15 People You Meet In College

College is a time of change. In high school what you see if usually what you get but not in college. There are people trying to completely change who they are. There are people who probably should change who they are. Then there are people who you just can’t quite figure out who they are. And suddenly all these people are living in one place, together. You have classes with them, you eat with them and you might even sleep in the same room as them. Some are good and some are bad but at the end of the day you’ll probably become friends with them.

1. Mama’s Boy

You know the guy who has never touched a washing machine and whose mom makes sure he always has more than enough money in his bank account.

2. The Foreigner

They live in America now but they weren’t born here and they're still adjusting to American culture, but you are so thankful to learn about their culture as well.

3. The Spoiled Princess

Similar to mama’s boy, but she also thinks the world revolves around her and does not feel the need to learn how to survive on her own.

4. The Alcoholic

No one knows when they started drinking, you just know that they haven’t stopped since you met them.

5. The Homebody

They live on campus Monday through Friday, but pack their car every weekend to go back home.

6. The Badass

You know the person who terrified you in high school? That person is somehow less scary in college.

7. The Flirt

They are always talking to someone, no matter when or where.

8. The Hipster

Their style is amazing although you struggle with their music.

9. Jesus Freak

JC is their #1 and they will let you know.

10. The Partier

Every weekend you know exactly what thy are up to.

11. The Potential Drop Out

You’ve never seen them pick up their backpack and it’s possible they haven’t been to class in a week.

12. The Stoner

Have you ever had a sober conversation with this person? Not sure. But at least their tapestry is cool.

13. The Try Hard

Yep they’re the person in the library all night. You want to be them but at the same time you don’t. You’re not to sure if it’s worth it.

14. The Mom/ Dad

They are always prepared. They are also always telling you how to improve yourself.

15. The Overachiever

Different from the try hard. This person does it all. They have great grades, a good social life and are involved in everything on campus. You’re not sure how they do it, you just observe them from afar.

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.
