One of the best and most fun parts of college is getting to meet people from all backgrounds and all different interests. This list below is the types of people you will most likely meet your freshman year at the University of Georgia.

Disclaimer: This article does not discredit any of these groups- these are overdramatized stereotypes for comedic relief. I have friends in all these groups of people and love how invested they are within these groups.

1. Bolton long tables.

If anyone is going to stand on top of a table and announce that a picture of an egg got more likes the Kylie Jenner, it's the Bolton round tables. These are very outgoing, social people. This is typically your Freshley friend group. These people want to share the love with every single person they come in counter with- including the guy studying for his Chem test at one of the only open tables who very much does not want to make friends.

2. Gym rats.

These are the fitness junkies on campus. The people that regardless of their schedule or course load, will make time to hit the gym. 10/10 times you talk to them, they will tell you that they work out. They probably have a mirror pic in the locker room on their story every other day. They count their macros and micros at the dining hall. They work out in the "testoster-room" at the fitness center. Their diet consists of 85% protein powder.

3. Terry business majors.

They believe Terry is the only college on campus that matters. They don't have friends in other majors- or at least not any they're close with. They post the new building on their story every day despite not having any classes in the BLC. 9/10 conversations you have with them will be about how they're taking accounting this semester. They are trying to trade stocks as a full-time job. They probably have started a couple of businesses that they brainstormed in their dorm room. They are a TJ Maxx business professional addict.

4. Girls with Crunch Fitness memberships.

The only reason you know this is where they work out is that they make it known. If their ability to pay for a gym membership aside from the free fitness center on campus doesn't clue you in, their lulu lemon workout outfit will probably explain a lot. They are always in shape, tan, and carrying a water bottle that probably cost the same as my textbook. Probably has beef with orange theory.

5. "I'm from Atlanta" "Like IN the Perimeter".

Who knew a zip code came with an established superiority along with the postal code. Probably went to a private school. Probably got a brand new car 6 months before they turned 16 to "practice with". Only eats at trendy places downtown and thinks Bolton is commoner's food for suburban kids. Also probably an expert at living in smaller spaces, unlike the southern students who grew up on a specific number of acres they'll tell you about.

6. People who regularly talk in "UGA Class of 20XX" Group Me's.

This 1500 person group message is not the place to get help on a homework question for a class 98% of these people probably aren't in. This is not the place to assert your political opinion. This is not the best resource for recommendations for products or services you need. This isn't where you should try to sell things, buy things, share your life story. There are too many people in these Group Me's for this type of nonsense.

7. People who still wear high school spirit wear.

UGA is a school with quite the brand. Even our Walmart has a full UGA merchandise section. As cool and trendy as a 2014 Student Ambassadors t-shirt looks on campus, it may be time to retire it. College has brought so many t-shirts into my life that I don't know what to do with them. I tie-dyed a free t-shirt the other while walking to class. Your letter jacket from your sophomore swim team days is a lot less cool now, unfortunately.

8. Sorority girls.

A full Instagram of presets with pictures that took 37 angles to take. An entire laptop full of stickers from Red Bubble. Always bringing greek life into conversations- even those that have no relation to it. Probably owns Pandora rings, Alex and Ani bracelets, and platform sandals. These girls treat Pauley's like a mothership and may accidently talk your ear off in your 11 a.m. History class.

9. People who play volleyball at the Creswell sandbox.

As much as I enjoy getting hit with a volleyball on my way to class, we get that you played volleyball in high school. These people always are overly competitive despite it being 3 p.m. on a Wednesday in a dorm parking lot. They are usually screaming at each other. They are often recruiting in large group me's. Thank you for reminding me that I am unathletic and should probably do something about that.

10. The ~overly~ involved.

These people only belong to specific organizations on campus. These are people who treat big campus organizations like the cure to cancer or world peace. From SWAB, Miracle, Student Government, Dawg Camp to being an RA, they know everything that happens on campus. Their Instagram is always a fundraising graphic. They are attracted to the flyers by the elevators and the school generated emails. They are always spilling the tea about the girl they don't like who ran for exec or the member of their team that raised the least. These people treat Philanthropy like the Olympics and want to do the most in every single organization.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
