Moving to college comes with experiencing new things. There are new study techniques, new sleep habits, new mystery foods from the cafeteria, and new relationships you never knew existed. Here are 10 types of relationships you will run into in college.
1. The Study Buddy
This is the person you will always call on to cram for an exam or complain about the readings you have not done yet. You will work good together and always push each other to do your homework after wanting to give up.
2. The Best Friend
You will be inseparable. People will expect to see the other person when they see you. You will know everything about each other, from family life to pant size to favorite color jelly beans.
3. The “Squad”
This is the group of people you’re always seen with. You will all get along and feed off of each other equally. You will feel like you have known each other for years.
4. The Roommate
This person will become your sibling. You will have no problem telling them to clean their dishes or to stop talking on the phone at 2 a.m. You can depend on them for everything. They will know when you're upset without ever asking.
5. The Not-So-Friendly Friend
Meeting so many people makes it inevitable for at least one to turn out poorly. These are the people who will pretend to listen and pretend to love your company, and then bash on you the second you walk away.
6. The “Better Than Everyone” Friend
There is always one friend that thinks they are better than you. It may not be their fault, maybe they just grew up being better than everyone else. They will belittle everything you do and always talk about themselves.
7. The Encourager
There are these incredible people you will meet that will encourage you in everything you do. They will cheer you on and support you no matter what you are trying to accomplish. They will make you feel like the most extraordinary person in the world.
8. The Platonic Friend
Everyone will always assume you are dating. People will ask how long you have been together and tell you that you make a cute couple, and eventually you will just go with it.
9. The Closed-Off Friend
When you run into the person who doesn't want to talk about themselves or doesn't seem to know how to have feelings, do not blow them off. There are people who like keeping to themselves, and that doesn't make them a bad person.
10. Your Person
This is the only person you truly need to survive. This is the person you call when you need to study, need to vent, need encouraging, or want to down a pint of ice cream at midnight. No matter what the circumstance, your person is your other half. They are always there and will do anything for you.
