The 5 Types Of Friends You Need In College

College can be some of best years of your life if you surround yourself with the right people. Here are the five types of people I think you’ll need in college.

1. The Partying Friend


This is the friend you’ll never see doing homework. Sometimes you even question if they actually go to the same school as you. This friend helps remind you to enjoy college and not focus too much on school. This friend is good to have so you’re not sitting alone in your dorm on a Saturday night while everyone else is out having fun.

2.The “mom” friend

Did you cut yourself? Don’t worry this friend has Band-Aids on her. Feeling sick? She has medicine. Let’s face it, when you’re not around your actual mom as often this friend comes in handy. She’ll take care of you when you’re getting out of hand, and will always comfort you when you screw something up. She’s your college mom.

3. The studious friend


If you only have friends with partying friends, they won’t remind you to do your homework. Having studious friends always remind you to study and stay on top of your schoolwork. Plus if you’ve taken a class that they have already taken they can help you if you need it. Having a friend like this in your major is a plus.

4. The adventurous friend

This is the friend that’s always up to do anything at any time. You wanna go on a Wawa run at 3 in the morning? This friend will always be up for that. Wanna go on a hike? This friend is up for that. It’s good to have that spontaneous friend that gets you to act on impulse.

5. The Straightforward Friend

This friend tells you how it is. They are upfront and tell you when you’re acting irrational or being just plain stupid. You might get mad at this friend because they might not always say what you want to here. But their honesty can help you become a better person as a whole.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
