College will introduce you to some of the best and worst people. For better or worse, these are the people you’ll be seeing for the next four years, so buckle up, collegiate.

1) The Slacker with a Crazy IQ

This guy is either constantly playing video games, or always looking to party. Either way, you haven’t seen him in class since syllabus week, but somehow he always ends up with a crazy GPA.

2) The Girl Who Studies 24/7

You’ll see this girl in class and at the final exam, but that’s about it. Other than that, she’s locked up in the library or study room and working her butt off to earn that degree. You go, girl.

3) The Overachiever

This girl is similar to the one who studies all the time, however, she also has two jobs, 20 units, a boyfriend, is in a sorority, and also made the Dean’s List. Oh and she’s also super nice. You’ll hate not being able to hate this girl.

4) The Girl Who Can’t Handle Her Alcohol.

This girl is always overly excited about the weekend. She tends to get carried away, and is usually blacked out a few hours into the night. Giving her a re-cap the next day may embarrass her, but it most likely won’t change her ways.

5) The One in All of Your Classes

This person is a recurring figure in your life. You’ve basically guaranteed to have a class with them during any given term. You might not know each other’s names, but you’ll definitely acknowledge each other on campus.

6) The One That's ALWAYS on Their Phone

Whether they’re Snapchatting or texting their moms, these guys seem to get major anxiety being apart from their cell phone.

7) Awkward Hook-up Run-ins

You see each other around campus occasionally, and every time you do, it’s the weirdest thing ever. You’re guaranteed awkward eye contact if you ever happen to run into each other.

8) The People With Enough Energy to Act as a Wi-Fi Server for the Entire Continent of Africa.

You have to be wary of these guys. Sure, being around someone who's a ball of energy can be fun, but sometimes it can be a bit much.

9) The Obnoxious Couple

These guys probably met during the first few weeks of school, and they’re still going through their honeymoon phase a year later. Whether they’re posting cute Snap stories or making out on a park bench, these two are always together. If you’re friends with one of them, chances are you’ll have to get along with their significant other as well.

10) The Know-it-All

A lot of times these guys are actually really smart; but for the most part, they’re just convinced they know more than anyone else. No matter the topic, they always have some piece of information to add to the conversation.

11) The Lost Ones

These are the people you were convinced you’d be BFFLs with, but for some reason or another it didn’t work out. Now you aren’t totally sure whether to say hi to each other or not on campus.

12) Your Homies

These are your people. They’ll listen to your whining, and call you out on your mistakes. These guys won’t judge you for binge-watching "High School Musical," make 3 A.M. runs to find donuts, and will talk to you about anything and everything. You probably have a plethora of inside jokes, but can also communicate with just a look.

The college experience is different for everyone, but there are some people who you’ll find on every campus. You’ve got at least four years to find your people, and chances are, some of them are on this list.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
