Every once in a while in college, no matter how much you try to avoid it, you have to sit down for an evening of homework. Usually, instead of doing this alone you'll try to find a group of friends to share in your misery with you. No matter who you're studying with you'll probably run into the same types of people.

1. The serious one

This person is usually the only one in the room that is actually doing any work. They have their books spread out all over the place and are glued to their laptop. The only noises you ever really hear from them are when they're asking you to shut up.

2. The faker

A lovable member of the group, this person is the one who generally gets the least amount of work done. They do try, they even get all their work out and set it in front of them. Then they proceed to avoid it for the rest of the night. When confronted about it, their response is usually, "I'm literally working on it right now." No, you're not, but that's OK.

3. The seriously organized one

Commonly referred to as "the mom," this member always comes prepared with anything you may need. Did you run out of flashcards? They have that. Want any snacks? They always have you covered. No matter what you think you have to run to our room to get, they'll make sure that you don't actually get any study breaks to go run some errands.

4. The panicked

There's always someone that has a project due at midnight that hasn't been started -- and they're usually 2.5 seconds away from a meltdown. They'll also talk about the work they have to do more than they'll actually work. This is often the person who asked for the study party in the first place because they would rather not break down alone.

5. The underachiever

As the person who only came along because they were bored, they didn't bother to bring a single book because they knew from the start that they weren't going to be doing anything. They often keep others from getting any work done either, but no one ever seems to mind. It's OK, none of the rest of us were really doing anything either.

Yes, this article was written at a homework party. Let it be a testament that getting work done while with a group of people is possible. I believe in you. Get to work.
