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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
