Finals are here and all-nighters are becoming reality rather than just a passing joke with your friends. If you are like me, you spent the semester putting in the average amount of work to keep your grades acceptable, living by the motto "C's get degrees."

However, If you are like me, now you are at the end and realize you actually want A's and rely on your professor to give you that extra boost without doing any extra work. I feel like some professor should expect it when I show up to their office ready to be a suck up like...

However, there are other people that are not like this at all and I think you have experienced all of them over the past week.

1. The kid on Adderall

There is always someone that wakes up and just pops some Adderall to get through the day of cramming. They have a slight twitch in their movements, and when they look at you, you can't actually tell if they are really seeing you. Mostly you just have to let this kid be to get their work done, otherwise, you will find yourself starting to get jumpy and anxious yourself.

2. The kid with a 4.0

You would think that because they have straight A's and they would be relaxed without a care in the world regarding finals, but instead, they are stressing out the most. They are out of bed by 7 a.m., even on days that they don't have finals, and they are in the library until 11 pm.

3. The other kid with a 4.0

I especially hate this kid. This kid also has a perfect GPA, spins in a chair instead of studying and tries to convince everyone that they are going to fail, but they don't care. You study your butt and get violated by the final barely managing a C, and they roll out with an A++++ without studying for a minute.

4. The kid who doesn't have any finals

These kids have the easiest schedules and finished their finals, or final projects weeks ago, so they are just counting the days until they go home. Because they themselves don't have anything to do, they pass their time distracting you...while you're trying to study. They seem to think that because they are done everyone else is, so if they are around you best believe you aren't getting any work done.

5. The kid who asks you for all your study materials

This kid will text you at midnight the night before your final and ask you for your notes, study guide, your brain previous tests, anything that they could use to miraculously pass the test. They never do any work themselves and try to act like you are friends just because they know without you they would have an F.

6. The drunk kid

This kid has never cared about school and isn't actually at college for school, they came here for the parties, so they pregame everything... even finals. You see on their snap story an hour before the test with a bottle of alcohol, and they show up plastered to take the test.

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
