8 Peanuts Characters You Meet in College

You've met them, you just didn't know you read their character in a comic strip once, too.

Now, this isn't a normal listicle that involves characters from your favorite philosophical comic strip centered around elementary school children. While these characterizations are based on the original characters, they're also adapted from my experiences with people I know and I find jazzy and whatnot. Cue that one song.



1. Lucy

Lucy is that pushy, but friendly person you're always able to have a good conversation with, whether they're belittling you or not. Lucy wants to get into the nitty gritty of any subject but if she gets uncomfortable or feels she shared too much, it's back to biting sarcasm and pulling footballs from under your poor, unassuming feet.

2. Linus

Linus is the philosophical one you can never really understand. He speaks in lofty verse that really hasn't been applied in conversation for maybe one hundred years. Also, bonus points if they're considering a divinity major.

3. Sally

Sally is the ditzy friend of yours who is unsure of her major and just about every thing else. She's smart, but not applying herself. She's passionate about a few issues that you don't know much about, and you don't think she does either.

4. Schroeder

The music major who for some reason, unbeknownst to you, rakes in the ladies or guys. They've always got a crowd, but you know them better than most, and they know music better than most. You always enjoy seeing others try to impress them with having heard the Nutcracker all the way through, and then their responding with the most obscure thing from that composer.

5. The Little Redheaded Girl

This is the girl/guy you've had one class with and can't get out of your brain. You like them, but you don't want to scare them away. They're nice from what you know, but you want to know more, but don't have the courage to ask them out.

6. Franklin

The arts major who isn't crazy. This is the most level-headed, smart person you know. You met them once and every time you've talked to them since, you've had some crazy deep conversation about god or religion or Nietzsche or Kafka or something of the sort. They've got your back when everyone else has gone out to party.

7. Pig Pen

The history major who isn't organized. At all. They know so much information about Mesopotamia that you've never even heard of. They're a slob, you dread going to their dorm room because you've been there once and think you saw a mouse crawl across the floor. So, you asked, and they told you that it's name was Gerald.

8. Charlie Brown

The kid who always has something go wrong through no fault of their own. They got their second ticket last week and this week they tried to pay it online and this week they found out that their identity was stolen because the website was fake and now their license has been taken because they didn't pay the ticket. But somehow they got a scholarship to your college.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
