While it can be debated that the Facebook reign may be over, everyone seems to have the same experiences with friends on Facebook. It's inevitable that the same type of people crop up on Facebook time and time again, but there are some real gems that you can find if you look hard enough.

1. The type of people who fight on "Tasty" videos.

We can always count on Linda to tell us when Tasty used too much butter, or when they're not sharing enough gluten free options.

2. The type of people who share "Tasty" videos.

Bless you, friends. You grace my timeline with delicious food every day and it is the sole reason I go on Facebook anymore.

3. Your one idiot 'friend' that won't stop sharing racist/homophobic stuff.

Their statuses are like car crashes: they're really horrible to look at, but you can't really look away either.

4. The couple that for sure is going to get engaged in the next year.

Do they ever spend time apart? No. Are you hoping to get invited to the wedding? Kinda. Are you going to stalk the hell out of their engagement photo shoot that they'll post next month? Of course.

5. The family friend that comments/likes EVERYTHING.

Another reason you have to untag yourself from all the photos from last night.

6. The friend that loves to bring back your embarrassing Facebook statuses.

It was 2010, everyone did "like for a like". Times were simpler, so let's leave it in the past. (I'm totally guilty of being this person by the way).

7. The person you never actually met before, but are still friends with anyway.

You have over 300 mutual friends, and you vaguely know the people in their photos. You don't want to de-friend them just in case you meet them in the future (always awkward to re-friend) but still.

8. The friend that non-stop posts about their problems.

I'm sorry about your breakup, but a shared photo of a broken heart is not going to bring him back.

9. The people that share dog/cat videos all the time.

You ruin my productivity, but you also make my day.

10. The friend that writes for the Odyssey and shares their articles every week.

So annoying, am I right?

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

University of Vermont

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.
