7 Types Of People You Find On Your Floor
Her Campus

Everybody lives with other people when they go to college, whether it be at a small Christian school or a large state school. Subsequently, everybody doesn't become everyone else's biggest fan. Here are 7 different types of people you are more than certain to run across on your floor at college:


1. The Bro

This guy is down for anything and everything. Give him the heads up and he will be excited to do anything you can imagine, definitely the type of person you want to befriend. Never will let you down, and you may never know why he is so cool, but you really do not care why.


2. The Resident Douchebag

You probably will not see this guy often, as this guy's always going around trying to find something cynical to do. This person does not draw many friends, but likes to think otherwise. They also falsely believe that being rude to everyone is funny and that is the key to happiness. Needless to say, steer clear of this bigot.


3. The Ditz

This person is generally found to be clueless in many circumstances. Unfortunately, many folks tend to take advantage of this person, and the ditz will not even realize it. Do not abuse this person, but sometimes you cannot help yourselves or other people.


4. The R.A. (Resident Assistant)

Subsequently, all colleges have Resident Assistants (RA's) on each floor. They tend to be upperclassmen and are in charge of caring for their 'residents,' in a parent-like style. Buddy up with them since they can help you figure out essentials, and they are also pivotal in getting you out of, or into, trouble.


5. The Regretful Hookup

You could not stop eyeballing and flirting with this person at the start of the term, and now that 'things have happened,' encounters are awkward whenever you see them. Everybody has had the misfortune of having one of these. The best advice here is to go about your days acting as though nothing happened, but that can be hard as well.


6. The Bookworm

Seldom is this person seen outside of their room, but that does not mean they are necessarily eerie. This person rather prefers to explore the worlds depicted in their novels instead of tangible reality. This person generally offers intellectual input whenever they are conversed with and it is keen to affiliate with this person.


7. The Gamer


Much like the bookworm, the gamer prefers an alternative reality, but this one is virtual. Often brandished off negatively, these people are generally spontaneous and you never know what to expect from them. They may need a little push, but hanging out with them can bring about a great time.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
