Halloween is here and in full swing, and whether you love it or you hate the holiday (and if you hate it, I'm sorry, what?) there's no avoiding it. Whether you plan on hitting up one of the dozens of Halloween parties or just sitting at home watching Hocus Pocus while scrolling through heavily edited Instagram photos of people showing off their costumes, you're bound to see a wide variety of people who each have a different idea of what a Halloween costume should be. I'm sure out of the many people you see on Halloween night, you're bound to recognize a few in the list below.

1) The One Who's Had their Costume Planned for Months

This person lives for Halloween and probably already has a Pinterest board full of ideas for next year.

2) The Makeup Wiz

You can't help but just stare in awe because you literally learned how to put on eye liner correctly like two months ago.

3) The Procrastinator

This is the person who either got dragged to the party even though they swore they weren't going and needed a last minute costume.. or they were just lazy.. or broke.

4) The Basic Girl

Is it really Halloween if you don't see a girl in a short dress with some type of animal ears on?

5) The Pun Master

They also spend 75% of their evening explaining what they are to people, but hey, it's still hilarious.

6) The Scary One

More than likely, all night they are having to remind people who they are behind the crazy, dark makeup and excessive fake blood.

7) The Couple

A delicate reminder that you are also very much alone on this holiday as well.

8) The Squad

Nothing like rolling up to every Halloween party with the squad. The costumes make for some pretty cute Instagram pictures too.

9) The Pledge

Typically the funniest costume at the party, but you can't help feel bad for the guy who got stuck wearing nothing but tights for the evening.

10) The One Who Stays Home and Watches Scary Movies

You usually see them from their Snapchat story, captioned "trick or treating from my bed" with Netflix in the background.They don't get why anyone would ever want to spend the time and money making a costume just to go to a loud, dark place for a party. I think we've all been there.

So the real question is, who will you decide to be this Halloween?

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.
