The 5 Kinds Of People You Meet In Your Life

In This Article:


1. The one who makes you love life.

This one is a special person. He or she is either a childhood friend or someone you met so recently, it doesn't even seem real. There is no in between. This person has either been in your life so long that you don't know how to live without them, or they came into your life at the perfect time. This person knows how to make you laugh so hard when you don't even want to smile. They're always so happy, and their energy just rubs off on you. You two go on the best of adventures together. Protect this person at all costs. They deserve it.

2. The one who makes you love yourself.

This one is someone you didn't even know you needed in life. Sure, you think you're an okay person, but you know you could do better with yourself. Actually, sometimes you don't even think you're an okay person. Sometimes you dislike yourself, hate yourself even. This person, once again either an old friend or a recent friend, comes in and not only tells yourself that you're loved, they show it to you. And time after time, you start to realize maybe you deserve it, and maybe you should start loving yourself too. Love this person back at all costs.

3. The one you aren't really close with but still enjoy.

Everyone in your life can't be your best friend, and you can't be everyone's best friend. Still, there's at least one person in your life that you aren't really close with anymore, or never to begin with, but somehow you would literally die for them. And somehow you know they would do the same. It's so weird, but you don't question it. You know they've always got your back, and so you make sure to always have theirs. This person makes you realize the importance of true, solid friendships. Be grateful for this person. Help them whenever you can.

4. The one who wasn't meant to stay in your life.

We all have this person. The person who we thought was going to be here forever and always, to the end of time. Maybe it was a family member, a friend, or a lover. Something happened. Maybe it was a fight. A breakup. A death. A falling out. Whatever it was, it was what you least expected. This is the person who loved you and who you loved back. You still think about this person a lot. You think of all the good times you had, and wonder "why" and "what if" every single day. This person was meant to teach you something in life. It sucks, but you're a stronger person without them, and that's what they would've wanted.

5. The one who makes you a different person.

We all have this person too, unfortunately. The one who hurts you so mad that you have to break yourself down into pieces before you can build yourself back together. This person hurt you. So much that you didn't think you could get through it. Once again, this could be a friend, family member, or lover, but it hurt all the same. This could even be the same person as #4. You are better now. Stronger. Healthier. And you got through it with the help of #1-3. Protect yourself. Love yourself. Be grateful for yourself.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
