The 8 Types Of People You'll Meet In College—And You're One Of Them, Too
Miami University / Instagram

College is a crazy place. You see new people every day and still somehow run into the same people. It's crazy how many different personalities come together and interact on one campus. Some of them you'll become friends with, and others you'll try to avoid.

Chad

Everyone knows a Chad. He's in that one fraternity, and he probably comes to Monday morning lecture hungover from White Claws.

Kelly

Everyone knows a Kelly, too. You know, the girl who filters the crap out of her Instagram posts and is for some reason never in class? Oh, she's in that one sorority, too.

The Loudmouth

That one kid in class who can never seem to be quiet. Every time the professor says something, they can't go without making a comment. Half the time, it isn't even relevant.

That ~One~ Kid In The Group Project

Group projects—quite possibly the worst thing to be created in college. We all know that ONE person. The one who doesn't show up to class, open labs, or group meetings, but, somehow they still want a great participation grade?

The Partier

Much like Chad, this one seems to never be in class. They're either out every night or they're sleeping until 3 p.m. to get ready for the next night's event.

The One With The Huge Planner

This person is the one who has a color-coded planner. Each class has a different color, highlighter, and folder that corresponds to everything. Their planner and laptop are their life—without it, they would probably die. If they say they're failing the exam with their six different highlighters and pens, odds are you are too.

The Class Skipper

Pretty self-explanatory: the one who always skips class but is somehow still passing. We don't understand you people.

The Ghost

The ghost is that one friend who drops off the face of the Earth for weeks at a time. When they finally move out of the library, you see them for a few days, and *poof* they're gone again.

There are tons of personalities you meet at college, and these stereotypes may not do you or your friends justice. Although, we all know someone who can fit into at least one of these categories—which one are you?

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.

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.
