The 8 People You See In The Library During Finals Week

It's a stressful time, folks. And everyone has their own ways of coping.

The 8 People You See In The Library During Finals Week
PlayBuzz

During finals week, the library is hopping with all kinds of people trying to cram in their studies in their own individual ways. Here is a list of some of the people you will catch in the lib this week.

The Studious Student

This is basically the person that probably has their life together, has never changed their major, and might even already have a job lined up for them after college. They most likely are at the library more than their own home, and they are most likely okay with that. This is who every college student aspires to be.

The "I'll just take a 5 minute social media break" Student

**Disclaimer: it's not just a 5 minute break** I'd say I personally relate to this person the most because I'll be frustrated with my homework and decide to give myself a little break and scroll through twitter. (Because I deserve it!!!) Next thing you know, it's 45 minutes later, I've done absolutely no work, and I'm somehow on YouTube watching "The entire bee movie but every time they say bee it gets faster".

The Obnoxious Student

You know the kind. They either won't stop talking, are crunching their chips a little too loud, won't stop clicking their pens, or maybe they're even on the phone. They'll basically do anything to avoid starting to study. The obnoxious student will most likely transition into The "I'll just take a 5 minute social media break" student in an effort to boost morale before completely giving up and leaving the library.

The "obviously on adderall" Student

This is the person who is typing 100 words per minute, breathing heavily, and they might not even be blinking. They're so focused on what they need to get done and you better believe they're not leaving that library until everything is finished.

The Emotional Student

This......this is me. I can't tell you the amount of times I've started crying in the library due to just life, man. I can tell you the amount of times I've gotten weird looks from it, though. ZERO. College is so great because you can have a mental breakdown just about anywhere —on the bus, in class, in the lib, literally anywhere, and everyone kind of just...gets it. However, if/when you do spot The Emotional Student in the library this week, maybe try giving a subtle head nod as to say, "I understand, I am with you, it's going to be okay." :)

The Netflix Binging Student

Look. They made it to the library. Let's give them some credit.

The "Falling Asleep But Fighting It" Student

This poor kid has probably been at the library for hours on hours, maybe even days. They haven't gotten sleep in who knows how long and probably haven't showered in a while either. They're trying their hardest to study —they really are! However, you notice they keep nodding off then suddenly jerking their head back up while wiping the drool from their cheek, and possibly even their textbook. If you relate to this student at all, take care of yourself and GO HOME. Get some rest. Your brain is not going to retain any information you try to give it when you're running on no sleep, just do yourself a favor and go nap!

The Sleeping Student

This person was The "Falling Asleep But Fighting It" Student, but clearly, sleep won. This person is so exhausted that they literally don't care at all about the drool on their face and are probably having wonderful dreams...about a better time...when finals were nonexistent...

Side note: Don't wake this student. Let them experience the sweet, sweet serenity of imagination and escape the horrific reality of deadlines and blackboard learn.

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.
