10 People You'll Engage Upon At College
Rob Bye

It's that time of the year again for us college students to venture back onto our respective campus.

For those freshman, the first day can seem like a traffic jam congested with people. Or if this isn't your first rodeo on campus, we got the whole routine mastered like the back on our hand. No matter how long you've been on campus, these 10 people will venture into your life if they haven't already.

I challenge you when classes start to try and find these 10 people!

1. The Next Great Genius

These students only see college as a pit stop on the greatness train. Nothing is going to stop them from getting that 4.0 GPA they must need. They aren't bothered by the numerous campus events, parties or petty classes. The worst part about these people is you don't truly know who they are in the class until you meet them. Be on the outlook for those people who come and go and when asked what they got on a test they give you a puzzled look like you just disgraced them for not assuming they got an "A."

2. The Vampire

Where he/she looms will be a complete mystery to you. The only time they'll make an appearance is at the mandatory meetings during the first week of classes. He always stays in his room. Is he actually studying? Or playing the latest nerdy PC game? That's the real question. He'll try sneaking into the bathroom without nobody noticing. He won't get up until noon at the earliest. If you can catch a glimpse of him it's a rarity that you should take for granted.

3. The Sorority Girl

This girl will never seen alone. She always has a flock of wanna-bees buzzing around her wishing they could be just like her. It looks like a paparazzi following around a celebrity. Make sure you don't sit behind a group of girls in class because you're guaranteed to be hooked into their drama, that goes for guys also. If you are able to spot her alone and try to talk to her, good luck getting her declawed from her phone.

4. Mr. Hot Shot

The dude who thinks he has all the swag. He will be wearing a sweater vest, boat shoes or a dress shirt almost every day. Or he will have the latest fashion trend attire. He is the guy that every girl becomes dreamy about. Don't forget about the long board attached at their hip.Good luck catching him alone on campus because he will find the secret cool spots on campus.

5. The Participator

This is the one student you won't forget in every class you take. You will know who this person is by the end of the first class. They will have numerous questions just about the syllabus. Even if the professor tries to ignore this person, they'll keep their hand raised until the professor finally gives in. Let's hope they aren't a member of a gender, cultural or political group because they'll always find a way to take things to extreme proportions.

6. The Athlete

These guys and girls are just as bad as the sorority girls. You won't see an athlete along, they always flock together. They use the excuse that it's "team bonding". Even in classes there will be a couple of athletes siting together. You can usually talk to them and who knows possibly become a friend of theirs. If you do take advantage and hope they invite you to their parties which you should feel like a god/goddess about.

7. The Creeper

You'll see this guy pop up at every event that you are at. He's usually the one at the parties that sneaking around putting his arms around girls acting like their best friend. Nobody knows how old this guy is because his age can't be identified. Try not to get involved with this person as they are usually the ones everyone talks about.

8. The Party Animal

You may think that you're cool going out to parties a couple times a week, but you don't got anything on the party animal. This person is drinking 7 days a week. They don't have a clue what a hangover is because they are always drunk. They show up to class right on time and get on by the last drop of alcohol in the bottle. They know everybody everywhere no matter what the situation. They are the ones famous for the chuck and rally slogan.

9. The Couple

This isn't the usual couple patrolling around campus, this couple takes it to an extreme. They are in everything together. You'll never see them alone, NEVER. It's like they are attached at the hip. If you become friends with one, you better become friends with the other so that you can stick around.

10. The Awesome Professor

There is always that one professor who is so cool. They give tons of extra credit, always talk about their college day stories. They try to fit in with their students and it works great. They understand the true reality of a college student and there needs to be more of them on campus.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
