15 People You Will Meet In Your First Week At Emory

15. The overly hyper RA

It's move in day. It's over 100 degrees in the Hotlanta heat, and they will appear: the overly hyper RA, ready to help you move into your very first college dorm room. You will not understand how they can manage to be so hyper in this heat or this early. But do not worry, their excitement will not wane until Song Fest.

14. The person who is already drunk on move-in

Right after the overly-hyper RA leaves your dorm room, this lovely specimen will find its way in. They'll stumble in and tell you their name, but don't worry, they'll forget meeting you until the next frat party you see them at. You'll wonder how they're drunk at 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday, but you'll probably join them for a drink or two by the time the school year is over.

13. The person who is way too excited for Song Fest

Don't get me wrong. Song fest is awesome, and everyone should be excited about it. However, there's always gonna be that one kid who takes it too far. They will be screaming louder than your SAs about the formation and how you must hit every note to win. They'll be in the very front line of Song Fest formation, the very first kid you look for when you watch the Song Fest video later.

12. The drug addict

It will be the first week, yet this kid's room will already always be reeking of weed. The RAs have posted in the Facebook group at least three times already for the floor to stop smelling like weed, but nothing will work.

11. The overly driven kid

This kid is pre-med AND pre-business. They're also triple majoring in classics, English and biology. This kid will be weeded out by the weed-out classes and end up becoming a philosophy major by their second semester, but at least let them enjoy their little bubble of denial in the first week.

10. The girl who has a long distance boyfriend, but they're in an "open relationship"

There are an oddly large number of these the first week of school. Nine times out of 10, she won't tell you about the boyfriend until AFTER you two have already hooked up. But hey, to each their own. If they're happy like this, more power to them.

9. The overly religious girl

This girl has only been drunk one time, at her cousin's wedding when her uncle snuck her a few glasses of wine. Everything you do this girl considers a sin. She'll try to invite you to Bible study with her at least twice in the first week of school.

8. The kid whose parents obviously bought his way in

You'll sit next to this kid in class. He'll ask you so many dumb questions in the first class, you'll wonder how he even made it through kindergarten. He'll raise his hand and ask the professor what day the final exam is, even though it will be printed right in front of him. You'll come back to your dorm room with stories about what dumb question he asked in class almost every day.

7. The guy who is trying way too hard to lose his virginity

He thinks that college is like a bad Jonah Hill movie, and now that he's finally made it to college, he'll lose the infamous V card he's held onto for so long. He will try to flirt with girls at frat parties. You will watch, and it will be the single most uncomfortable moment in both your and his life. Don't worry, dude. You'll lose it one day. However, please don't try to use the corny pick-up line your father taught you. It's not gonna work.

6. The professor who thinks his course is the only one you're taking

This is actually almost every professor at Emory. The first day, you will have a 50-page reading assignment, 17 different textbooks needed for that class and six different term papers as well as a final. And this is your easiest class. Welcome to Emory. #top21

5. The senior who still lives in the frat house and tries to sleep with every freshman girl

He may succeed with you. It's nothing to be ashamed of. EVERY. SINGLE. FRAT HOUSE. has one of these. Don't ask me why. They are normally the nicest and sweetest guy in the frat. He'll always give you free alcohol and have a crazy story about the last girl he hooked up with.

4. The crazy one

You can spot them by the crazy eyes. These at first seem like the nicest and sweetest people you will ever meet. However, one day they snap, and you realize they are actually insane. You'll awake with them standing over your bed watching you sleep. Try to avoid at all cost.

3. "The one"

It will be your first night out, and you'll meet him walking down the row. He'll blow you away with these crazy stories. He'll promise to take you out on his yacht and you will be enamored with him for about 48 hours. You two will awkwardly hook up twice and then avoid each other for the rest of the school year.

2. Your future "best friend"

You two will be inseparable for about three days in the first week of school. They will probably be in your OL group. You'll go out once or twice in the first week of school, and then only see each other in MJQ bathroom where you will drunkenly scream, "OH MY GOD, WE HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN FOREVER," then make drunken plans to hang out soon. You two will never hang out again.

1. Your ACTUAL future best friend

Chances are, you'll probably meet them in your first week, too. The person who will be there for you through anything. The person to snap you back to reality when you're being insane and will always be down for a dance party in your dorm room when you're stressed. The person who will bring you soup when you're sick and alcohol when you need a drink. They're your person. And they're the person you can't wait to see the first week of your sophomore year as well.

Good luck, freshmeat. You're gonna need it.

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.
