We all remember the excitement of move-in day freshman year. We could not wait to meet new people and start our first semester as college students. Little did we know, we would be surrounded by some of the best and worst people of our lives and be forced to deal with it. Living in the dorms teaches you how to be tolerant of people, or at least fake it till you make it; it’s only one year after all. Here’s a list of the 11 types of people you will undoubtedly have encountered while living in the dorms.

1. "The Partier".

The one who is out every night, no matter what day of the week or what test they have tomorrow at 8 a.m. They are always out and an expert on the college nightlife scene. If you ever want to have fun on any day of the week, this is the person you go to. And when you see them out, they’re always the life of the party. 

2. The “DAB”.

The girl or guy who goes out and comes back a mess ,waking up your whole hall. Of course they’re a fun time, but taking care of them every time they go out gets exhausting. But you have some pretty great blackmail pictures or videos of the nights you spend taking care of them.

3. The “Borrower”.

The one who desperately knocks on doors looking for clothes, food, school supplies you name it. And you can’t help but wonder as they borrow your $50 dress if you will ever get it back.

4. The “Crier”.

The one who misses home or whose life is falling apart 24/7. This person is often found crying in the hallway, bathroom, maybe even the study room. But hey, what’s college without your life falling apart at least once a week? We’ve all been there sweetie.

5. The “Slob”.

The person in the hall whose room constantly looks like it was hit by Hurricane Katrina, covered in week old food with clothes dispersed across the floor. Or maybe the one who leaves their trash in others people’s rooms since their room is already a disaster. Going into this room is unbearable.

6. The “Boyfriend”.

The girl with the boyfriend who tries to “sneak” out of her room in the morning. We all see you, and also, stop leaving our toilet seats up; this is the girls' hall bathroom.

7. The “Shacker”.

The person who tries to sneak back to their room in the morning wearing the same clothes they left in. The walk of shame is a regular thing for them, and overtime, it's become less shameful and more expected. The whole hall is always their to greet them after their night out.

8. The “Diligent Student”.

The person who’s always studying and puts the rest of you to shame. They rarely go out, but if you need a tutor you have one. They have their life together better than the rest of the hall and are always in the study room studying for some class you can’t even pronounce the name of. 

9. The “Peer-Pressurer”.

When you know you’re supposed to be staying in and doing homework, they swoop in and practically forced you to go out. You never stand a chance as they will give you 100 reasons you should go out instead of stay in, and you know you shouldn’t but almost always do anyways … 

10. The “Workout Freak”.

The one who isn’t phased by the freshman fifteen. You always find them at the gym kicking the rest of your halls' butts. You wish you were like them, but Papa John’s at 2 a.m. is just too good.

11. The “Uptight”.

This is the neat freak and the diligent student all in one. This person has their life planned out to the minute, and you practically have to drag them out every once in awhile. Their life seems so high strung, and getting them to loosen up is no easy task. But get them out of the study room or away from laundry and they should have some fun every once in awhile.

Dorm life is fun, and almost always entertaining. But I’m sure living away from all of these people next year will be even better. You have to live in the dorms freshman year for the experience, but it is definitely a one year only experience. I’ve made some of my best friends living in the dorms, but I look forward to not having to put up with 3 a.m. fire alarms and community bathrooms next year.
