Chameleon<br />

The Adapter<br />

Even though many animals have outstanding camouflage<br />

skills, the chameleon is the king of all deception. These<br />

unique animals contain chromatophore, which are specially<br />

colored pigments that allow their skin tone and patterns<br />

to change. Their changing patterns are used to blend into<br />

the environment, but that is not the only reason. These skin<br />

changes mimic their emotional energy. For example, some<br />

chameleons reflect dark colors when they are angry or want<br />

to scare another animal. Chromatophore gives chameleons<br />

the ability to adapt to their surroundings quickly.<br />

Like high school, college has many cliques and it can be<br />

hard to breakthrough unless you fit certain criteria. However,<br />

some people transcend all groups because they have<br />

diverse experiences and dynamic personalities that mesh<br />

with all people. Adapters connect with nearly everyone<br />

because they are charismatic and optimistic about the<br />

future. These captivating creatures can hold conversations<br />

with Gamers, Athletes, Artsy Kids, Greeks, and even<br />

Hotheads. So when walking to class with an Adapter,<br />

they will often seem like the college Oprah and you start<br />

to wonder if that makes you Gayle. Adapters are great<br />

friends to have because they will introduce you to many<br />

other species and you will begin to feel like an on campus<br />

celebrity yourself.<br />
