8 Types Of People You'll Definitely Meet Freshman Year

College is a time for meeting so many new people, but these are eight of the most common personality types everyone encounters during their first year, and you may become any one of them at one point or another.

1. The Perfect Student

This person makes you hate yourself for not being able to keep up. No matter what, they always have everything under control. From all A's to always having their homework done on time, you know this person is some kind of superhuman.

2. The Extreme Procrastinator


This might be you (it's definitely me), but this person always waits until the absolute last minute to do anything. You may find them five minutes before class starts just now starting the homework. Though ALWAYS stressed out, they figure out a way to get everything done somehow.

3. The Partyer

It doesn't matter that it's some random Tuesday night, this person is going out somewhere. You're not sure if they actually ever go to class, or if they just sleep all day until the next party!

4. The Sleeper


Whether they come to class and sleep the whole time, or they just stay in their dorm and sleep right through class, you're don't know if this person is really EVER awake.

5. The Always Late Person

You're almost 100% positive every clock this person owns is set 15 minutes slow. It doesn't matter if it's an 8:00 am or a 2:00 pm class, they're going to be late.

6. The All-Nighter (Every Night)

This person is the exact opposite of the sleeper; you have actually never seen them sleep. They pull all-nighters every day of the week and usually do all of their homework VERY late at night. You're starting to think they are some kind of supernatural being that doesn't need sleep.

7. The Student-Athlete

Being a student-athlete, I can definitely relate to this one. Climbing the stairs to your second-floor class is enough pain on your sore body after leg day to make you want to cry. You may often see this person groaning in pain when trying to sit down in their seat for class.

8. The Best People You'll Ever Meet

The people you meet in college will most likely be your friends for life. Spending countless hours studying and hanging out with them will cultivate a bond so strong it is sure to last forever. You go through all of the struggles of college together and these people will always have your back.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
