comes out with a 90 anyway. This student spends more time walking around the library from table to table complaining to other students in their classes that they don’t know anything than they do actually actively studying the material.

3. The “this is my first time in the library all semester” student

This student has no idea how to use the library computers or printers, takes the spot you like to sit at everyday at that specific time, and doesn’t understand proper library etiquette. You can tell they’re a rookie by the Ding! from their phone when they receive a text. They ask questions like “what floor is the quiet floor,” or “where is the bathroom?” This student is usually not there for longer than a few hours, then he/she retreat to their room due to the anxiety and stress levels in the library atmosphere.

4. The “my life is over, I'm going to fail and I’m a mess” student

Usually a frequent flyer in the library, but just can’t seem to catch up like the over achiever. Usually seen with a 24 ounce coffee, hair in shambles with sweatpants on. Notes are spread with different classes mixed in, and they tend to be in a general state of panic. Really just doesn’t know where to start studying, and as they spill their coffee on their books they just can’t get out of their own way.

5. The “I’m not studying and I don’t care” student

There are two types of people like this: students who genuinely don’t care and don’t understand why everyone is so uptight about finals, and the fakers. Those who pretend not to care but that look of exhaustion on their face and 4.0 GPA says differently. “I’m not even worried about this exam it’s going to be so easy, who cares if it is a semester worth of material” they say to the girl sitting next to them having a mental breakdown.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
