The Six People You Meet In College

In college you will meet a variety of people who are all just trying to get by. As college students we have a couple things in common: we're poor, tired, and just trying to be productive with our lives. However, there are always those very specific types of people we will all run into, or become, on our college campus.

1.The Rowdy Frat Guy Who Just Wants To Get Laid

I want to disclose that not all fraternity brothers are as douchey and disgusting as you see on TV. However, I can tell you from experience that there are those few fraternity brothers that make it their mission to get laid often and laid well. There's nothing wrong with these fellas wanting to get their freak on with every girl on campus. It's all in good fun, but we can only hope that they're at least wrapping their gifts... if you know what I mean.

2. The Strong Liberal Who Always Starts A Political Argument At Dinner

We all know this person, or in my case you are this person unfortunately. With the political tension that we've seen with this last election, it's not surprising that arguments over political views have been on the rise. Some liberals will stop at nothing to get their point across, even if it means yelling at the dinner table. But it's college; this is where liberals are born and bred (so get used to it)! And beware because not all liberals wear rainbow t-shirts and glasses.

3. The Republican Who Can Be Found Arguing With Said Liberal

Finding a republican on a college campus can be rare, but do not underestimate the power of these diamonds in the rough. They are more head strong than your most dedicated liberal, and they can always be found arguing with the aforementioned group from above. The college republicans are hard to find because in my experience they take the form of some forward thinking women. But nonetheless, I have managed to have civil conversations with my republican friends, and we still talk after.

4.The Stay-Up-Late-And-Study-ers

As surprising as it may be, there are a few college students who still go to school to learn. If you run into a Stay-Up-Late-and-Study-er, just back away slowly and leave them alone. Trust me; they have been studying that same chemistry unit for four hours straight and have consumed WAY too much caffeine. They can typically be found in the library, near the barista, and all buildings that stay open 24 hours.

5. The Girls That Just Want To Have Fun

These lovely girls are drawn to the fraternity houses like moths to flames. They're loud, and they like to drink like monsters. However, most of them are passed out after two drinks. Every song that comes on is their jam, and they will grind and twerk on anyone or anything with a pulse. Their goal is to have a good time but not remember any of it in the morning.

6. The “I Just Want To Sleep”-ers

These beautiful creatures are always sleeping. You won't find them out at parties on the weekend because they'll be busy taking a nap. They might oversleep for a class every now and again, or skip lunch so that they can catch a few z's before their next class. Either way if you ever run into one of these folks, you'll be amazed at their ability to still be tired even after sleeping for eight full hours and taking several naps.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
