The 9 Types Of People On A College Campus

1. The person who is involved in EVERYTHING

First off, how on earth do you have the time? Most people can barely get through college as it is, but there are a few mystical creatures that can somehow handle being a part of every club. These are the people who are going to be running the world; I know it.

2. The Hippies


Every school has them. There is always that group of people on the quad engaging in some illegal puffing and passing, blasting music and possibly seen with a hula hoop or doing extreme yoga. At least one of them is never wearing shoes—ever. How they do it I have no idea but campus wouldn’t be the same without them.

3. The Frat Guy


“Who do you know here?” is a phrase heard amongst almost every college student. Whether you’ve seen these guys roaming campus in their blazers and pins or yelling at you to cram pie in their faces for a good cause; frat guys are everywhere. You will most likely find them denying your guy friends entrance to their parties.

4.The Athletes


These ones are hard to miss. Athletes tend to travel in large gangs and are usually seen wearing their team apparel. The team that wakes up at 5 am for practice together, stays together.

5. The Skateboarders


Whether it be a skateboard or a dreaded long board, there is nothing worse than trying to walk to class and almost getting run over. Usually found in the most inconvenient walkways, these guys (or gals) are pretty harmless, unless you get in the way of one of their tricks. The best thing about seeing a skateboarder is knowing that spring is near—because who wants to skateboard in the winter?

6. The Nursing Students


Much like a vegan, you will know you a nursing student within the minute you talk to them. You’ll usually see them sporting scrubs and possibly crying in the library. Cut them some slack though, they'll probably end up saving your life one day.

7. The Party Animal

Either you know one of them, or you are one. These are the people who you often see Snapchats of at a bar every night of the week. How they manage to sleep, do homework, or stay sane? No one knows, not even them.

8. The Netflix Junkies


These are the people who never want to go out and would much rather stay in on a Friday night and catch up on their shows, and I don’t blame them. College is exhausting, it's nice to unwind and binge with a good Netflix series.

9. The Gym Rats


These guys are usually spotted walking around campus with their gym bags and protein blenders. Whether you are at the gym are not, they are completely unavoidable. They will only talk to you about leg day and "gains".

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
