The 8 People You'll See on the Way to Class

At least they're actually going.

The 8 People You'll See on the Way to Class

The Runner

So it's 9:58 a.m. and you're roughly eight minutes from class. No problem; it's a nice casual walk the rest of the way there. Suddenly you feel a rush of air and your adrenaline starts pumping; you turn to see what caused the anxiety, and it turns out that it was just some jerk running to class. I guess 9 minutes early is basically the same thing as late to some people.

The Biker

There are two types of people in this world: those who ride bikes to class, and those who are worthy of life. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but there's nothing worse than the smug, ill-deserved, ego of the biker. You have to admit this, we all hate bikers. And if you don't, you're one of them. And you're a part of the problem.

The Still-Drunk

The second biggest menace on campus, aside from the bikers. Can you really blame them though? Some have no tolerance when we get back on campus. And most of us won't admit it until we awkwardly stumble into our 10 AMs.

The Entire Freshman Floor


The best part of this group is that they think they're such great friends because they're all in Gen Chem. I'll give it two weeks before half of them drop premed, and another week before they only ever see each other on the walk back from night exams.

The Couple That Has Morphed Into a Single Person

You can never be sure whether to be impressed or disgusted by these people, but I'm going with disgusted. Why can't they be sad and alone like the rest of us? Your happiness is bad for my health, why can't you respect that?

The Texter

Reality is pretty boring, and I can totally understand that whatever the Fat Jewish just put on Instagram is more exciting than the bunny statue's new sweater, but I'm not going to be as understanding when you walk into the bunny and it takes you out. Although that may be a good way to make some money by suing the school.

The Completely Lost


Luckily for this person, you can download all the maps you could ever need and pretend to text while using them on your phone. Less luckily for this person, most of us don't also have a map taped into the inside of our planners.

The Walker


Oh walking to class, how high and mighty of you. Just stay out of my way because if I run into you while sending drunk texts from my bike, it's not going to be a good day for either of us.

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.
