5 Types Of People You Will Meet In College

If you happen to fit my description and feel offended, please don’t. This is all for fun and games. Enjoy!

1. The critic:

We all know that one person that loves to criticize anything and everything. I have encountered so many critics in my BA as well as Ma program. These are the last kind of people you would want to work with. We all know that constructive criticism is always a good thing, but usually these critics can’t tell the difference between that and the destructive one. If you hang out with this kind of people, they will become the voices that attempt to stop you from doing anything.

2. The negative one:

If I were you I would stay as far away from this kind of people. I had one friend who always found a way to be negative about everything he did, and soon enough I realized that I started projecting a little bit of that negativity as well. I started questioning the things that are of great importance to me wondering if there was a point to everything we do. This has sent me into a vicious circle of wanting to do so much but never trying because at the end of the day nothing mattered.

3. The partier:

Personally, I love this kind of people. They are usually always up for a good time and all about being in the moment. However, being with them all the time can be a bit tiring, especially in times of pressure. If you are this kind of person or know someone who is, be sure not to let the partying spirit take away from the school spirit. Work hard first, then play hard.

4. The lazy one:

Disclaimer: On behalf of lazy people, I would like to say that we’re not all that bad. These people are usually the ones who leave everything until the last minute. They work well under pressure (mostly), can find creative shortcuts and are great for movie and snack recommendations. Now, beware not to get influence by the laziness, but do trust in their choice of snacks.

5. The eager:

Their favorite thing to ask is usually “what’s in it for me?” They are usually down for anything, but only if they can get something out of it. I like to think of them as future business people. Their time is money, and they will not spend it on things that add nothing to their day, perspective or pocket. I appreciate this kind of people but sometimes, it is good to do things just for the sake of doing them.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
