8 Peanuts Characters You Meet in College

You've met them, you just didn't know you read their character in a comic strip once, too.

Now, this isn't a normal listicle that involves characters from your favorite philosophical comic strip centered around elementary school children. While these characterizations are based on the original characters, they're also adapted from my experiences with people I know and I find jazzy and whatnot. Cue that one song.



1. Lucy

Lucy is that pushy, but friendly person you're always able to have a good conversation with, whether they're belittling you or not. Lucy wants to get into the nitty gritty of any subject but if she gets uncomfortable or feels she shared too much, it's back to biting sarcasm and pulling footballs from under your poor, unassuming feet.

2. Linus

Linus is the philosophical one you can never really understand. He speaks in lofty verse that really hasn't been applied in conversation for maybe one hundred years. Also, bonus points if they're considering a divinity major.

3. Sally

Sally is the ditzy friend of yours who is unsure of her major and just about every thing else. She's smart, but not applying herself. She's passionate about a few issues that you don't know much about, and you don't think she does either.

4. Schroeder

The music major who for some reason, unbeknownst to you, rakes in the ladies or guys. They've always got a crowd, but you know them better than most, and they know music better than most. You always enjoy seeing others try to impress them with having heard the Nutcracker all the way through, and then their responding with the most obscure thing from that composer.

5. The Little Redheaded Girl

This is the girl/guy you've had one class with and can't get out of your brain. You like them, but you don't want to scare them away. They're nice from what you know, but you want to know more, but don't have the courage to ask them out.

6. Franklin

The arts major who isn't crazy. This is the most level-headed, smart person you know. You met them once and every time you've talked to them since, you've had some crazy deep conversation about god or religion or Nietzsche or Kafka or something of the sort. They've got your back when everyone else has gone out to party.

7. Pig Pen

The history major who isn't organized. At all. They know so much information about Mesopotamia that you've never even heard of. They're a slob, you dread going to their dorm room because you've been there once and think you saw a mouse crawl across the floor. So, you asked, and they told you that it's name was Gerald.

8. Charlie Brown

The kid who always has something go wrong through no fault of their own. They got their second ticket last week and this week they tried to pay it online and this week they found out that their identity was stolen because the website was fake and now their license has been taken because they didn't pay the ticket. But somehow they got a scholarship to your college.

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.
