5 People You Meet During Finals Week

Ah finals week. As it swiftly approaches we begin to regret everything we have or have not done during the semester and curse professors that give cumulative exams. While you are holed up in the library or trudging through campus, you are bound to run into at least one of these five people.

1. The group members who put off their final project until the end.

This group can be seen huddled around the back table in the library arguing over who was supposed to do what job. These students looked at the due date and then promptly forgot about it until the professor told them not to forget to turn it in online. The leader looks angry, the slacker is nodding off, and the others are tying to calculate how poorly they can do to pass.

2. The one who has had too much espresso.

On approach you can smell the stench of coffee and tears rolling off of them. They have the tell-tale bags under their eyes and they seem to be so concentrated on their computer screen you aren't sure they are actually seeing anything. They appear to be vibrating as their hands shake while they try to type and take another sip of their black coffee at once.

3. The one you met the first week of school and haven't seen the rest of the semester.

This person you sat next to during the first class and then promptly never saw them again. You aren't sure if they are passing or failing the class but if they are somehow passing, you want to know their secret. They aren't 100 percent sure that they are sitting in the right classroom because they don't really recognize the professor at the front of the room. Does this person even go to school here?

4. The one who drinks the stress away.

Just like the one who had too much coffee, you can smell this person as they walk/stumble past you. Secretly you are impressed that they even made it to campus in their current hungover/still drunken state. They clearly aren't handling the stress well (or are depending on your definition of "well") and have decided that their answers are at the bottom of a bottle or 12 cups of Kahlua and coffee.

5. The person who has given up.

This person comes in two forms. The first is the one asleep on the floor of the library with their notes thrown everywhere, laptop closed, coffee cups knocked over, and not a single care given anymore. They may also be the person with all of their notes thrown everywhere watching Netflix because they have either decided to wing it or have resigned themselves to failure.

The second type of person has given up so much that they didn't even make it to campus. They are at home, asleep, actively choosing not to go and take their tests because they have officially given up.

Keep trucking through until finals, everyone, and try to avoid embodying any of these as much as you can! We make fun of these people, but we really can't judge because we have definitely all been there. You are not your grades and this is what delete/repeats were created for!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
