The 5 Types Of Friends You Need In College

College can be some of best years of your life if you surround yourself with the right people. Here are the five types of people I think you’ll need in college.

1. The Partying Friend


This is the friend you’ll never see doing homework. Sometimes you even question if they actually go to the same school as you. This friend helps remind you to enjoy college and not focus too much on school. This friend is good to have so you’re not sitting alone in your dorm on a Saturday night while everyone else is out having fun.

2.The “mom” friend

Did you cut yourself? Don’t worry this friend has Band-Aids on her. Feeling sick? She has medicine. Let’s face it, when you’re not around your actual mom as often this friend comes in handy. She’ll take care of you when you’re getting out of hand, and will always comfort you when you screw something up. She’s your college mom.

3. The studious friend


If you only have friends with partying friends, they won’t remind you to do your homework. Having studious friends always remind you to study and stay on top of your schoolwork. Plus if you’ve taken a class that they have already taken they can help you if you need it. Having a friend like this in your major is a plus.

4. The adventurous friend

This is the friend that’s always up to do anything at any time. You wanna go on a Wawa run at 3 in the morning? This friend will always be up for that. Wanna go on a hike? This friend is up for that. It’s good to have that spontaneous friend that gets you to act on impulse.

5. The Straightforward Friend

This friend tells you how it is. They are upfront and tell you when you’re acting irrational or being just plain stupid. You might get mad at this friend because they might not always say what you want to here. But their honesty can help you become a better person as a whole.

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.
