Which Week of the Quarter System Are You?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

The quarter system moves pretty darn fast and each week seems just like the other, but when you look at the big picture, you’re able to distinguish that every week is slightly different and unique than the next. Find out which week you are below.

Week One:

You’re excited about everything and live for the thrill of new things. You sign up for just about every club in fall quarter and like to meet lots of people.

Week Two:

You’re a people person. You learn best and do best by hanging out with your No. 1’s.

Week Three:

You’re a chill person who’s not easily upset by much and you just roll with whatever’s going on at the time. Yoga is your medicine and you’re pretty much down for anything. You handle situations well and you just wanna soak up that Cali sun.

Week Four:

You’re a goofball. You light up the room when you walk in. You love to make people laugh inside and outside of class. Your bright personality comes into play to motivate others.

Week Five:

You’re the type of person who finds her major intriguing. Every new fact gives you a high and you absolutely love your classes.You’re studious AF and when you get a good grade, that excites you.

Week Six:

You’re the type of student who likes to experiment with new study spaces, methods and life in general. You’re the Curious George of college.

Week Seven:

You try really, really hard, and when you feel like you’ve failed you sometimes let yourself down. Usually, you’re pretty good at recognizing your weaknesses and you pick yourself back up before that eighth week comes.

Week Eight:

You’re an expert at being super studious, but you also have that off-switch that unleashes your silliness. You toggle back and forth between these two while still managing to crush your tests.

Week Nine:

What did you say, professor? Something about spring break?

You’re a dedicated and motivated individual. You’ll put all your energy into your studies while sometimes neglecting your social life, but when all’s said and done, you’re a pretty balanced student.

Week Ten:

You are the type of person who has been there, done that. You know the best places to nap and study around and off campus and you’re a total bad *ss. You get fed up with drama and just like to get down to business and get your assignments out of the way so you can enjoy doing other things.

And when the quarter’s over … you celebrate.
