All The Different People You Meet In Class

The first thing to know about college classes is they are so much better than high school classes. Every person around you is different, and for the most part, they are all new people you haven't ever met before. There are several types of people you'll meet in your classes throughout college, whether they're huge lectures with hundreds of people or smaller classes with 20 people.

The person you see everywhere and have no idea who they are:

When you first see this person, you won't think much of it. Then you see them in your next class, in the dining hall, and the library. Basically, everywhere you go, this person is there, but you have no idea who they are.

The person sleeping through the entire lecture:

You look over in class, and this person is lounged back, totally asleep. Every class, they show up just to sleep it out. Attendance isn't even collected, so why are you even showing up?

The person who only shows up for exams and the final:

For the most part, you sit by the same people and see the same people every class. Your huge lecture hall is only half filled for lectures. But then exam day hits, and the hall is jam-packed. People are stealing your unassigned seat and ready to take the test. How are you only showing up for the final?

The person who somehow knows the answer to every question:

For every question the professor asks, no matter how big or small, the same person is quick to throw their hand in the air with an answer. How do you know so much about a basic, introductory core class?

The person who shares their own experiences and asks too many questions:

There is always that one person who has to raise their hand and share there own long story to the class. Nobody cares about your own version of the professor's example. The same person will always be asking in-depth questions. They read too deep into things in front of 100 plus students who are trying to get through the long lecture.

The person who needs to eat a huge meal in the middle of class:

There will be that person who brings food to class. For the entire class, you'll be forced to hear them crunching their food, and also smelling their food. You'll be left disgusted or hungry yourself.

Then there is you, left asking yourself why you even rolled out of bed to come to this class. You should have just slept in, but instead, you're forced to interact with and be around all the people in your classes.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
