10 People You See At The County Fair

It is just about time for the county fairs! Every year no matter where you go, it seems that some characters just keep reappearing, some you love and some you love to hate. Either way, go check out your county fair and see if you can spot these lovely characters and some pretty cool projects a long the way.

1. The Die-Hard 4-Her

These are the kids the fair is for, the ones who work all year long for this one week. Most likely they will be running from barn to barn and building to building getting projects judged and making sure everything goes off perfectly.

2. The Die-Hard 4-H Parent

You know the one, that parent who is standing right behind their kid at every turn making sure all the projects are where they should be and every T is crossed and I is dotted.

3. The Overwhelmed Mother

Her gaggle of kiddos doesn't have any entries but she is running around all over the place trying to keep the kids all together and making sure they keep the breaking to a minimal

4. The Old Cowboy

It's the man everyone knows, even though he doesn't have any connection in the fair he is there every day just checking it all out and helping when he can. He's the man who can be spotted in old jeans and boots that have seen better days, even when it is a million degrees outside

5. The Farm Girl

She can be spotted right there with all the boys in one of the livestock barns probably has dirt on her face and her mother is probably a little bitter that the little farm girl won't do sewing or arts and crafts.

6. The Bug Kid

I don't know where they find all the bugs but they are the only kid in entomology. You can spot them from a mile away, everything about them screams "The Bug Kid".

7. Urban Cowboy

They conveniently are only around during the big shows and the rodeo. They don't do much but stand around and pretend like they know what is going on.

8. Just there because they have to

No seriously, they do the minimal amount and are grumpy the whole time. Most likely chaperoned by a psycho-pushy parent.

9. Cowgirl Princess

She is only a cowgirl once a year, about the time the urban cowboys come out to play. Look for mini-skirts and new boots that look like they have never been worn (because they haven't)

10. The Cute Old Couple

They look adorable walking from exhibit to exhibit looking at everything and offering nice little comments at everyone.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

music sheet

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
