The Three Kinds Of College Freshman

Everyone in college is different in their own way.

Everyone in college is different in their own way. But even here, people fall into what I would call, the three types. It sounds strange at first, but it really is the best way to introduce common stereotypes. Many people think that being categorized as a stereotype in college isn't the best thing, but you can find people who best fit your interests this way. Of course this doesn't mean you are going to be one of these three types of people, but it'll help give you a better understanding on what social group you might fit in.

1. The Bookworm

As the Bookworm, you'll most likely find that your room or the library, are your only safe places away from class. You take pleasure in studying and meeting deadlines, and especially not talking with people who don't already have a pre-existing relationship with you. Your roommates are your best friends as well, regardless if its one or four of them, they tend to make up most of your friend group. It's also possible that you're heavy into theater or are possibly a music major.

2. The One in a Relationship

Whether it's long distance or not, you still fall into this category. You are deeply invested in your relationship and your significant other is your best friend. When you aren't with each other you both tend to feel rather lonely, but you do have the same friends, so you're less inclined to neglect your other friends at the same time. Besides that, one or both of you probably a social science major or even a nursing major, because these types like to have someone by their side at all times.

3. The Socialite


These are the types of people who show up to the party every weekend, without fail. More or less known for having all the addressees stashed on their phone, in case of an emergency. They're incredibly friendly and aren't afraid to start conversations with random strangers. You can normally find them roaming around campus on weekdays, talking to people from all over. But on weekends, locate them at the club or the nearest party. They travel in packs of other socialites, people who tend to be just like them, for the sake of having a good time. These are normally the athletes or the commutation kids, generally the ones who like to talk a lot.

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.
