We see them on campus all the time. We silently stereotype them as we walked past them walking to class or the first day of classes. It’s the types of guys we see on our college campuses. Each college has thousands of students and there are so many ways to categorize the males students we see. It’s hard not to deny that we’ve all seen these kinds of guys on campus. Sometimes it’s easier to spot some more than others, but some of extremely easy to spot solely based on their attire.

Here are the top 6 kinds of guys you'll see trolling around your college campus.

1. The Frat Guy

He owns and wears an endless amount of sorority shirts with khaki shorts and New Balance shoes. He is usually accompanied by one of his “frat bros” or a girl he’s interested in. His favorite word is “bro.”

2. The Pledge

If there are frat bros on campus, chances are you’re gonna spot some pledges as well. He’s easy to spot and is usually wearing something out of the ordinary on, like a powderpuff backpack, while wearing a full suit every day.

3. The Hipster

He’s usually wearing a flannel and trendy circular glasses while carrying his signature coffee mug. He’s probably an English major and works for your campus newspaper or local coffee shop.

4. The Outdoor Guy

Again, he's usually wearing a flannel. He probably goes rock climbing or hiking in his spare time. He’s wearing hiking boots to class with his Camel backpack.

5. The Athlete

You can always spot this guy because he’s repping his sport 24/7. From the t-shirt to sweatpants to the backpack, you can always tell what sport he plays. He’s also surrounded by at least 3 other buddies who are on that same athletic team.

6. The Dressed Up Guy

He wears khaki pants and a brown belt with a school polo tucked in, topped off with a nice pair of loafers. This guy sits in the front of the classroom and answers all the questions. He probably gets straight A’s without trying and has been on the dean’s list since pre-K.

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.
