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

Need I say more?

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.
