Finals week changes people...

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
