14 Different Kinds Of Freshmen

Every school year, new freshmen come to college, and every school year, the same types of behaviors and personas are displayed in these freshmen.

1. The Know-It-All

This freshman has studied the campus since the day they chose to attend it and acts as if they know everything and anything about the school. It's day one, and they are acting like it's their senior year. They even try to correct upperclassmen. Being the underdog is extremely hard for these freshmen.

2. The Hopelessly Scared

This freshman is just all-around horrified. They are in no way prepared for college. What to get in the dining hall? Why are there so many people? Who will I sit with? Where is my mom?

3. The One Addicted to Frat Boys

This freshman has had her mind on frat boys since high school, and she is not slowing down now. You'll see her as the only girl in a swarm of pledges thinking this is her key to success and becoming a perfect party-goer. Forget rushing, this girl is only interested in the boys.

4. The One Who Dresses Up Every Day

Every. Single. Day. This freshman takes no days off. Every day is a photo-op, and campus is their runway. Fifty degrees with 20 mph winds? No problem; their winter coat will look great over their dress.

5. The One Who Asks 20 Questions in Class

These freshmen are my least favorite. They are so worried about missing any information that they ask questions right after the professor has answered them. One hand is constantly in the air, and the other is writing vigorously in their agenda. While the rest of the class uses the syllabus, this freshman needs everything spelled out for them.

6. The One Wearing Her Sister's Sorority Letters

We aren't sure if this girl is even rushing, but she has been repping KD since she came to class the first day. The back of her shirt says a different college, so you know she doesn't belong to your school's Greek Life, but she will never rush or wear anything besides her older sister's old sorority T-shirts.

7. The One Who Thinks She's Still Queen B From High School

Remember when Blair Waldorf went to college and tried to find new minions immediately? This girl is her. From the moment she walks in the room, it is obvious she is feeling herself, and the group of scared girls sitting around her confirms our prediction that we are dealing with a former popular girl in denial of her new settings.

8. The One Who Still Uses the Campus Map

Silent prayer for this student. You catch them at the map on campus all of the time, and all you want to do is get on their schedule and show them the way to class to save them and yourself the discomfort.

9. The One Who Comes in Late and Leaves Early

This person has no intention of actually going to class. They make a half-ass effort to show up, but they are never on time and never stick around very long in class. They party seven days a week, and this newfound freedom does not include class.

10. The One Who Brings Every Book to Class

Their backpack weighs 50 pounds at all times because they fail to read the syllabus that tells them what they need each day for class.

11. The One Who Never Gets Clued-In

This freshman doesn't understand how college works from the beginning of the semester until the end. They are constantly trying to keep up but failing, or not trying at all. Either way, they have no idea what they are doing.

12. The One Who Never Shows Up Except on Test Day

This freshman is even worse than the freshman who shows up for 30 minutes. This student doesn't show up AT ALL besides on test days. Just because attendance isn't mandatory does not mean that you will know what to expect out a college level test.

13. The One Who Wears an Obscene Number of College-Related Items

We get it. You attend this college. So do we. We do not need to see you in your Kennesaw jacket, hat, backpack and lanyard. While I'm sure the school appreciates the free advertising, I'm personally concerned that you think you are going to get kidnapped or lost and want people to know where to return you. Thank you for the crazy amount of proof that you attend our school.

14. The One Who Won't Let Go of High School

This freshman is still wearing their letterman jacket from high school. Proudly, I might add. Underneath this letterman, a senior shirt from their high school can normally be found. We are happy you have pride for your old school, but you are at your new school now. It's time to keep those senior T-shirts for sleeping only.

Let me know if I missed any, and good luck to all freshmen this year! I'm rooting for all of you to not be these people.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
