The 6 Kinds Of People You Meet At Parties
Sweet Dreams

It's Friday, or Saturday night (or in some cases, even Thursday night) so you are out with your friends. You are having a good time, and meeting all sorts of people, like:

1. The Blacked Out Freshman

This is the girl, or boy, who has had just a little too much. They are easy to spot, as they can be found running around, doing the kinds of things that are not usually socially acceptable, being obnoxiously loud, dancing in ways that make you cringe, or sharing information that most people don't want to know. If you can, find their friends so they can make it home before they do anything that they will regret.

2. The Party Mom

Commonly a girl, but I guess it could be a boy, who is the most sober out of a group. She is constantly trying to gather her "children", also known as her friends who have probably had enough to drink. She is the one that makes sure everyone makes it home safely, drinks enough water, and takes away the not-needed drinks. Going out without her is not really recommended, but if you choose to, best of luck.

3. The Social Butterfly

You have probably seen this person around before, or at least it seems like you have, because they seem to be everywhere. They introduce themselves to you, to the person next to you, to the guy upstairs and the couple on the porch, perhaps even more than once. They ask you about yourself, what your major is, what year you are. And by the end of the night, this person has a bunch of new numbers in their phone, now whether or not they'll remember who you are, is another story.

4. The Prospective Student

You can usually spot this person because he or she looks scared, out of place, and perhaps even uncomfortable. When you talk to them, they are usually embarrassed to be a prospie, but if they tell you, they've heard how college students try to show prospies a good time.

5. The Waiting Senior

They have been to plenty of parties during their college years. They have seen it all, now they just want to do more adult things, and go to the bars. But first, they must spend some time participating in the college party scene, until it is late enough to head off to the bars.

6. GNO (Girls Night Out)

These are a group of girls that decided that this is their well-deserved night out. Chances are that at least one of them is upset with a boy. You can find them dancing in a group, taking all sorts of pictures to share on Instagram the next morning, or holding hands in a line as they try to find the bathroom.

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.
