College is a huge transition for anyone whether they want to admit it or not. People from diverse backgrounds come together to share ideas, living space, and memories. Here are the 18 people you are bound to meet while you're there.

1. The athlete

You will barely see this person outside of classes, but you will be there to support them at every game! You’ll be the loudest one in the stands!

2. The ladies man

This guy will have all the girls on campus in love with him, and all their mothers.

3. The world traveler

Did you know they went abroad? Of course you do. Are you jealous? A little bit.

4. The one who never studies but still gets As

You literally will never seen them studying, but somehow they still make insanely good grades.

5. The rich one

Craving Chinese food on a Sunday night? This person will lend you some money to make sure you’re not starving while living that poor college life.

6. The jokester

Anytime you’re down you can always go to them for a nice pick me up even if they are a little down too.

7. The badass feminist

Giphy

This is someone who isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right and will be one of the leading motivators.

8. The partier

Don’t even bother going into their room after 9pm on the weekends because they probably won’t be there. They also make sure that they have the hangout room during the week.

9. The roommate

You wouldn’t even be friends if you weren’t already friends with their roommate. However, you couldn’t imagine your life without them now.

10. The friend you never saw coming

You will meet in the most random way, but they will become one of your closest friends.

11. The child in a grown up body

Have you ever seen a 19 year old who looks like they can easily pass for 24? Well, you will.

12. The hometown lover

Their hometown is a point of pride for them. You will know their favorite spots in town before even visiting.

13. The sheltered one

They will be a little shy and sheltered coming into college, but the new environment will open their eyes to a lot.

14. The sweetheart

This person is someone who is always there to listen to any problem you have, will give you great hugs, and always will put others before them self.

15 and 16. The couple

They will be your college couple goals! You may see them apart a few times, but they are so good together that you won’t even mind.

17. The best friend

Giphy

This will be the person that your soul finds. The person who will one day be at your wedding and see your kids. Don’t let this person go.

18. The true you

College is a time to learn about yourself without having your past define your relationships. No one knows anything about your past and you can truly be yourself.

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.

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.
