5 Types Of Students At The Library During Finals Week
That Cozy Book Nook

Ah, it is that time of year again. A time filled with holiday spirit, Christmas lights, and hot chocolate drinking fun.

That is, if you aren't a college student.

If you are a college student, the Christmas spirit probably hasn't hit you just yet. You are a little more focused on making it through these last two weeks alive.

Students get a big dose of anxiety, coffee drinks sell like crazy, and the library becomes the campus hot spot.

With students flocking to one general area, comes a great deal of people watching (in between my study sessions, of course, mom.)

Here are the five different types of people you are likely to see during finals week at the library:

1. The Vagabond

Coming to the library is nothing new for this student. In fact, they have been coming every day this semester. The library is their turf, and this time of year annoys the heck out of them. This student is probably sitting at an area with an angry look on their face. Why? Because you have invaded their territory. Thou shall not enter, and all that jazz. If you are student 2-5, the vagabond probably hates you.

2. The First Timer

What is the library? There is a coffee shop in here? Which floor is the quiet floor? After a semester of procrastination, this student has finally decided they want to pass their classes this semester. They haven't stepped foot in the library yet this year, or semester, and they are probably walking around aimlessly with a confused look on their face. Will they actually spend time studying? Probably not.

3. The Freshman

This student is probably frantically flipping through pages freaking out about finals. They are probably taking finals too seriously. They don't really know what to expect, and haven't yet developed adequate study skills. You will probably see them spread out around the library in groups. Don't worry kids, you will get through this.

4. The Over-Exaggerator

We get it, you have finals and projects due next week. Guess what? So do we. Tone it down a little, skipper.

5. The Procrastinator

We see you looking up pictures of cats, and watching YouTube videos. You aren't fooling anyone.

Which one are you?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
