15 People You Meet In College

College is a time of change. In high school what you see if usually what you get but not in college. There are people trying to completely change who they are. There are people who probably should change who they are. Then there are people who you just can’t quite figure out who they are. And suddenly all these people are living in one place, together. You have classes with them, you eat with them and you might even sleep in the same room as them. Some are good and some are bad but at the end of the day you’ll probably become friends with them.

1. Mama’s Boy

You know the guy who has never touched a washing machine and whose mom makes sure he always has more than enough money in his bank account.

2. The Foreigner

They live in America now but they weren’t born here and they're still adjusting to American culture, but you are so thankful to learn about their culture as well.

3. The Spoiled Princess

Similar to mama’s boy, but she also thinks the world revolves around her and does not feel the need to learn how to survive on her own.

4. The Alcoholic

No one knows when they started drinking, you just know that they haven’t stopped since you met them.

5. The Homebody

They live on campus Monday through Friday, but pack their car every weekend to go back home.

6. The Badass

You know the person who terrified you in high school? That person is somehow less scary in college.

7. The Flirt

They are always talking to someone, no matter when or where.

8. The Hipster

Their style is amazing although you struggle with their music.

9. Jesus Freak

JC is their #1 and they will let you know.

10. The Partier

Every weekend you know exactly what thy are up to.

11. The Potential Drop Out

You’ve never seen them pick up their backpack and it’s possible they haven’t been to class in a week.

12. The Stoner

Have you ever had a sober conversation with this person? Not sure. But at least their tapestry is cool.

13. The Try Hard

Yep they’re the person in the library all night. You want to be them but at the same time you don’t. You’re not to sure if it’s worth it.

14. The Mom/ Dad

They are always prepared. They are also always telling you how to improve yourself.

15. The Overachiever

Different from the try hard. This person does it all. They have great grades, a good social life and are involved in everything on campus. You’re not sure how they do it, you just observe them from afar.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
