All throughout life, you come across many different types of people. Personally, I've come across many different types of guys my freshman year of college and found it difficult to categorize all of them under one umbrella. Here are some of the most recent types of guys I've come across with my freshman year, and I'm sure you have too.
1. The guy who's trying to be something he's not
I'm positive we've all come across this guy somewhere along the way. He's the charming guy that you know is good at heart, but is trying to prove himself and impress friends. He's the guy that you could see yourself dating, but is caught up in trying to change his image to even know you care. This type of guy is the worst type because you can see that they're good guys at heart, but you can't do anything but watch them self destruct.
2. The stereotypical pretty boy
Oh boy! These types of guys are real keepers! The type of guy who won't even strike up a conversation unless you're under 5'3 and blonde. They're the boy who spends more time at the gym checking himself out in the mirror than actually working out. The guy who has no reservations about running you over on his longboard.The guy who can't start a conversation with using the word "bro". He's the guy who will get so defensive while reading this article.
3. The guy who's still stuck in high school
This is the guy who you just want to smack in the face and say" wake up!" He's the guy that thinks since he "slayed baddies" in high school his reputation will automatically follow him. He's the guy whose trying to maintain his long distance relationship with high school sweetheart, but ends up cheating on her every weekend. He's the guy who only talks about his friends back home and how he was the starter on his varsity football team and how he was the big man on campus. That's cool, I guess, but it's kind of sad you're trying to relive your "glory days". On a campus with 80,000 people it's not hard to feel lost in the crowd, but living in the past is no way to live.
4. The random guy you see at every party
You have no idea what his name is, where he's from, or how he even gets into every party, but he's just there. He might know you're name, but probably not. You've never formally introduced yourself, but somehow you're friends on snapchat so introducing yourself at this point would just be awkward. He makes you wonder how he's doing in school because you see him going out every night of the week. If you are passing, what's your secret? But chances are he's not coming back next semester.
5. The guy who just doesn't get it
This is the hardest guy to deal with. He's the guy with a good heart, but can't take the hint that you're just not into him. You don't want to shut him down because you have three classes with him and it would just be super awkward. It's like the "let's just be friends", but not even that because you actually want nothing to do with him. You come to the conclusion that just it's easier to tolerate his presence for the rest of the semester then attempting to let him down easy.
While this portrayal might make it seem like all freshman college guys suck (because frankly some do), there are some hidden gems. There are some really cool guys that you'll meet, who will actually want to get to know you. But coming across some these kinds of guys just comes along with the territory of college.
