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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
