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.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
