17 Students You'll Meet At Georgia Southern University
@duckdynastyae

Georgia Southern University is a diverse place, even if it is in the middle of the south. There's no telling what you'll see on a daily basis, and honestly, I'm never surprised anymore.

1. The athlete


They'll miss class on game days, and they're actually pretty awesome. Pass them your notes for the days they miss - they're representing your school!

2. The frat/srat

Most fraternity and sorority students stick together. Their 'sisterhood' or 'brotherhood' is something they cherish tremendously. Greek life is huge here at Southern, and it's always worth a shot to see if it's for you.

3. The honor student

They probably have their school work done way ahead of time, mainly because they've got thesis papers due the same week.

4. The senior

They're either really tired or really afraid, and there's really no in-between.

5. The non-traditional

They're kind of amazing - it takes dedication to come back to school later in life.

6. The redneck

They're the ones making subdivisions into mud-bogs and shooting off tannerite in Burkhalter on the weekends.

7. The artsy one

They're just as creative as you wish you were, thankfully someone got those genes because I know I didn't.

8. The Instagrammer

And not just any Instagrammer, the 2-3 posts a day Instagrammer. Their photos have at least 7 pointless hashtags.

9. The weirdo

They're the ones you just aren't sure about. The ones wearing fedoras or carrying briefcases, or even singing at the top of their lungs while walking through campus.

10. The partier

They're the ones coming into class with their makeup and clothes from the night before still on, if they make it to class, that is.

11. The zombie

They live in the library, and they are always sleep deprived.

12. The over-achiever

Like the honor student, their work is done ahead of time - but not because they've got more to do... that's just who they are.

13. The "I-know-it-all-even-if-I'm-wrong" guy

This is the person that 99% of people absolutely can't stand... myself included. If you don't know one - you probably are one.

14. The transfer

This is the sophomore who can't give directions at all, or who asks for them constantly.

15. The skipper

You'll see them on the test days...that's about it.

16. The constant Snapchatters

Every single thing that happens, they're there and beyond ready to document it on their stories.

17. The ones who are just trying to make it through

This is the category that every college student fits into at some point. Just hang in there, guys, you can do it!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
