The 9 Types Of People On A College Campus

1. The person who is involved in EVERYTHING

First off, how on earth do you have the time? Most people can barely get through college as it is, but there are a few mystical creatures that can somehow handle being a part of every club. These are the people who are going to be running the world; I know it.

2. The Hippies


Every school has them. There is always that group of people on the quad engaging in some illegal puffing and passing, blasting music and possibly seen with a hula hoop or doing extreme yoga. At least one of them is never wearing shoes—ever. How they do it I have no idea but campus wouldn’t be the same without them.

3. The Frat Guy


“Who do you know here?” is a phrase heard amongst almost every college student. Whether you’ve seen these guys roaming campus in their blazers and pins or yelling at you to cram pie in their faces for a good cause; frat guys are everywhere. You will most likely find them denying your guy friends entrance to their parties.

4.The Athletes


These ones are hard to miss. Athletes tend to travel in large gangs and are usually seen wearing their team apparel. The team that wakes up at 5 am for practice together, stays together.

5. The Skateboarders


Whether it be a skateboard or a dreaded long board, there is nothing worse than trying to walk to class and almost getting run over. Usually found in the most inconvenient walkways, these guys (or gals) are pretty harmless, unless you get in the way of one of their tricks. The best thing about seeing a skateboarder is knowing that spring is near—because who wants to skateboard in the winter?

6. The Nursing Students


Much like a vegan, you will know you a nursing student within the minute you talk to them. You’ll usually see them sporting scrubs and possibly crying in the library. Cut them some slack though, they'll probably end up saving your life one day.

7. The Party Animal

Either you know one of them, or you are one. These are the people who you often see Snapchats of at a bar every night of the week. How they manage to sleep, do homework, or stay sane? No one knows, not even them.

8. The Netflix Junkies


These are the people who never want to go out and would much rather stay in on a Friday night and catch up on their shows, and I don’t blame them. College is exhausting, it's nice to unwind and binge with a good Netflix series.

9. The Gym Rats


These guys are usually spotted walking around campus with their gym bags and protein blenders. Whether you are at the gym are not, they are completely unavoidable. They will only talk to you about leg day and "gains".

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.
