The 5 Types Of People During Finals

It's that time of the year again, our favorite time, the time we all look forward to... FINALS.

After a whole semester of slaving over projects, essays, presentations and even group assignments, the time in which we are tested for everything we have learned so far is finally here. Like everything else, people are different in any situation. During finals there's usually a total of five different people. Here's a little description of each.


1. The overachiever: This is the person we all admire because of their endless hard work. They actually go to the library, study for endless hours, know how to take the perfect amount of coffee to be able to stay up and seem to be professionals at this 'finals' thing. However, they probably had a successful semester all along, so you know their hard work is going to be all worth it.

2. The slacker: This is the person that claims to be going to the library to study but actually spends their time fooling around or finding something to distract themselves away from anything but their study material. They also spend endless hours at the library but don't manage to study much, however. They tell everyone they're stressed and working their hardest, but whenever you seem them, they're on social media, texting or making a phone call to their best friend back home.

3. The nagger: This is the person that spends an entire month saying they have so much to do but never do it. They complain that their classes were too hard, that their professors were unfair or even that they don't have time for studying sessions. These are the people we all do not want to be around because we all know negative energy is bound to be absorbed.

4. The careless: This is the person we're all still surprised on why they're still even going to college. They never do their work, never study and everyone wonders why they haven't been kicked out of school yet. While everyone is studying, they're sleeping. It's finals week but they're still inviting everyone on their contacts list to go out drinking even during the week day. You can't even imagine how bad their grades are suffering but they don't really have any kind of hope anymore, other than to just wait for the consequences.

5. The lucky one: This is the person we all wish we could be. You've seen them pop open their book maybe twice this semester but for some reason they're always caught up on their work, it's like if they're naturally really smart. They do everything last minute, never proof read, never study, but their scores on everything are great. Now for finals all they have to do is rest up early. They'll get their tests and magically know everything on them. How? These are the questions we all want answered.


Whether you're the slacker or overachiever, remember these finals may make or break you. Best of luck to every person out in this world and may death week not eat us all alive. We can do this. So work to the best of your ability. Best of luck to you all.

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.
