As finals are (unfortunately) quickly approaching, we are all going to find ourselves locked in the library finishing a paper we never started, or studying for a test in a class we’re currently failing. Walking into the library in the midst of finals anxiety is something that no one could make up. People are everywhere, and you’re lucky if you can even get a spot in the library. When we unpack our stuff and finally find a quiet place to study, there’s a good chance we fall into one of these five categories.

The Caffeine Addict

The caffeine addict surrounds themselves with endless cups of espresso and Monster energy drinks. They haven’t slept in days and there’s a good chance they’re hopped up on more than just coffee.

The Procrastinator

Their professor assigned their final paper two weeks before it was due, to encourage their students to get it done by the time their final class period rolls around. The procrastinator locks themselves up in the third floor of the library 24 hours before the biggest project of their college career is due. The procrastinator is not to be confused with the caffeine addict, although there is a good chance they’re hopped up on espresso too.

The Sleeper

The sleeper, also not to be confused with the procrastinator, has been working on their projects and studying through all hours of the night. At one point or another, they just couldn’t take it anymore and passed out on their Organic Chemistry book. But if you sleep on your textbook, you’ll remember the info better…right?

The Chatty-Cathy

The worst types of people to find in the library are the Chatty-Cathy’s. They don’t believe that the library is a quiet place, and will blast “Hotline Bling” and dance around like it’s a Thursday Night at Stingers, while loudly flirting with the cute guy sitting at the table next to them. These people are the bane of my existence.

The Worry-Wart

We all fear that we’re going to crack under the pressure that is finals week. The worry-wart on the other hand is constantly afraid he/she is going to fail all of her projects and tests. The friends of the worry-wart will usually ignore them during this time, because they’re freaking out over nothing. The worry-wart is usually the member of many honor societies.

I’m sure we all know someone in one of these categories, or we’ve been one of the people in these categories, even if we'd hate to admit it. Well, as finals week approaches, I leave you with this: may the odds be ever in your favor.
