College is the time in your life when your weekends usually consist of a handful of crowded house parties with swarms of underage drinkers trying to get wasted in as little time as possible. In these social gatherings you are sure to meet a wide range of interesting and odd people. In my years of experience, I have managed to compile a list of the six types of people you're guaranteed to find at any party.
1. The wasted kids.
You know who they are, the 18- or 19-year-old who is stumbling around the party like a drunken baby deer. They are obnoxiously loud, sentimental and know to scream excitedly at anyone that they somewhat recognize from their psych class.
2. The creepy guy who thinks he's a player.
This guy will hit on literally every girl at the party using shitty pickup lines that his friend swears work. After getting rejected by every girl he'll tell his friends she wasn't that hot anyway and go home alone.
3. The bros.
Bros have a sixth sense for finding house parties, seriously. No matter where or what kind of party it is you can bet there will be at least a small pack of bros (two to three if we're being conservative). They'll be in some corner screaming at an intense round of beer pong and telling girls that they're playing for her. They're usually, but not always, affiliated with a frat.
4. The thirsties.
These are the girls (and guys) who only came out for one thing: getting laid. The girls are dressed to the 10s and usually lurking around the bros or whoever they find most attractive. They are always trying to play spin the bottle or some other game to trick people into making out with them. The guy versions are a hybrid of the bros and creepy dude and they'll be following girls around trying to get numbers. If it's been a rough night the thirsties might settle for each other.
5. The person whose friend dragged them here.
She/he just wanted to spend their Saturday night binge watching whatever show they're into at the moment. But, unfortunately, their best friend dragged them out of bed and into some pants. They can be found in a dark corner of the party on their phones or whispering into their friend's ear and pleading to leave. They'll be the first to order the Uber and last to take a shot.
6. The dancer.
They're the life of the party, or at least the dance floor, and they won't let lack of space stop them from dancing wholeheartedly to any and every song that gets played that night. Usually unaffected by how few people are dancing with them, they only stop when they're feet are too tired or when the party gets busted by the cops.
Next time you find yourself at a house party keep your eyes open for these select few. They won't be too hard to spot.
