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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
