Finals week changes people...

The 6 Types of People You Meet During Finals Week
Programming Librarian

Ah, Finals week. The time of year that makes students, no matter their major, cringe in their comfy dorm beds. Where coffee becomes the desired beverage, the hours of sleep a night dwindles down, and the library becomes the most popular place on campus. Finals week brings out a whole new side of your fellow students. Here are the six types of students you meet during finals week!


1. The Stressers

These are the people who you see in the Library two weeks before finals week, getting a head start before anyone else on studying for finals. They can recite everything they learned in the semester forwards and backward, and still stress about failing their finals.


2. The Deniers

Everybody has a little bit of the denier personality in them. Especially in the beginning when Finals week is looming right around the corner. They're the students who are most likely to deny how much work they need to put into studying for their finals, but are then quick to calculate what grade they need to make on the final in order to get an A in the class.


3. The Procrastinators

While their roommates and their friends are spending time in the library, panicking and studying for their finals...you can find these students doing the complete opposite. Most of them are probably sleeping in their bed, taking multiple naps, or maybe they're just binge-watching netflix as their study materials are sitting on their desk.

4. The Caffeine Addicts

They practically bleed coffee. You'll always find them in the library or in a classroom with a large coffee in their hand. And if they're not there, then you can check the nearest Starbucks or Dunkin'. It makes you wonder how they managed to look so composed when they've consumed an inhumane amount of coffee.

5. The Optimists

The people who, no matter how much stress they're under, always seem to be in the best mood. It's always a good idea to be around these types of students, especially during finals week because they can help prevent you from going into a complete downward spiral.

6. The Underachievers

They say they're going to study, but most of the time they tend to just watch Netflix and do other things, not really managing to do a lot of work. Sometimes, though, these tend to be the students who manage to get good grades on their finals, no matter the amount of work they put into it. But the other half of the time, well...you can figure it out.

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.

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.

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.
