The 6 Types of People You Meet During Finals Week
Programming Librarian

Ah, Finals week. The time of year that makes students, no matter their major, cringe in their comfy dorm beds. Where coffee becomes the desired beverage, the hours of sleep a night dwindles down, and the library becomes the most popular place on campus. Finals week brings out a whole new side of your fellow students. Here are the six types of students you meet during finals week!


1. The Stressers

These are the people who you see in the Library two weeks before finals week, getting a head start before anyone else on studying for finals. They can recite everything they learned in the semester forwards and backward, and still stress about failing their finals.


2. The Deniers

Everybody has a little bit of the denier personality in them. Especially in the beginning when Finals week is looming right around the corner. They're the students who are most likely to deny how much work they need to put into studying for their finals, but are then quick to calculate what grade they need to make on the final in order to get an A in the class.


3. The Procrastinators

While their roommates and their friends are spending time in the library, panicking and studying for their finals...you can find these students doing the complete opposite. Most of them are probably sleeping in their bed, taking multiple naps, or maybe they're just binge-watching netflix as their study materials are sitting on their desk.

4. The Caffeine Addicts

They practically bleed coffee. You'll always find them in the library or in a classroom with a large coffee in their hand. And if they're not there, then you can check the nearest Starbucks or Dunkin'. It makes you wonder how they managed to look so composed when they've consumed an inhumane amount of coffee.

5. The Optimists

The people who, no matter how much stress they're under, always seem to be in the best mood. It's always a good idea to be around these types of students, especially during finals week because they can help prevent you from going into a complete downward spiral.

6. The Underachievers

They say they're going to study, but most of the time they tend to just watch Netflix and do other things, not really managing to do a lot of work. Sometimes, though, these tend to be the students who manage to get good grades on their finals, no matter the amount of work they put into it. But the other half of the time, well...you can figure it out.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
