Top 10 People You Meet in College
Mac Welch

There are many different people in many different schools across the nation. But regardless of where you go, there are a few people that you can find almost anywhere. And these are the best of the best:

10. The One Who Is Exploring Their Sexuality

Hey dude, no judgment. You wanna have sex with boys? Girls? In between? Often? Too often? Not often? Well, now that you're alone, go ahead.

9. The One You See On Move-In Day And Never Again

So you're moving in on the first day, you're scared about all the people you will meet. You find that one person that you click with. This person is so chill, hilarious and has the entire Harry Potter movie series. But, whether due to the fact they are an engineering major or they have a significant other that lives near campus, you don't see them again until graduation.

8. The Grad Student That Hits on Freshmen

"Oh, the fresh meat is here, and just in time for feeding. How easy would it be?" They must be impressed by the fact you're a grad student. How mature. What a learned potential mate. As long as they've had their 18th, do whatever you want. Just please don't be an asshole. (Although you kind of already are.)

7. The One Who Isn't Going to Their First Choice School

Oh, you're better than this school? Obviously not. You are here now, get over yourself and come to class.

6. The One Who Is In The Wrong Major And Doesn't Know It

Hey kid, ya know those awkward pauses after you voice your opinion in class? That is the entire class, including the professor, exchanging eye contact, while thinking the same thing: "this one's not gonna last." You're smart, but you mix about as well as Donald Trump and The White House.

5. The One Who Wants To Do It All

There are a ton of opportunities in college! All good! They're not meant to all be done simultaneously. I swear to you, with all my heart, you will not be succeeding in any of these things if your plan is to do them all.

4. The Questionably Gay Philosophy Major That Loves To Be On Their Soap Box

Just cause you're a philosophy major, doesn't mean you know the secrets of the universe. This one likes to shove their political opinions down your throat, and potentially something else. Either way, you do you! (But tone it down a notch, will you?)

3. The Private School Kid

WOW, THIS IS LIFE? Yes. Cool it. Yes, people party. Yes, people are messed up. No, not everyone believes in God. Yes, African-American people are real. No, I don't know if there's another party tonight.

2. The Secretly Famous Person

Ya know that person that didn't want to be found, but their past life snuck up on them? They were hiding from the spotlight, but it found them. Oh... you don't know who I'm talking about? Whoops... just forget about it, then.

1. The One Who Doesn't Go Here

Oh my gosh, that guy is so cool! What's their major? What dorm do they live in? What year are they? Nope. They're not one of you. You thought. The one person who is hiding amongst the crowd, but they don't actually go to school here. They don't go to school. Wanna know what they actually do? Hang out with you and your friends. Make sure to go to the dining hall to see if they have an I.D. Just a tip!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
