The 10 Different Types Of People You See In The Library During Finals Week

It's that time of the year again, the library is crawling with a sorts of students and you're mental capacity is completely shot. This is the part of semester where the library begins to overflow with a complete variety of students, most of them with a look of wonder in their eyes as they've never ventured into the library before this week. They're all hoping that the silence of the library will somehow fuel their motivation to study and get any last minute projects done. Following are the ten different types of people that you'll see getting that study grind on in #ClubLib this week.

1. Melodramatic Mandy

That one girl that has just as much work to do as everyone else but she can't stop complaining about how she has it sooo much worse off. We all know that you have two essays to finish and an exam tomorrow you've told us three times in the last hour.

2. Chatty Cathy

She may think that she's whispering, but about half the library just heard about her hookup last night. It's a wonder how she gets any work done, talking so much.

3. The One That's Basically Living in the Library

They're so stressed about not getting all their work done this week that they've basically taken up residence in the library. They eat there, sleep there—they've even started smelling like the musty old books up on the third floor.

4. The Procrastinator

They've saved all their studying for the night before and at this point, they're merely running on fumes. Once it hits four in the morning, you know they're going to head to bed with an "it is what it is attitude."

5. The Overachiever

The library is their second home, they've been studying for finals since the second week in the semester. At this point, they're a bit over-prepared, but that won't stop them from heading to #ClubLib anyway to be moral support and brush up on a few things.

6. The Mom

They snuck in an amazing "Exam Week Survival Kit" with all the essentials: a pack of gum, an extra set of earphones, some Advil, 10 different kinds of snacks, multiple forms of caffeine, and an emergency a chocolate bar. If you're in a studying pinch, they've got you covered.

7. The Lost Puppy

They may be walking around a little aimlessly with a strange look on their face. That's because they've never been to the library before this week. They might be a freshman, they probably don't have their sh*t together, and I'm sure their stress level is written all over their face.

8. The Coffee Addict

They may have a crazed look in their eye sitting at a desk surrounded by coffee cups—however you need to get through the week, my friend.

9. Miss Drowning in Her Own Tears

The stress has gotten to them. They've finally reached that breaking point, and they're over in the corner, ugly crying like Kim Kardashian. It's fine, though—that'll probably be you tomorrow.

10. Death Stare Darcy

Every little noise ticks them off. A shoe tap here, a gum smack there, someone accidentally forgets to mute the sound on their computer and a video advertisement shows up. They even get irritated by the clanking book carts rolling throughout the library. Any little noise, and their eyes are piercing through the back of your head with disdain. There's not a whole lot you can do about it though, just let them worry themselves and get your own studying done.

There so many different types of people who venture into #ClubLib for the ever anticipated exam week. But don't let others get you down, and get your study grind on.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
