6 People You Meet At Auburn

Or any college really.

6 People You Meet At Auburn
Anna Lemus

College is all about meeting tons of new people and making new friends. If you go to a large college (AKA a college with more than 25,000 students like Auburn), you will definitely encounter tons of new people, and you will meet the following six people.

1. The obvious freshman

There's a difference between a regular freshman and the obvious freshman. You've seen them on campus. They dressed up on the first day of class. They're always walking around with a map of campus on their phone, and if their class starts in less than five minutes, you better believe they'll be sprinting to class.

2. The girl who is in love with her sorority.

DISCLAIMER: Before I say anything else, let me say there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. I'm just writing what I've seen on campus. Sorority girls are actually some of the nicest girls I've met, and a lot of my good friends are in sororities.

You've seen her; don't deny it. The girl that walks around with her letters on a hat and big t-shirt and her *insert sorority name here* loves the Tigers button on her backpack. Again, nothing wrong with it. I've just seen so many of these girls in my classes I had to give them a shout out.

3. The person you're pretty sure lives in the library.

OK, so they're actually was someone that lived in RBD a couple years ago, but this isn't what I'm talking about. It's the person you see there every time you go to the library, and it really makes you wonder if they ever go back to their dorm/apartment.

4. The person who never shows up to class unless there is a test.

In all of my classes, there is a large group of these people. When you have the first test, the class seems to grow, and you see people you've never seen before. Some of them even have the boldness to take your unassigned assigned seat, and you're just like:

5. The person you've sat next to all semester, but you still don't know their name.

It doesn't matter that you sit next to them every MWF or TR or that you always complain about that class with them. It was acceptable to ask their name the first couple weeks of class, but now the semester is halfway over, and it would be awkward to ask. If you do end up asking their name, though, you might have a life long friend.

6. Your best friend

This is probably the most important one. This is the person that will be with you through it all, whether it's studying in the library at 2 A.M. or eating pizza in your PJ's at 2 P.M. If you don't meet any of these other people at college, I highly encourage you to find a best friend.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
