8 People You'll Meet In College Described By 'Arthur' Characters

1. The Brain

This asshole is majoring in engineering and he won’t shut up about it. He’s very smart, kinda cool, getting good grades, and will not stop telling you about how hard his major is. No matter what the conversation, it somehow comes around to how much homework, tutoring, or studying he has to do. You've never once claimed that your major is harder than his but he makes sure to let you know it's not. We all just want to say hey Brain: shut up nerd.


2. Muffy

The Muffys of college are the girls who have weekly allowances from their parents specifically for Starbucks. They talk about being a broke college kid because that’s what everyone else does, but they have the entire color spectrum of Kendra Scott earrings and their football game-day attire comes exclusively from boutiques.


3. Buster

Buster is your freshman year potluck roommate that you really like but he stresses you the hell out. You don’t understand how comfortable he is with how little he studies. It’s not like he’s out partying like crazy, he just watches a lot of Netflix, doesn’t go to class, and is really messy. You ask him for updates on how his classes are going to try and parent him, but his nonchalant answers raise your blood pressure.


4. Francine

Francine is the b*tch who does the Johnny Manziel money-sign celebration after scoring a touchdown in intramurals. She has not mellowed out at all and she's somehow still as insanely competitive as she was in high school where she got ejected from the senior vs junior powderpuff game for tackling the other team's receiver.


5. Arthur

Arthur is the guy at the bar that buys the girl he’s politely hitting on a drink, and then watches sadly as she says goodbye and goes and gives the drink to her boyfriend. He’s nice but that’s about all he’s got going for him. He doesn’t understand that girls require more qualities than that and thus he always thinks he’s unfairly friend zoned.


6. Sue Ellen

Sue Ellen has traveled a lot. Her Instagram is filled with pictures of her having coffee on a mountain in Colorado, riding an elephant in Thailand, and relaxing in her Chacos in an Eno hammock on campus. You mock the hipsterness of her pictures to mask that fact that you really envy her and you know you’ll never be as cool or cultured as her.


7. Binky

Binky doesn’t actually go to your college. He followed his more goal oriented friends to the junior college that’s affiliated with your university. You met because you have a mutual friend that he went to high school with. Speaking of high school, has he told you all of his stories about senior year? He was really good at football and he drank a lot, but not during football season. He graduated high school with a solid 2.4 GPA because he didn't care and his teachers gave C’s to football players. You know he's already peaked, but his cockiness and pride tells you he hasn't figured that out yet.


8. D.W.

This is the person in your organization that’s always trying to take charge but doesn’t have the authority or the group’s respect to do so. They’re very dramatic, and they always need to voice their opinions. The people who are actually in charge of your organization hate them but pretend they don’t to preserve group unity. It's gotten to the point where everything they say annoys you. They could be like, "I saved a bunch of puppies from a fire last night" and you'd be like, "oh yeah, I bet you started the fire too."

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.

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.
