5 People You See In The Library During Finals Week

Whether finals week is the first time you've decided to step foot in the library or it's the last time you have to enter this doomed building—it's hard to ignore the chaos that goes down in the library. Strangers we may be, but we are all riding the struggle bus together for the weeks that surround finals week. Here are five people you are sure to see in the library during finals week:

1. The Chomper

They've probably been in the library for hours and now these people are starving. But isn't it funny how no one ever brings "quiet foods" to the library like soup or applesauce or even pizza. People who are hungry at the library make sure that they bring the loudest food to eat imaginable (ex: potato chips, carrots, apples, etc.) Seriously, the crunching and chomping of your food is really cute and not annoying at all.


2. The Gossiper

The ones who just can't sit still—they talk to everyone and anyone. It almost seems like it is impossible for them not to know a single person in the library. Maybe you don't know this person, which is a miracle. But don't you worry, by the end of your time in the same vicinity as them you'll know their relationship status, family history, and their social security number.


3. The One Who's Been There Too Long

Go home! Go to bed! You're taking up space. Yes, we all see the drool dripping from your mouth onto the chapter that you're only halfway through reading. We get it, trust us—you're die hard, and we totally respect it. But for the love of God, go home and go to sleep.


4. The Couple That Makes Studying Their "Date Night"

Ahhh, canoodling at the library. We see you, so madly in love that you can't keep your hands off of each other for the hour (maybe) you'll last at the library acting like you're getting anything done other than sucking face. PSA: This is extremely awkward for everyone around you.


5. The Snapchatter

In case you missed it, she/he's at the library during finals week. Shocking and interesting, we know! Please upload another picture of your textbook or possibly a selfie wearing the reading glasses you just put on for the first time since last finals week.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
