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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
