12 People Who Are The Definition Of "Not All Heroes Wear Capes"

St. Louis Post Dispatch

Typically when people hear the word "hero", they think of Superman, Batman, or any other comic book character with some form of superpower. Others think of police officers, soldiers, and other people who spend their entire life risking their life for our country. Some may even think of their mom and dad or any other person close to them. However, there are also the regular people, the Average Joe's some may say, whose actions can tend to be overlooked but are really the reason we have the saying, "not all heroes wear capes."

1. The person who sends notes to the entire class before a test.

They're the professor's worst nightmare and every student's biggest blessing.

2. The friend that lets you use their Netflix account.

The reason for your frequent procrastination but also your periodic happy/lazy days.

3. The friend that asks you to go to the bathroom with her when a creepy guy is hitting on you at the bar.

And don't worry, she'll be there to continue to save you all night.

4. The cashier when they say, "Don't worry about it," when you're a dollar short.

They've got ya feeling #blessed.

5. Anyone that responds to your 2 a.m. text asking for a ride home after a night out.

6. The employee at the store who lets you apply your coupon even though it expired two days ago.

The reason you're not drowning in debt over a pair of shoes.

7. The professor that curves your grade at the end of the semester.

8. Harambe

I don't care if you think if this is old news. Harambe will never be old news.

9. The person who brings their dog to the tailgate.

Is it really game day if you don't see/take a picture with at least one dog.

10. Every pizza delivery guy ever.

*cue "I Will Always Love You" as the pizza man walks back to his car*

11. The person who says "me" when you ask if anyone has a piece of gum.

Saving you from having nasty breath and making everyone hate you one piece of Stride at a time.

12. Ken Bone

The man. The myth. The legend. Ken Bone is just what this odd and stressful election season needed.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during 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.
