11 People You Meet During Finals Week

Finals week tends to bring out the worst in people. The lack of sleep, addition of caffeine, and adrenaline make people question their sanity. It is the most brutal week of the entire semester. These are just a few of the people you will meet during finals week.

1. "The Caffeine Addict."

This college student has been gearing up for the last few weeks of classes and finals. They have the ability to consume a pot of coffee by themselves.

2. "The Stress Eater."

This college student relies on the really good french fries in the cafeteria or the millions of the boxes of mac and cheese that are in their room to help with the stress and anxiety of finals week.

3. "The Library Hermit."

This college student practically lives in the library buried under papers and books. You usually find them at a single desk in the corner of the library freaking out about their five exams.

4. "The Night Owl."

This college student willingly stays up until four in the morning to ensure they know everything for their finals and then sleeps all day.

5. "The Procrastinator."

This college student does everything in their power not to study for their finals. Too tired, guess it's time for a nap. New episode of their favorite show put online, gotta watch that.

6. "The Sand Man."

The college student is so tired they have the ability to fall asleep anywhere. It doesn't matter if it's in the cafeteria while eating dinner, studying in the library, or in the shower.

7. "The Mad Scientist."

This college student is a science major. You question their sanity after looking at the entire white board they have filled with their practice problems. To you it looks like hieroglyphics.

8. "The Crier."

This college student has multiple breakdowns through out the day. This is their cathartic way of working through the stress and anxiety.

9. "The Tasmanian Devil."

This college student is the one that loses their mind. Everyone is genuinely concerned for their well-being, yet no one knows how to help them.

10. "The Walking Dead."

This college student is questioned about how they are functioning. They have pulled about five all-nighters and everyone wants to know how they haven't died yet.

11. "The Mom."

This college student has all the supplies. They have all the snacks, water bottles, and tissues to pass out to help everyone conquer through.

Though finals week is tough, somehow you get through! Keep on pushing through, summer is almost here.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
