1.THE DATA KILLER: These are the people who respond to EVERY SINGLE message someone sends. Sometimes it even seems like they are talking to themselves. You don't mind it when you're on Wi-Fi, but when you're not.... they ruin lives. We love these people to death but hate them when we get the text saying we’ve used up 75% of our data for that month weeks before our data starts over.
2.THE GIF COMEDIAN: These people clearly have a lot of free time on their hands. With random pictures and videos of things like koalas eating popsicles, to GIFS that are used as comebacks, these people have pictures and GIFS to fill every situation with. Not to mention everyone else in the GroupMe is lowkey saving every picture and GIF because they are so on point. You guys keep me young. 
3.THE LIKER: These people don’t say anything ever on GroupMe, but you know they’re still alive and well by their excessive likes on everyone’s comments. Thank God for these people because you can always count on at least one like on your messages in the chat from this person. After all, likes give us life, right? 
4.THE PLANNER: These people know exactly what’s going down, where it’s going down and how to get everyone there. These people also provide a lot of FOMO to the members to the chat since they are planning something every night. "Oh, you all are tired? You can sleep when you're dead. Rick's tonight 11:00." 
5.THE RANDOM: These people pop in at random times after muting the GroupMe for weeks on end. They will provide a random comment that no one understands until everyone figures out their comment is regarding something your GroupMe covered 17 days ago. These people never know what’s going on when you talk to them in person about events and socials. With questions like, “What day is chapter,” when clearly chapter is the same day every week of the year. Hats off to you people though because you force me to stay up to date on life so I can attend to questions from people like you.
6.THE “WRONG GROUPME” PERSON: The name says it all about this person. GroupMe is not that difficult to use but for some reason these people send random messages in the GroupMe that is followed with a, “Oops. Sorry wrong GroupMe!” message. We’ve all done it once, but these people make this mistake on the regular. Sometimes we question if it really is an accident.. but we digress. But seriously, c’mon people. If you can pass chemistry and Gen Ed classes, you can work GroupMe properly (unless intoxicated).

7.THE BATTERY KILLER: These people are the most common. They typically can be found having one-on-one conversations with other members of the GroupMe inside of the chat for everyone to see instead of taking their conversation to iMessage. “Anyone in Econ? “Yeah I am!” “What’d you get on the last quiz?” “95%, how about you?” etc. We love you guys but not when I’m at 20% battery with 3 more classes and a bus ride home until I’m near a charger.
8.THE WANNA-BE COMEDIAN: These people try to be funny and fish for likes but no one else finds them funny. Only their closest friends give them sympathy likes. “I thought I was being funny but no one has liked my message yet. Will you go like it?” You guys are awesome conversation transitions though so thank you. 
9.THE NIGHT OWL: These people keep your phone lighting up way too late. Don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend? No problem. Instead of good morning texts, these people will fill your notifications with 30+ messages to read when you wake up. These people are also the reason you have trouble studying and staying focused late at night. On a lighter note, these people provide entertainment to catch up on as you walk alone across campus in the morning. 
10.THE “LIKE THIS IF” PERSON: These people post in the GroupMe to make sure they aren’t the only one’s going to an event or social. “Like this if you’re going out tonight!” These people put those who aren’t going into serious FOMO after they see who has liked that person’s message. However, their messages are helpful for those who are planning on going. 
11.THE AVATAR CHANGER: Thank God there isn’t a notifaction for everytime the group avatar is changed. These people are constantly fishing for embarrassing pictures of people to change the group avatar to. Watch out, these people are usually screenshotters on SnapChat too. Sent this person an ugly face on SnapChat? I wouldn’t be surprised if you see that picture again as the group avatar in multiple GroupMe’s. *Spencer Bonds changed the group's avatar*
12.THE MOM/DAD: Every GroupMe has that person who takes the initiative to act like everyone’s parent. “I brought sunscreen for the darty! “Did everyone make it home okay?” “Pregame starts at 5:00. Text me for rides!” Keep on, keepin' on you people. You are the sole reason I’m still alive and breathing.
13. THE SCHOLAR: These people keep your house’s average GPA up and are great tutors but they like to make it known that they are doing those things. They only post about school, classes, the library, and of course, questions about the honors college. You inspire me, but I don’t need live updates every time you’re pulling all nighters that you don’t even need to study for while I've given up studying for the same exam 2 days ago. Although, you people remind me why I go to college. 
14. THE MOOCH: These people really only post in the GroupMe ironically right around formal and date party time when they need to be set up with a date. They also only seem to post when they need to borrow clothes. We got your back, but I promise we’re fun people to talk to for other things besides favors.
15.THE "SHOULD MIX IN A WATER" PERSON: These people post videos of themselves screaming, blurry pictures and screenshots of Snapchats that have scribbles. Most importantly this person never fails to let you know how much they love you by the, “I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! BEST PLEDGE CLASS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3” message but with far more spelling and grammar errors. Shoutout to these people, you guys keep the GroupMe lively.
16. THE THROWBACK PERSON: These people are the ones who seem to have every piece of evidence to everybody’s nights they wanted to forget about 7 months ago. Lucky for us, these people will never let you live those train-wreck nights down because they have pictures and videos stored away in their phone that they are just waiting to whip out. They also have us terrified for what they might post on Instagram or Twitter when our birthdays roll around every year.
Whether GroupMe is constantly wasting your data or making your phone low on battery, we must always remember that without all of these kinds of people in our chats, we would have have to face the awkward situations, conversations, bus rides of silence and meals in the caf by ourselves without a GroupMe conversation to constantly look down at in our time of need.
Well done GroupMe, you save lives. Admit it or not, your likes give us a tiny dose of confidence and your notifications make us seem more social than we actually are to those who glance at our phones. So thanks GroupMe for bringing pledge classes closer together despite the distractions and notifications.
