While the onset of fall is exciting, midterms are definitely not! No matter where you go to school, chances are you're currently experiencing the dreaded period of long assignments, late nights at the library, and accompanying sleep deprivation. Sadly, this crazy amount of work means tons of added stress, which everyone deals with in different ways. Here are a few of the most common types of people you'll be sure to run into this midterm season:

1. The Study Buddy.

While some people prefer to focus on their own, this person flocks to the library with their entire posse in tow. They're typically the ones talking rather loudly about the upcoming exam (and anything else) while in the library. The social butterflies of the academic world.

2. The Carefree Student.

This person operates mainly on the principle of denial. While they may have four tests tomorrow, they're so relaxed, you'd never be able to tell! These people will be the ones out partying all night- and still somehow making it to the exam first thing in the morning.

3. The Stress-Eater.

These people are all about the snacking. They survive midterms solely by drowning their exam stress in as many pretzels, chips, and midnight splurges as they possibly can. Definitely the tastiest way to cope, if you ask me.

4. The Last-Minute Crammer.

If these people are experts at one thing, it's procrastination. They'll appear calm until the night before (or maybe even the morning of) their exam, and then kick it into high gear. Operating best under pressure, they always somehow master everything with zero time to spare.

5. The Crier.

You've probably already seen this type in action. They can be spotted anywhere on campus, engaged in a complete stress-induced breakdown. No shame, though, they typically push through and continue studying, despite the waterworks.

6. The Overachiever.

This person deals with the stress of midterms by rising to the occasion immediately. With two full weeks left until the exam date, they'll have all their materials organized, memorized, and color-coded. Pro Tip: while they can be overwhelming, you may want to befriend them for some study help

7. The Caffeine Fiend.

This is the person sitting in the library, surrounded by three or four empty iced coffee cups. To combat the lack of sleep and long hours spent studying, they're 100% reliant on any and all types of caffeine for their artificial energy supply.

No matter which personality you adopt when dealing with stress, just know that you will definitely survive this midterm season. Get some sleep, make some coffee, hit the lib, and rest assured that it'll all be over soon! Good luck!!
