We All Have Multiple Personalities

It isn't just a mental disorder.

Have you ever noticed that you sometimes act a little differently dependent on who you're surrounded by? Would you party in front of your professors? Would you use only professional language around your best friends? Here's a list of some of the faces we all put on every day. Keep in mind, some of these may not apply to everybody, but I've found myself acting like a different person more and more depending on who is around me and how comfortable I am with them.

1. Mom and Dad

Okay, mom's and dad's are different for everybody. But let's be honest - you're not going to a rager with your mom anytime soon and you're definitely not gonna ask your dad what he thinks of your new crop top for a party next weekend.

2. Professionals/Bosses

Whenever you're going to work or going to an interview, we all put on a personality of poise and professionalism. From spoken word to body language, you become someone completely different when you're being interviewed or when you're at work.

3. Professors/Teachers

This is very similar to the face we put on for our professionals or bosses, but you just relate to school instead of work. When I'm talking to my choir teacher about music, I'm going to stick only to music unless he asks about something else. And even if he does ask, I'm going to keep it as short and to the point as possible because I know that he doesn't want to hear about my entire life.

4. People You Talk To

Ok - there are 3 different levels of friends: people you talk to, people you're friends with, and best-friends. This is people you talk to. People you say hi to every now and then or faces you recognize are people that you're going act differently around. Typically it's a half smile, maybe you say "hi" or maybe you just lift your hand in passing as a sign of hello. Either way, you're not going to start telling these people your life story.

5. Friends

Friends are those people that you've had some pretty cool conversations with; people you would would go out to dinner with just to gossip about the new Freshmen on campus; people that you'll giggle with and maybe have an inside joke or two. These people you're going to be a little more "you" with. You'll smile more, maybe slip up and use a few cuss words, and just be friendly.

6. Best-friends

THESE BITCHES. These are the people that you're going to be either almost completely you with or totally yourself around. These are the people that you trust to drive you home after a long night of partying. These are the people that will hold you on your worst day and let you literally cry on their shoulder. You are truly yourself (or almost truly yourself) around these people.

7. Your Car

Ok, hear me out on this one. For me personally, I am only truly myself in my car. I am alone and I can be whoever I want to be. I can use as much dirty language as I want; I can sing as loud as I want to and dance however I choose; I can cry freely. Sure there are other drivers looking at me, but my car is my sanctuary. My car is where my entire personality comes out. I don't have to put on any kind of front.

These are just 7 faces we put on for the world. What other faces do you find yourself putting on?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
