We all have different ways of handling stress.

The 5 People You See In The Library During Finals Week

Finals week is very stressful, and some people tend to handle the stress a lot better than others. The library is certainly an interesting spot during finals week, and the people who you see there can be placed into five different categories.

The Procrastinators

This person will be doing activities such as shopping online or watching Netflix. Honestly, the procrastinator will find ANYTHING more interesting than studying.


The Ideal Students


The one who is efficiently studying. These are the people who everyone aims to be like.

The Sleepers


Sometimes, the stress gets to you, and the only thing that can help is sleep. Plus, you never know how long the sleeper has been at the library for; maybe they’re going on their 12th hour of studying and it’s just time for a nap.

The Social Butterflies


The people who form study groups only to get distracted the whole time, resulting in zero studying being completed.

The Dramatic Ones


These are the people who shed tears as they flip through piles of flashcards. They often say things such as “I’m dropping out” and “maybe living in a cardboard box won’t be so bad”.

Though the stress may get to many people during finals week, we can rejoice in the fact that we will all survive this, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now.

"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 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?
