The 5 Types Of People You See In Class

Many of us, at this point in our college careers, have already had to go and sit through a multitude of classes, whether it be an algebra class or an introduction to basket weaving. Either way, you've noticed a trend that seems a little weird, and it's not due to your body beginning to reject all the Ramen you have consumed over the past semester. Some of the people, your classmates, are starting to fill very distinct roles that you are seeing again and again in the classroom. It's almost uncanny. Maybe even you; yes, you, you poor, sleep deprived soul, are unknowingly one of these types of people.

They Include...

The attractive one


Whether it's a he with the physique of a Roman God or a she with the beauty of a super model, they are distracting to the majority of the opposite sex. It was already hard enough to focus in class and now you can't stop staring. They aren't the brightest. In fact, they are as dumb as a door nail, but hey, you're more than happy to give them your notes, or do their homework for them, or straight up take their test. Who cares? They're hot!

The quiet one


You're pretty sure, actually, you KNOW you have never heard this person speak, and the semester is almost to an end. You give them a wave or a smile occasionally and they quickly drop their head into their books and say nothing. Maybe they are actually mute? Or maybe they lost their tongue in an unfortunate winter pole licking incident? Either way, you just hope and pray that you don't end up with them as a partner for the final project.

The question asker


Whoever said there is never a dumb question is, in fact, dumb, and this person has clearly missed the hint. Not only do they seem to ask a question every single SECOND of the lecture, but they also have an annoying and frantic tone in their voice. Everyday you come closer and closer to plugging your ears with superglue and calling it a day.

The know it all


Yes, they got a full ride to the University. Yes, they have aced every test so far in the class. Yes, you are envious of them. They can probably just go ahead and teach the class by themselves. Maybe if you sit close to them each day, some of their genius will rub off onto you. One can dream I suppose.

The partier/hungover one


They are always in the back with sunglasses on and just sitting there. You at first thought they were dead but when called upon they struggle to make any coherent answer. Sometimes you wish you were in that state while sitting in the class.

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.
