The 5 People You Meet During Charity Week
UD Charity Week Facebook Page

One of the most anticipated traditions at UD every year is Charity Week. A week where you can shoot friends and strangers alike with a squirt gun, hoping for the most Kaos kills. A week where you can get out of class for just $1 by putting your professor in jail. A week where you can send a crush can to that special someone, vote on your favorite Rome photos, buy a hot date, lip sync to your favorite song, run a 5k, and much more, all in the name of charity. And every Charity Week, you are bound to meet these five people:

1. The Cheerleader

This person is the spirit of Charity Week. They volunteer at every booth, participate in every event, and dress up for the theme every day. You can hear them shouting through Hagar reminding you to vote for Rome photos or buy a crush can, saying, "it's for charity!" Their energy and dedication is admirable, but don't put it beyond The Cheerleader to make you feel like you're "killing the babies" if you don't donate a dollar to a booth.

2. The Penny Pincher

For some reason, this person is less likely to donate money because it's Charity Week. They'll constantly tell you, "I can't believe how much money you're spending," every time you decide to make a contribution. They might fork over a dollar to get out of class, but more likely they'll just skip class anyway and have someone else cover their cost.

3. The Assassin

This person takes Kaos way too seriously. You're out of luck if you're this person's target. If you delete your social media, they will still somehow find out who you are and what you look like. Buying immunity won't protect you either, because you can count on the Assassin to buy a super soaker with an indoor permit. Don't doubt their dedication either, because even if you're in a safe zone, they will camp out for hours and be there to squirt you as soon as you leave. The Assassin makes it his or her prerogative to pick off everyone on the open season list. They will do anything it takes to make sure they stay in the game and win.

4. The Jail Bird


This person has about $20 on their head at all times. But instead of just avoiding the Mall, they like to taunt the jailers and walk by as many times a day as they can. If you see someone kicking and screaming as they're being carried into jail, you're probably dealing with a Jail Bird. But there's nothing a Jail Bird likes more than the challenge of escaping. You might have seen a group of them carrying the jail off towards the tower to start a mass prison-break, but you know they're not going to help carry it back!

The Backstabber

This is the friend who invites you over to Hagar for lunch, and as you cross the mall you're escorted to jail. Right on cue, The Backstabber comes out of their hole and points and laughs, handing over another dollar to the jailers. This person will also put you onto the Kaos open season list...TWICE! Even if they're not playing, nothing gives them greater pleasure than to watch you suffer. Money is no object for The Backstabber when it comes to messing with friends.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
