Ever wanted to know what kind of people actually get accepted to Harvard University? No worries, here's a brief overview:

1. The Athlete

Often internationals, the athletes are known for being able to strike the perfect balance between work and play. Can be located in bed by 10 p.m., and at the gym by 4:30 a.m.

2. The “I Already Made It Here So Let Me Sleep”

Can't really argue with them.

3. The Visionary

The visionaries are known for their creativity and innovative characteristics.

4. The Lamonster

Ah yes, the Lamonster. World renowned for their ability to binge on Red Bull while trying to learn a semester's worth of information in one night. An hour of sleep is the norm.

5. The Instant Success

Ranging from Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg, the Instant Success come to Harvard with a mission: to change the world. Don't get in their way.

6. The Entrepreneur

They often move in herds, looking for entrepreneurial opportunities anywhere on campus, recognized for their yearning to become the next successful Harvard dropout. Can be located at the Harvard Innovation Lab.

7. The Die-Hard

The Die-Hard goes solo. You'll only find him in one place and one place only: the Widener stacks. While the stacks are a great place to get some serious studying done, keep in mind that if you open a bag of chips down there, the Die-Hards will come out of their cave only to give you a death glare.

8. The "I'm Going to be President One Day"

Get in line, buddy.

9. The Philosopher

Often found in the middle of Harvard Yard, eyes closed, digging deep within themselves to discover the meaning of life.

10. The Campus Celebrity

They're either already famous or it's only a matter of days until they drop 2015's sickest beats.


11. The Pre-Professionals

Alas, the pre-professionals. Recognized for their exclusivity when it comes to wanting to join their study group. Good ol' pre-meds.


12. The Floater

Floating from one concentration to another, the floater never stops a-floating.


13. The Kiss-Ass

Most notably centralized in a professor's office hours, the Kiss-Ass may annoy the hell out of everyone, but you'll be wishing you would have joined the bandwagon once they have their letters of recommendation from internationally recognized professors.

14. The Spirit Leader

Can usually be pointed out in the first freshman intramural event. The spirit leader is overly excited about multiple sports and provides leadership through his or her spirit.


15. The One Who Peaked in High School

This one's pretty self-explanatory.


16. The Fashionista

Fashion and style. Suits and dresses. All day, every day.

17. The Pajama Day Every Day

Often detested by the Fashionista, the Pajama Day Every Day couldn't care less about what others think about them -- they do their thing and they love it.


18. The Flash

Recognized for their ability to wake up for 10 a.m. class at 10 a.m. and still make it on time. God bless Harvard time.

19. The Pop-In

They only show up to exams. Somehow, they have the highest grade in the class.


20. The Curve-Destroyer

The lovely Curve-Destroyer. Everyone might have failed the exam, but there's always that one person that nails a perfect score. So much for the anticipated curve.

21. The “I Didn’t Study.”

It starts getting a bit suspicious when they only studied for five minutes last night, but they always end up being the curve-destroyers.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
