It's gonna get interesting.

College is a place full of diversity, so that means you will run across some very interesting people during your time spent at a University. And when I say interesting, I mean it. Here are the 10 types of people you are going to meet in college:

1. The over-involved person

This person thrives off of being busy or they are just trying to fluff up their resume with extracurriculars. Anytime you see them they are running off to another class, work or a club meeting.

2. The hipster

This person is all about a chill vibe. Anytime you see them they have a coffee in hand and 9 times out of 10 they are wearing a combo of grey, black and white.

3. The hippie

Hippies are so hard not to love. Anytime you see them they'll probably be preaching about climate change or passing out pamphlets on why weed should be legalized everywhere.

4. The good girl gone bad

The first weekend of school she stayed in a read a good book. By weekend three she is downing shots like a pro and hooking up with all the frat boys like its her job. You go Glen coco!

5. The hookup you see everywhere

One night stands are exactly as they sound- only for one night. You thought that would be the case for this one too, but you see them everywhere you go. At the coffee shop, the library, class ... you didn't even know they were in the same class as you. It is sooo awkward.

6. The frat star

You'll probably see him walking around with his brothers in a pair of khakis and boat shoes. They look so put together and you'll wonder when you will ever get your life together like that.

7. The gym rat

They take fitness to another level. If they aren't in class then they are at the gym or eating some protein.

8. The couple attached at the hip

They don't leave each others side- literally, they physically dont leave each others side. It's cute at first but after a few days you are just annoyed you can't talk to one without the other.

9. The person who never goes to class

You aren't exactly sure why they pay $1,300 for a class that they never come to. And when you find out they are still passing you aren't exactly sure why that can't be you.

10.The person who always comes to class hungover after a Tuesday night

At CMU, everyone hits up Pints on Tuesday night but some people go way harder... and they do it every week. Anytime you see them at your 10 a.m. Wednesday class they look like they are a zombie — a very hungover zombie.

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.
