Dorm life is weird. You get thrown in with a bunch of people from all walks of life who barely know each other and just get left there for the next eight months. It doesn't matter if you get along with the people next door or if you absolutely despise them. You're stuck, so you might as well embrace it. Here are fourteen types of people you'll find in your freshman dorm.

1. The Kids That Throw Parties in the Common Room at 4 am

Some people get wasted on the weekends, others party sober in the common room at 4 am on a Tuesday.

2. The People That Never Sleep

You know the type. They're in the same place at 3 in the morning that you saw them before dinner and somehow they NEVER look tired.

3. The Best Friends That Never Shut Up

The ones that are joking and giggly before their 8 am, in the bathroom, in the common room, in the hall long after quiet hours started....

4. The Person That's Always There But Doesn't Live There

Whether it's the boyfriend that never goes home or the friend from high school who should probably be paying room and board, you see them more often than some people who actually live there.

5. The Kid That Never Leaves Their Room

The type you see only in your hall and only for a split second before they disappear and lock themselves back in their room.

6. The RA You Only Ever Manage to Run Into When You're in a Towel

You'll almost never see your RA when you're fully clothed, completely sober, and in a solid state of mind. It's a proven fact.

7. The People You Won't Know Live There Until You See Them at a Hall Meeting in February

I swear to you. I still can't recognize some of the people that have lived here since move-in day.

8. The Guy That Always Blares His Music No Matter What Time it is

Usually the guy on the far end of the hall who's music you can hear word for word from your room anytime you want to nap.

9. The Girl That Tells You About Her Sex Life Every Time You See Her in the Bathroom

And it's never a girl you're close friends with.

10. The Guy That's Drunk at Least 4 Nights a Week

Sometimes he knocks on your door in the middle of the night just to talk about his feelings.

11. The Person That Always Sings in the Shower But isn't Any Good at it

Who are we to judge, though?

12. The Guy That's Always High

And he's always with his high friends.

13. The Person We All Know is Always Having Sex

I mean good for them... But do we have to hear about it?

14. The Unfortunate People Who Live Right Next to the Person Who's Always Having Sex

They're the ones we feel the most sorry for.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
