The Ten People You’ll Meet at Wake Forest

Posted Apr 24 2012 - 11:39pm
Have you ever read the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven? Basically, the premise is that after his death, the protagonist encounters five distinct people who impacted him significantly when he was alive. It really got me thinking: Have I experienced these types of interactions in college? Have I met my “five people”? Have any of us?

Of course, Wake is full of diverse groups that can’t be defined by just five or ten categories. But in order to keep this article from being fifteen pages too long, I narrowed the list down. So here it is: the ten people you will definitely meet during your time at Wake Forest!

The Overachiever

Their home base may be the library, but the overachiever is also involved in so many different campus activities that they never stay in one spot for long. The only place they never frequent is their dorm room, because they don’t have time to sleep or relax. If they absolutely need to rest, a 10-mintue nap in the red room will suffice. And these people just get busier every year, joining more honor societies and service organizations every time a new application comes out.
