The Types Of People You'll Meet In College

Despite the fact that colleges hold thousands of people that come from many diverse backgrounds you always somehow run into these people on a college campus:

Mr. Congeniality

You try to hate him, you really do but you just can't. He the one giving out high fives to random strangers and you've never heard a single negative comment muttered about him. You have never seen him not happy and smiley.

The Party Animal

You don't know how they do it but they manage to go out five times a week. Their motto is that it's 5 o'clock somewhere and they are at every party you walk into. Usually dancing on a table or seen stumbling around.


The Slacker

Commonly found sleeping in till 1. Went into college with the motto that C's get degrees. They're the one constantly hitting you up for the notes from the class they didn't go to.


The Professor That Tries to Be Your Friend

"Feel free to text me, I won't be doing anything". That kind of professor that always asks what everyone did over the weekend. This professor is the person that "jokily" asks where all the parties are for the upcoming weekend.


The Couple That's Already Married

You love them to death and they are total goals but they high key make you realize how single and alone you are. They've been together forever and are never seen one without the other.


The Guy Who Peaked In High School

Can be spotted still wearing his Letterman jacket and high school tee shirt and sweatshirts. Most likely talking about all the girls he got with in high school and all the parties he went too.


The Totally Optimistic Girl

That girl is always seen smiling and content with life. She's super welcoming and has the cutest Snapchats and her Instagram is prime. Everyone is low-key obsessed with her.



The Guy Desperately Trying to Get Laid

Usually found at a party, the type of guy to say "wheres my hug". Can be seen trying to flirt with drunk girls and makes a point to talk as many girls as possible.



The Gym Rat

Always in the gym or otherwise talking about going to the gym. Can be seen with a protein shake in hand and decked head to toe in athletic attire.



The Overachiever

Usually found in the library or with a book in hand. The future doctors and lawyers of the university. Always stops to talk to the professor on the way out of class and finishes the assignments the day they are assigned.



The Mom

Always seen carrying a huge purse full of snacks, kleenex and anything one could ever need. The one you always go to for deep talks and advice. Volunteers to be DD and gives great hugs.

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.

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.
