Top 10 People You Meet in College
Mac Welch

There are many different people in many different schools across the nation. But regardless of where you go, there are a few people that you can find almost anywhere. And these are the best of the best:

10. The One Who Is Exploring Their Sexuality

Hey dude, no judgment. You wanna have sex with boys? Girls? In between? Often? Too often? Not often? Well, now that you're alone, go ahead.

9. The One You See On Move-In Day And Never Again

So you're moving in on the first day, you're scared about all the people you will meet. You find that one person that you click with. This person is so chill, hilarious and has the entire Harry Potter movie series. But, whether due to the fact they are an engineering major or they have a significant other that lives near campus, you don't see them again until graduation.

8. The Grad Student That Hits on Freshmen

"Oh, the fresh meat is here, and just in time for feeding. How easy would it be?" They must be impressed by the fact you're a grad student. How mature. What a learned potential mate. As long as they've had their 18th, do whatever you want. Just please don't be an asshole. (Although you kind of already are.)

7. The One Who Isn't Going to Their First Choice School

Oh, you're better than this school? Obviously not. You are here now, get over yourself and come to class.

6. The One Who Is In The Wrong Major And Doesn't Know It

Hey kid, ya know those awkward pauses after you voice your opinion in class? That is the entire class, including the professor, exchanging eye contact, while thinking the same thing: "this one's not gonna last." You're smart, but you mix about as well as Donald Trump and The White House.

5. The One Who Wants To Do It All

There are a ton of opportunities in college! All good! They're not meant to all be done simultaneously. I swear to you, with all my heart, you will not be succeeding in any of these things if your plan is to do them all.

4. The Questionably Gay Philosophy Major That Loves To Be On Their Soap Box

Just cause you're a philosophy major, doesn't mean you know the secrets of the universe. This one likes to shove their political opinions down your throat, and potentially something else. Either way, you do you! (But tone it down a notch, will you?)

3. The Private School Kid

WOW, THIS IS LIFE? Yes. Cool it. Yes, people party. Yes, people are messed up. No, not everyone believes in God. Yes, African-American people are real. No, I don't know if there's another party tonight.

2. The Secretly Famous Person

Ya know that person that didn't want to be found, but their past life snuck up on them? They were hiding from the spotlight, but it found them. Oh... you don't know who I'm talking about? Whoops... just forget about it, then.

1. The One Who Doesn't Go Here

Oh my gosh, that guy is so cool! What's their major? What dorm do they live in? What year are they? Nope. They're not one of you. You thought. The one person who is hiding amongst the crowd, but they don't actually go to school here. They don't go to school. Wanna know what they actually do? Hang out with you and your friends. Make sure to go to the dining hall to see if they have an I.D. Just a tip!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.

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.
