It is that time of the year... Pencils are no longer new and notebooks have that weird feeling on each page from all the times they have been flipped through and most of us don't even know what day of the week it is. Even though we are all struggling college students, we all have our own unique strategies and personalities to conquer this season of the semester. Here are the six types of people you will meet during midterm season.

1. The Go Getter

The one who has every due date, every exam, every quiz all outlined and they are freaking ready to conquer them all. A rare breed, but definitely alive around campus. They can usually be found in the library during normal daylight hours and found sleeping peacefully at night because they have it together.

2. The "wait is today Tuesday?"

The one that is just always confused. This semester was too much, the schedule was a major L and they just need to make it to Christmas. They can usually be found attempting to do work at the library when they are really missing their lecture because they think today is Monday. We know them and we love them.

3. The one you don't really see anymore

The one that has kind of gone MIA, they say they are in the library all night. Are they? Are they okay? No one really knows. You saw them all of sylly week but now maybe you will see them once a week. They can be found.. Well.. no one really knows but probably the library.

4. The one who still doesn't know their schedule

The one who still texts and asks what room lecture is in or what time you should meet to walk to class. Even though you have been doing the same thing for the past seven weeks, they are surprised each time. They can usually be found walking to the wrong class or missing a lab.

5. The one who can't stop talking about how much they love fallĀ 

The one who has said "spooky season" ten times within the past hour and is so excited to wear their oversized flannel to the pumpkin patch. They physically can't focus on any assignment until they have the perfect Halloween costume picked out. They can usually be found at the nearest pumpkin patch avoiding their work.

6. And the one who can't stop talking about the holidays

The one who has already skipped over Halloween and Thanksgiving and they are halfway done with their Christmas list. They also can't focus on anything unless it has something to do with the holidays. They can usually be found daydreaming in the library about Christmas or crafting a very thorough Christmas list.

7. The one who is already checked out and too busy planning next semesterĀ

The one who already has next semester's schedule memorized. They have checked out entirely of this semester and are ready to start over. They can usually be found in the classes they are going to be enrolled in this spring and preparing for the next sylly week.

The silver lining about midterm season is the end of midterm season and the light at the end of the tunnel for this semester. Once we are through the exams, it's time to brush off the stress with a weekend spent doing all fun things with all fun people. We are halfway done with the semester and the end is in sight.

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.
