Final year in university is the bridge between the security school provides and the uncertainties of the world after. However, you can expect to meet different personalities in any final year class. This is a list of some of them.

1. The ones who don’t care about school anymore

These people have absolutely lost all their ability to can. As far as they’re concerned, they’ve paid their dues and done everything they can for their CGPA — where it stands don’t matter now, as long as they don’t get an extra year. All they want to do is put school behind them.

2. The ones who rub it in everyone’s face

You would think that people get paid to be in their final year from the way these guys carry it on their heads like it’s some title. They don’t fail to remind everyone, especially those in lower levels that they belong to the final year brethren. God knows who even came up with that.

3. The ones who are in a race to finish their project as soon as possible

These people have always been competitive since primary school. You would think that they’re on steroids the way they take on their project and do everything they need to do ASAP. While you’re still struggling with your project proposal, they’re already out on the field gathering their data and interpreting it.

4. The ones who are only pumped for the parties

Final year is just like every other year to these people, save for all the parties and other final year events in the second semester, and that’s the only thing they look forward to.

5. The ones who are not sure what they want to do

Final year is the time for deep and sober reflection for these ones. One on hand, they’re looking forward to graduation. But on the other, they are not sure what’s going to happen after. There is a disconcerting feeling they can’t shake, even though they mask it so well.
