I get it. College is scary. You don't really know anyone and you're anxious to make friends and to finally be out on your own. You've left your friends from home (but not forgotten) and it's time to start making some new ones. The six friends we first have in college are important, and we all have them.
1. The roommate
You'll probably have dinner in the dining hall together for the first time and you'll complain together about finals. But don't worry! You'll have other friends too, just in case your roommate and you aren't BFF's.
2. The partier
They'll drag you to parties and introduce you to lots of people. They party every weekend and on weekdays. You sometimes wonder if they're even enrolled in college because you've never seen them do schoolwork.
3. The study partner
They always want to study. You hope by being their friend that they'll send you their study guide. Do they ever leave the library?
4. The 'I Know You But I Don't'
They will fact check you and correct you if you are wrong, all the time. It's okay though because they'll be able to help you if you're in a trivia contest.
6. The 'I Don't Know What To Do Without My Mom'
They'll call their mom at least once a day. You've met their mom, too. You'll often hear, "Hold on, I gotta call my mom and ask!"
7. The life-long best friend
You don't know how you would have gotten through the semester without them. They were there when your Tinder date was bad or you needed someone to eat with at the dining hall. You've already started planning your life as friends together.
Here's to the semester being over and to new friends!
