10 Types Of Students You Meet At College
Shuttershock

1. The frat guy/ the sorority girl

This one is obvious. The one who parties all night, sleeps all day, and copies the notes that they missed in class from you. In order to pay for college, they've probably played some kind of sport in high school, or their parents are rich.

2. The RA

This person doesn't have to necessarily be an RA to have the personality of one. This person gets very involved on campus, somehow managing to be the president of 20 clubs all at once. They also have straight A's and show up to (or even host) every event possible. Being both friendly and outgoing, teachers always seem to love them.

3. The Stressed

This individual is always either too loud or too quiet. They most likely live in a single dorm and are glued to their computers. They spend long hours doing projects and don't know what sleep is. During the day, they look dead and devote all of their time to academics. These people are most likely some form of art, music or film majors.

4. The High School Sweethearts

There's always one couple on campus that chose a school together. They're never apart and you don't know their individual personalities because they're practically the same person. They either break up or get hitched before graduation.

5. The "Athlete"

This person wears gym shorts and hoodie in the winter or a t-shirt in the summer with the same socks and sandals combo everyday. They follow sports religiously, and telepathically know what team won and their final score without actually watching the game. Their blood is the color of their school colors and they're at the gym taking selfies for Instagram.

6. The Endless Eater


This person has a meal plan, but decides to get takeout twice a day. They smoke and smell really bad, yet manage to afford their bad habits. They're always in their room playing Bob Marley and eating Ramen while probably watching Rick and Morty. They know every takeout menu by heart and can help you with some great recommendations. How are they passing?

7. Aca-Never shut up

This person sings. And talks. All. The. Time. Probably knows piano or some kind of obscure hipster instrument. Or plays guitar on the quad. Never go to parties with this person because they party with people exactly like them. Every time they sing, they talk about how badly they suck, meanwhile your own voice can break glass.


8. Attention Troll

This guy shares everything and anything on social media, and makes their opinion known. Anything other than their opinion is wrong. You can't tell if this guy is serious or just wants a good debate. According to them, it's all in good fun and simply trying to challenge your mind. However, multiple people somehow still get offended. As troll-like as they may be over the internet, they're a whole new person in real life for some reason.

9. The Gamers

These guys are always playing video games; either together, individually or both. Sometimes they forget to eat or sleep, and are oblivious to their surroundings. They occasionally miss class for a game release and then the classes after to play the game. They're really smart, but don't put in nearly as much effort in their classes as they do to level up their Pokemon.

10. The Brainiac

This person lives in the library. They know they're here for school and school only. Social life? Sleep? What's that? They miss out on everything, but when they're valedictorian and their dream job offer handed to them, they will say "worth it."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
