You're going to meet an insane amount of people throughout your college career, and there's no way you could possibly expect yourself to remember all of them. Some, however, will definitely stand out to you. There are types of people that almost everyone meets, and if you're really lucky, you'll be able to call some of them your friends.

1. Adamant Partier

There are going to be nights that you’d rather lay in bed than go out (though few and far between), and that is perfectly fine. However, you’re probably going to have at least one friend that hears “I’m giving up on life” when you say “I think I might stay in tonight.” Most of the time, you give in and go out with them, but you can never be mad because they’re always such a great time to be around.

2. Hot Professor

The only thing better than a class you genuinely enjoy, is a class taught by a professor whose face you genuinely enjoy. Guaranteed, you’ve texted all of your high school friends about him ,and told all of your friends on campus to take his class. The benefit to having a hot professor is that most of the time, you’re paying attention to him. Another benefit is that at the end of the semester, you’ll probably study for your final because what could be worse than embarrassing yourself in front of him?

3. Your RA

There are exceedingly great resident assistants on every campus. I have one right now who regularly buys me ice cream, and gives me advice whenever I need it. On the other side of the spectrum though, are awful resident assistants. You can deal with this in any way you that you wish, but at the very least, your entire floor has something to bond over.

4. Perpetual Crush

You have probably thought this person is cute since the first time you hung out with them. You will never admit it to anyone but your best friends, and you certainly won’t be attempting to make the first move. At most, you will occasionally have a short conversation, which will be followed by an enthusiastic text to your group chat pertaining to the “progress” your “relationship” is making.

5. The Spontaneous Friend

Oftentimes, you find yourself wondering how this person even got into college at all based on the conversations they have and the way that they act. You don’t entirely mind the fact that they did though, because they’re always willing to do ridiculous things that your saner friends are not willing to participate in. You secretly hope that they don’t fail out, because if they do, who else will you and your roommate hit up when you’re bored out of your minds and just want to do something stupid?

6. Dorm Room Stalker

This person wants to hang out all of the time, and you’re never entirely prepared to deal with it. Hypothetically, if someone were to knock very loudly on your door in the middle of the night, you wouldn’t be surprised in the least considering that it has happened multiple times before. In these cases, you and your roommate make as little noise as possible, hoping to not give off any signs of life, as that would result in an impromptu hangout that neither of you are interested in.

7. Weekend Stalker

Don’t get the idea that leaving your dorm room equates to ridding yourself of all stalkers. You will typically see this guy once or twice a week, most often at a party, and you will spend your entire night devising plans to get rid of him for good. When you first met, he put his number in your phone, and then you blocked him. He is aware of this, and somehow he still can’t take the hint.

8. The Guy Who Thinks Everyone is in Love With Him

Every time you have a conversation with this guy, he talks about the many girls that are "completely in love with him." Knowing this guy's reputation, it's fully possible that these girls who are "in love with him" have done nothing more than smile at him in the dining hall. It's also possible that they haven't done more than look or breathe in his direction. It doesn't matter though, because according to this guy, there's not a girl on campus that isn't obsessed with him.

9. Invisible Student

It’s possible that this person has been your neighbor for three months, and you haven’t realized that they exist yet. They fly so far under the radar that almost nobody on campus would know who they are. This person leaves their dorm for class, and that’s it. You’re not fully sure whether they ever even eat food or not.

10. "In Class" Friend

You’re practically best friends with this person within the confines of your classroom. When you leave though, you only seem to text them when you need help with a homework assignment. Over break, you don’t talk to them at all. Unfortunately, you will have too many of these friends to count.

It's impossible to go through college without meeting people that make you feel like you've known them for your entire life. It's also impossible to go through college without meeting people that you could have gone without entirely. Whether good or bad, the people you meet will shape your college career, and influence you more than you ever thought possible. The people and the situations you are surrounded by are essentially learning experiences, so remember to not get too upset when something doesn't go exactly as planned.
