People in College

There are many different people you can meet in college.

People in College

In college, you meet all kinds of people that act, behave, and think differently. The group of amazing people that I've had the opportunity to study with really are quite a diverse crowd. The first set of polar opposites in the group would be political views. As many of us sat around the room on election night, there were many that were some happy, a few indifferent, and some unhappy about the results. The political views are just the beginning, though. The ideological beliefs of America also vary amongst the group.

One man believes the south and the confederacy shall rise again. He wears large belt buckles and chews dip, but, while a character, is one of the greatest guys anyone can ever meet.

One of the girls in the group supports our troops and the union more than any person I have ever met.

Despite these differing views of how the country should be kept, or rather separated, there has yet to be any clashes within the group. The majors range from Political Science to nursing and even a geology major (despite the success rate.) There are people that would keep to themselves, and there are also people that would rather email a priest to initiate a battle rather.

One woman disliked the priest injecting his political agenda into the homily, and she emailed him and began an argument.

While the group as a whole is rather dysfunctional, there is no group I'd rather be a part of to begin my college career. I would like to send a big shout out to all of them for staying up until 5 a.m. studying, helping me, and being just an all-around amazing group of people. Thank you all and let's have an amazing semester.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

With being a member of Greek life, you are going to come across people who HATE Greek life and who always want to say something negative towards it. If you're not a part of Greek life, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But maybe try and keep some of the not-so-nice comments to yourself.
