5 College Guys To Avoid At All Costs

As a new batch of freshmen step onto campus, it's important to know which guys you can't trust.

As the semester comes to a close, a new batch of wide-eyed freshmen will be jumping into the college scene after this summer. Most are finally free from the small social scenes of their hometowns, so, naturally, the dating scene in college is a new experience for the new kids. However, for those same people, they only know the people they know. So it's hard to trust anyone in a new place.

This is just a PSA on the college guys to avoid as you start your college career. There are only a few people that you can trust in this world, and these are the guys you shouldn't.

1. " The Bro"

This is the guy who is kind of the obvious — well, obvious to me — douchebag. He has the attitude that nothing matters besides his protein shake and how big his muscles are in comparison to his head. He's full of himself and thinks that he's "hot shit". He knows he can get girls, so he won't just stop with you. He won't care for you very much as long as he has his masculine competition, the gym, and his steroid cocktail.

2. "The Ghost"

Now you see him — now you don't!

This guy seems like a decent dude until you try to make plans. He won't reply or he'll avoid you... Unless he's the one to message you first. He seemed interested at first, right? Why doesn't he just say that he's not into you anymore if that's the case? Also, why does he only want to talk to you when it's convenient for him? There's a difference between a guy who's genuinely busy, but interested, compared to this boy. "The Ghost" is a man who doesn't know what he wants or has other women stacked up. Avoid at all costs to steer clear of confusion.

3. "Velcro Steve"

If you have a "Velcro Steve", you might need to change your name and transfer. This kid wants to be around you constantly, to the point that you have no breathing room or "alone time". Think: Small child with his favorite teddy bear, except he squeezes it so tightly that the head starts busting at the seams. He may stalk you, given that he's coming on way too strong, and you're not about it. So it's best to leave, even though you probably just got here. Your new name is Janice and you're now going to Auburn. Congrats on increasing your student debt!

4. "Deadbeat Charlie"

A "Deadbeat Charlie" may seem pretty cool at first. However, as time goes on, you realize that he has no motivation to do anything. He travels from job to job, unable to hold one (not to be confused with the guy who gets laid-off unexpectedly and can't help it). He has no real ambition to finish school, so he skips classes and wastes money. "Deadbeat Charlie" always ends up on your couch eating chips, playing Fortnite, posting his wins on Snapchat, and avoiding responsibilities. If you stick with him, you'll always be the one providing when it should be a team effort... And that's not fair.

5. "The Smooth Talker"

You've heard about him before. He says everything right and seems eerily perfect. He pushes the front that you can trust him and he won't steer you wrong. "Mr. Smooth" pulls you in and makes you feel secure. But it's all a sham. He, too, has other girls on speed dial, ready for a new night and a new booty call. "Mr. Smooth" is a guy you cannot let in, no matter how charming or inviting he is.


While there are a lot of guys similar to the ones above, there truly are great ones out there. You only ever hear about the bad ones that ruin it for everyone else. I'm friends with a lot of great men. Guys and girls should kill to have them and they'll never let you down. It's all about being picky and really getting to know people. Don't settle for a free drink and a smile. It's what's underneath that counts. Be wary of these profiles and you'll undoubtedly meet someone worth waiting for.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
