The 8 Types Of People You'll Meet In College—And You're One Of Them, Too

In This Article:

College is a crazy place. You see new people every day and still somehow run into the same people. It's crazy how many different personalities come together and interact on one campus. Some of them you'll become friends with, and others you'll try to avoid.

Chad

Everyone knows a Chad. He's in that one fraternity, and he probably comes to Monday morning lecture hungover from White Claws.

Kelly

Everyone knows a Kelly, too. You know, the girl who filters the crap out of her Instagram posts and is for some reason never in class? Oh, she's in that one sorority, too.

The Loudmouth

That one kid in class who can never seem to be quiet. Every time the professor says something, they can't go without making a comment. Half the time, it isn't even relevant.

That ~One~ Kid In The Group Project

Group projects—quite possibly the worst thing to be created in college. We all know that ONE person. The one who doesn't show up to class, open labs, or group meetings, but, somehow they still want a great participation grade?

The Partier

Much like Chad, this one seems to never be in class. They're either out every night or they're sleeping until 3 p.m. to get ready for the next night's event.

The One With The Huge Planner

This person is the one who has a color-coded planner. Each class has a different color, highlighter, and folder that corresponds to everything. Their planner and laptop are their life—without it, they would probably die. If they say they're failing the exam with their six different highlighters and pens, odds are you are too.

The Class Skipper

Pretty self-explanatory: the one who always skips class but is somehow still passing. We don't understand you people.

The Ghost

The ghost is that one friend who drops off the face of the Earth for weeks at a time. When they finally move out of the library, you see them for a few days, and *poof* they're gone again.

There are tons of personalities you meet at college, and these stereotypes may not do you or your friends justice. Although, we all know someone who can fit into at least one of these categories—which one are you?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
