1. The Burnout: You can spot them from about row away.  Although they’re not dressed as profoundly as a hipster, they still don’t look quite far from homeless either. 

2. The Sorority Girl: Theyrun in packs and it's guaranteed that combined, they are wearing a t-shirt in every color Comfort Colors has to offer. They will be reminiscing about endless social themes and comparing their Lilly planners. You’ll love to hate her ability to present herself as totally nonchalant, yet put together. 

3.

 The Granola: They will normally be sporting Chacos with a Nalgene water bottle in hand and NorthFace backpack on. Not to mention the Bear Grylls hairstyle. 

4. The Athlete: The not so subtle attire of red, white and black along with a coveted GA backpack. Attached will probably be a tag with their name and jersey number attached to it.
 

5. The Groupie: Or wannabe that tends to linger strategically within earshot and in the potential project partner around an athlete.  

6. The Frat Star: Sporting some variation of brown loafer with no socks on and more thigh exposure than a pair of high waisted cutoffs. He might try to lecture you about how his most recent experience of taking a beer to drink while simultaneously showering changed his life.

7.  The Late One: Without fail the same person walks in 10 minutes late to the lecture, and forces the entire row to curl into their chairs so they can seat in the conveniently located very middle seat.

8. The Strictly Test Day Student: ... so where did you come from? 

9. The Dog Handler: You have seen the yellow velcro vested puppies around campus being walked by these people. They must be unaware that the entire student body is jealous of them. 

10. The Dress Up: If they look this good for class, what do they have saved to wear downtown tonight?  

11. The TA Lover: The prestige held by a TA does not directly correlate with their hotness level, a belief held by some.  

12. The Late Nighter: This person always has some sort of tell-tell sign that they were in a bar until last call. They might have disheveled hair or smeared makeup. 

13. The Fitness Freak: With bulging muscles they carry around their jugs of water. Female versions are normally wearing spandex.

14. The Flirter: Incessant in the pursuit of attention from the other sex. The constraints of a lecture class holds no power over them. The Flirter may or may not eventually evolve into the Mr. or Mrs. Degree holder. 

15. The Hipster: Glasses with slightly oversized frames, flannel, converse with every possible combination of clothing. 

16. The 7th Year: Oh yeah I’ve heard this class is easy… except I failed it twice, once online and once in lecture, but that was back when I didn’t care.

17. The Mrs. Degree: Pays enough attention to get by on the grading scale, but is a hawk when it comes to scoping out husband material.

18. 

The Politically Correct Student: Their backpack has more campaign slogan buttons than you do game day buttons...yet they hold no authoritative positions in SGA or other delegating clubs.

19. The Over-Achiever: These students have the organized binder, neat notes and post-it noted books.  

20. The Terry Kid: Always making business references, often times sees himself as right. Has a big man on campus attitude… we all know a few.   

21. The Stresser: The Girl or guy that’s always at whit’s end whether it’s with their relationship problems, stressed out from classes, grad school or the potential of graduating without a job.

22. The Slacker Genius: How do you have a 4.0 when you go out every night and watch as much Netflix as the rest of us??   

23. The International: UGA has a great reputation internationally which brings a ton of students from around the world to our campus.  

24. The Couple: Whether they are holding hands on campus, or not you know they are together. They can also be seen waiting outside eachothers classes. 

25: The Facebook Girl: They just come to class for the free wifi.  

26. The Adult: That awkward moment when a 45 year old asks if you want to meet after class to study, is it acceptable? Normal? Too weird? Do you know my mom? 

27. The Average: I think you could have been in one of my classes or not, maybe even went to my high school. I don’t think I know you, but you look like every background character in a movie I’ve ever seen. 

28. The Art Student: Always has a smell of charcoal, ink and paint about them.

29. The Drama Kid: Normally relates everything back to a musical or play.  Probably made a scene in the SLC as a marketing ploy to get people to come to their shows. 

30. The UGA for Life Guy: We are all at least a little bit partial to the Dawgs, but this dude takes it to the next level. His whole family went to this school, he has his own tailgate on campus, season tickets (not student), and only owns pieces of clothing with the Georgia G on it.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
