The 15 Muppets You'll Meet In College

1. The Kermit

Kermit is a small-town guy who just wants to make the best out of everything. He works hard in school and extracurriculars and enjoys being surrounded by friends, even if those friends drive him up a wall. He can be quite timid around classmates or professors with bigger personalities (or bigger statures), and sometimes anxiety gets the better of him. Kermit should take more time for himself. Either way, his friends would be lost without him.

2. The Miss Piggy

Miss Piggy is likely your most complex and dramatic classmate. She is probably rich and come from an upscale neighborhood, but may or may not be bankrupting her parents with excessive spending on clothes and makeup. She is likely a theater or fashion design major, to complement her dramatic and fashionable lifestyle. Whether she's any good or not is beside the point, because she has a real superiority complex. She lives for drama and gossip of all sorts, but will hunt anyone who says something about her down and karate-chop them in the face. While she can be obnoxious, passive-aggressive, and just plain mean, she is a great supporter of body positivity for all types and will not make fun of another girl for her appearance. She'd probably karate-chop anyone who said something bad about her friends, too.

3. The Fozzie Bear

Fozzie Bear tries really hard and doesn't get enough credit for it. Fozzie might be a first-generation college student, and thus has a great weight on his shoulders. He might want to major in theater, but feels like he can't. He works hard in class, but it doesn't always show. He doesn't have much of an attention span. He tries out for every single theater group on campus and does not get in, so he performs for his friends whether they like it or not. He always means well, but can often be a handful. He hasn't had a lot of romantic relationships but still believes that his soulmate is out there. Be patient with Fozzie. He's doing his best.

4. The Gonzo

Gonzo and Fozzie have a lot in common. They are both unpopular performers who try hard in class but struggle. Unlike Fozzie, poor Gonzo doesn't always know when to stop or that he needs help. He has more of a can-do attitude than Fozzie, but bursting his bubble is not a good idea. His friends don't really know what to do. Some people are surprised he has any at all, but he can be really funny. Many people are surprised to know he has a loyal girlfriend who adores him. Some people think he's making her up, but he's really not.

5. The Statler and Waldorf

Statler and Waldorf have been roommates for a long time. They don't want to be roommates with anyone else, and no one wants to be roommates with them. They are always together, making rude comments about anyone and everyone. They only seem to like each other. They don't even fight. Despite being total d*cks, they are super-mega-best friends and it's adorable. If they're secretly in a relationship, it would just be even cuter. They're a match made in heaven!

6. The Swedish Chef

The Swedish Chef is an international student from very far away, but he's a really nice guy. He can be hard or impossible to understand sometimes, even though he always understands you. Some people might think his taste in food is weird. He will try to get you to eat it, and if you indulge him, you will not regret it. He brings his culture with him everywhere, and doesn't care if people like it or not. He's not bothering anyone. Take the time to be Swedish Chef's friend. He'll feed you!

8. The Rowlf the Dog

Rowlf the Dog is an enviably gifted musician who everyone likes. He's often spacey, forgetful, or quiet, but he is a loyal friend and nice to everyone. Perhaps it is the brooding attitude of such a talented musician that causes him to keep to himself. He will talk to anyone, though, and he's quite easy to talk to. He's so chill! More people should be like Rowlf!

9. The Animal

Animal is a party animal. That is not a debatable statement. No one can possibly make a counterargument. He is at every single party on campus getting so wasted that people are scared that he'll get in trouble. He does serve as a reminder not to get too drunk, because when he's hungover, it's quite unpleasant. Sometimes he's not in class, and no one knows where he is. Some people who have no classes with him don't even think he's a student. He just shows up to every single party. He can be pretty entertaining and funny, and if you can remember things from parties, you'll remember him quite well.

10. The Sweetums

Sweetums is a wrestler or football player at your school. You can tell he plays a sport just by looking at him. He's enormous, tough, and aggressive. But he's actually a huge dork and just wants friends. The other football players or wrestlers might not like him that much, and he doesn't really know what to do. If you're kind and patient with him, you'll find that he is fun to be around. And helpful. If you ever need help lugging, reaching, or doing anything with something big and heavy, he'll take care of it for you in no time.

11. The Janice

Whether Janice is a hippie or a hipster is open to interpretation. She'll tell you she's a hippie because she shops at thrift stores, listens to hippie music, feels "one with the universe," and probably doesn't shower as much as she should. She has been to Asia or Africa on a voluntourism trip and says it changed her life. She smokes a lot of weed but it's not the pillar of her lifestyle. She might play her music too loud, but if you ask her to turn it down, she will without giving you any grief. She is pretty nice, and definitely wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone. You just wouldn't want her for a group project because she can be such a space cadet!

12. The Sam the Eagle

This was a rough year for Sam the Eagle. It doesn't matter which party he's on. He's probably the most involved with politics on campus, and the fact that others don't care as much disgusts him. He can be seen putting flyers on every bulletin board, post, and tree on campus. His Facebook is all political, nothing personal. He's a political science major, of course. He is quite opinionated, but not fun to debate with. People don't really like talking to him about anything, because he won't even talk about anything. He gets lonely, but he does need to learn to agree to disagree. He would be eternally grateful to you if you showed up and participated in one of his political events.

13. The Rizzo the Rat

Rizzo the Rat was the "cool guy" in high school, but it can't stick in college no matter how hard he tries. He dresses snappy, has cool electronics, and talks "cool," but he quite often makes a fool of himself. Girls don't really like him because he can be so obnoxious. He has an insulting sense of humor that not everyone can bear, but he is an exceptionally loyal friend. He is always getting into shenanigans, and will gladly join you in yours. Some might call him impulsive and obnoxious, others might call him fun. That's up to you.

14. The Beaker

Beaker is an overachieving science major. His life revolves around his demanding classes, and he accommodates the demand with a great deal of coffee consumption that has likely damaged his brain. When you see him outside of class, he seems erratic and anxious. He works hard, and if you can get to know him, he is pretty nice. Sometimes he's not quite coherent, and you're better off asking him yes or no questions. Beaker just really needs a vacation.

15. The Scooter

Scooter looks like freshman throughout all four years of college. He doesn't always let on that he's bothered by everyone assuming he's younger. He was very nervous coming to college, and tried too hard to make friends with everybody. He was easily manipulated, and went home for many weekends at a time. Eventually he did find his friend group. While he yearns for more friends and higher status, he is essentially happy where he is. He can get extremely anxious, paranoid, and freak out, but his friends are there for him. When his friends experience that, he's always there for them.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

185104

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
