Whether you're a freshman, senior, or an 85-year-old man who decided to reignite his passion for theory through a philosophy degree, if you're in college, you have Facebook. Moreover, if you're in college and have a Facebook, you're bound to have several types of Facebook friends that are just always on your news feed. Whether it's a Saturday night at 11:30 p.m. or a Tuesday afternoon at 2:00, these people just never seem to live their lives off of social media.

1. The Promoter

There are the facey ones who get 600 likes on a promo post, then there are the annoying ones who work for that one club nobody goes to yet, it constantly has random events you would never even consider attending.

2. The Dog Person

We all know that one guy or gal that seems to have an endless supply of puppies climbing on stairs or cuddling with babies. Some make us laugh, some make us cry, but all of them leave us questioning whether or not the person actually has a dog or not.

3. The Person Who's Always Raising Philanthropy Money

Whether Dance Marathon is 11 months away or currently happening, this person never stops fundraising. They're probably in the comma club every single year and they may even be a morale captain. Regardless, this person almost never posts anything unrelated to fundraising.

4. "Anyone wanna talk?"

This may be a boy who used to ask you for nudes in middle school or someone in your Political Science class you met doing a group project, but either way, you never see them the same way after one of these statuses.

5. The Chain Post Girl

"Truth is!!", "Describe me in a gif," "Which color palate would I be?". Every day, it gets more and more creative and leaves you questioning who truly took the time to create the original chain post. "Which sidewalk crack would I be?" Are you actually posting this right now? Honestly salty that these people still get better grades than me sometimes. Keep living your best life, girl.

6. The Person Who Occasionally Logs On To Let Us Know That They're Still Excellent At Everything

"Hey guys, quick life update! I now have a full time job with Apple working 3 days a week with a six figure salary. I got a new puppy from the shelter who just happens to be a pure-bred golden retriever! I'm spending three weeks paid leave in Guatemala helping underprivileged iguanas before I return home to the comfort of my New York City apartment. Oh, and I'm engaged!"

7. The Uncomfortable Selfie Person

If seeing it on your feed doesn't make you uncomfortable enough, just take a quick scroll down their feed and admire just how little else they have on their profile. Most of them have 0-3 likes and all of them have either a very deep caption or no caption at all. But hey, whatever makes you feel good dude.

8. The Never-Ending Vacation Photos

"Last Thursday in Peru! Boy, this Eiffel Tower will never live up to the memories I made there! Can't wait for my African safari next week!"

9. The Person Who Is Super Into Drugs

Everything they post screams, "I'm so high right now." Whether it's literal marijuana studies, an especially colorful art mural with the caption, "wow," or a video of a cheetah running in slow motion, this person is never not on drugs.

10. The Person Who Constantly Posts Statuses About Day-To-Day Events

"So today at the grocery store..."

11. The Person Who's Super Into Fitness

Honestly, HOW ARE YOU LIKE THIS?

12. The Person Who Is Always Angry About Some News Story

Whether it's a petition to jail a high schooler who drove over 60mph on the highway or an actual really gruesome story that you wish you could unread, this person always seems to find something to be angry about in the news.

13. The Girl From High School That's Already Engaged

I will never understand how your life is so much different from mine nor will I ever stop stalking your bridal registry enviously.

14. The Model

Whether this person is an actual model or just thinks they are, their photos are all high key model-esque, far more than anything else on Facebook.

15. The Alcoholic

This person posts things like "How To Hide Red Wine In A Vitamin Water Cup," and makes everyone else wish that was their lifestyle.

16. The Odyssey Writer

And, of course, there's always the writing major who spams your feed with mildly interesting Odyssey content and the occasional hidden gem. But, hey, it must be working!

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.
