Exam season is upon us, folks! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been practically living at the library. Believe me when I say it becomes a whole new world when this time of year rolls around.

I’ve observed this somewhat foreign habitat for a few weeks now, so next time you hit your campus library, keep an eye out for these fascinating (and often confusing) types of people at the library during study week.

#1 The Camper

You’ll normally find the camper with a pillow, sleeping bag, eye mask, or all of the above, trying to catch up on four months’ worth of lectures. Catch them in the most secluded corners of the uni library (pillow fort optional) and be gentle upon approaching, as campers don’t typically interact with other students.

#2 The Couple

My personal nightmare in the uni library is the couple. Whether it’s at the microwave, in line at the cafe, or even at a table sprawled with notes, these lovebirds can’t seem to get their hands off each other.

PDA ain’t an issue for these two, and neither is their upcoming exam timetable, apparently. I mean, get a grip guys.

#3 The Social Butterfly

If you don’t know this person before you enter the library, you’ll sure as hell know them by the time you leave!

Found exclusively in the talking section of tables, the social butterfly really knows how to make the library their bitch — they can accumulate Instagram followers, weekend plans and industry contacts by the time everyone else gets through that pesky week 13 lecture. I’d be mad if I weren’t so damn impressed!

#4 The DJ

You’ll find the DJ with the most obnoxious headphones on the level, and the most enthusiastic, yet library-appropriate, dance moves — including the shoulder shimmy, the head nod and the subtle finger point.

Forget Google Scholar, Spotify is the DJ’s app of choice, and there’s no denying that within an hour study sesh, they’ll have their personal ‘Study jamz’ playlist cranking and their music blasting a little louder than is publicly acceptable.

#5 The Procrastinator

Ah yes, the type of person I’m sure we can all relate to being. You’ll find the procrastinator scrolling through practically every website on the internet — as long as it isn’t related to coursework, of course.

The procrastinator can be easily detected by the time they dawdle to find a chair, the amount of study snacks they take too long to purchase, and the duration of that phone call to their great aunt Betty in the UK. The clock may be ticking, but their Netflix watchlist is getting longer — and that new season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt isn’t going to watch itself, right?
