While this list may vary slightly from campus to campus, there generally are 6 generic types of people you encounter during your first week at school, whether it is your first year at the school of you’ve been there for a while already.

1. The Straight-A No-nonsense Students

They have all their school supplies ready and in tow, have already purchased all their materials for their classes, and are the first ones in class. Unfailingly. You'll ususally find them in the front of the classroom, color-coded post-it notes in front of them, asking the questions no one else thinks of.

2. The Fashionistas

Always dressed to impress, these individuals never come to school looking like they just rolled out of bed. They always put in extra time and effort to look good.

3. The Athletes/Workoutaholics

These people love working out and are not ashamed of it. Even though many of them will dressed in regular t-shirt and jeans ensemble, a lot of them sport their workout clothes around campus.

4. The Social Butterfly

The outgoing ones are usually the ones who initiate conversation with a total stranger. They'll find a way to strike up conversation with whoever, and they tend to have infectious personalities, and radiate confidence and positivity. You never see this person with just one group of friends. They're everywhere with everyone.

5. The One-Timers/Temporary Friends

You know when you go to a class and you meet that one person that you strike up a pretty decent conversation with, and when you leave class you feel great, like you just made a new friend, but when you come back to that class, it's like that conversation never happened? Maybe you even last through the semester, and the next semester it's like they never even existed. Yup, that's this person. It happens quite often, though most people just move on from it.

6. The Boarders

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
