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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
