Nothing screams New Year more than an ode to the classics. And when I talk classics, I mean the geniuses like Jane Austen. Lately, I've been tuning out during lectures and spending my valuable time wondering how relevant Jane Austen is on campus; half the people on campus or in my friend circle seem reincarnations of some Austen character.

Now if I could just get me a Darcy...

1. The girl who sits in the front of every class and has the urge to paraphrase everything the professor said perfectly

We see you, Mary Bennet

2. The girl who tries to pull an Emma and thinks she’s got her own life so figured out, she can start pushing everyone else in the group to hook up with each other.

Girlfriend, thanks, but…no thanks.

3. That one guy or girl in your group who is the sweetest person ever

Like, seriously, you’re afraid for them because they practically ooze unicorns and sunshine. They can never refuse anyone, always have a kind word and are just adorable. Remind everyone of a certain eldest Bennet sister?

4. That one romantic friend who always gets disappointed and doesn’t know how to deal with having overly high expectations

She also doesn’t seem to understand that her perfect guy might not have the foresight to drop to his knees and ask her out with a limousine at the ready. It ended well enough for Marianne though, so who knows?

5. The Wickham snake

I’m talking about that person who says all the right things, has an impeccable fashion sense and lays the charm on thick but is actually a hypocritical, self-serving, two-faced…you get the idea.

6. The morals master, or Edmund Bertram

Dude, I understand that partying the week of exams might not be the smartest decision I will ever make but do you really have to rain on my parade? You are not my mother, your father or myself and therefore I’m under no obligation to take any heed of your moralistic rants. It’s not like we won’t both still be up the night before, cramming like crazy.

7. That girl who decides the best way to earn a guy is to hit the gym

Maybe she’s never run a treadmill in her life but the second some ‘interesting material’ shows up, you can bet on Lydia Bennet’s name that her rear end will be at its most advantageous display.

8. That one couple in your group that makes you think #relationshipgoals

In fact, you’d rank them a close second behind Lizzy and Darcy for the most romantic couple ever.
