5 Types Of Students At The Library During Finals Week
That Cozy Book Nook

Ah, it is that time of year again. A time filled with holiday spirit, Christmas lights, and hot chocolate drinking fun.

That is, if you aren't a college student.

If you are a college student, the Christmas spirit probably hasn't hit you just yet. You are a little more focused on making it through these last two weeks alive.

Students get a big dose of anxiety, coffee drinks sell like crazy, and the library becomes the campus hot spot.

With students flocking to one general area, comes a great deal of people watching (in between my study sessions, of course, mom.)

Here are the five different types of people you are likely to see during finals week at the library:

1. The Vagabond

Coming to the library is nothing new for this student. In fact, they have been coming every day this semester. The library is their turf, and this time of year annoys the heck out of them. This student is probably sitting at an area with an angry look on their face. Why? Because you have invaded their territory. Thou shall not enter, and all that jazz. If you are student 2-5, the vagabond probably hates you.

2. The First Timer

What is the library? There is a coffee shop in here? Which floor is the quiet floor? After a semester of procrastination, this student has finally decided they want to pass their classes this semester. They haven't stepped foot in the library yet this year, or semester, and they are probably walking around aimlessly with a confused look on their face. Will they actually spend time studying? Probably not.

3. The Freshman

This student is probably frantically flipping through pages freaking out about finals. They are probably taking finals too seriously. They don't really know what to expect, and haven't yet developed adequate study skills. You will probably see them spread out around the library in groups. Don't worry kids, you will get through this.

4. The Over-Exaggerator

We get it, you have finals and projects due next week. Guess what? So do we. Tone it down a little, skipper.

5. The Procrastinator

We see you looking up pictures of cats, and watching YouTube videos. You aren't fooling anyone.

Which one are you?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
