The 10 People You Meet At Your Local College Bar

Because what's more interesting than a crowded room of people?

The 10 People You Meet At Your Local College Bar
Thought Catalog

It's that time again, folks. School is back in session, and with that comes the predictable habitual Thursday night visits to your local college bar, such as Dahlonega's beloved Johnny B's. You never know what to expect at the bar, and you never know who you may meet. However, without fail, there will almost always be these 10 people at your local college bar:

1. The overzealous freshman with the (horrible) fake I.D.


Easily recognized by their baby faces, these overzealous freshman come ready to party hard. Unfortunately for them, the fake I.D. card they purchased online is just a little too fake. Better luck next time, kid.

2. The frat guys doing shot skis

Hang around the bar, and I guarantee you'll witness the infamous "shot ski." Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like - a line of shots on a ski. Multiple frat bros will line up beside one another and take their shots. Wow, impressive.

3. The designated driver

Shout out to the kind soul who braves the local bar sober just to chauffeur his or her drunk friends. This person is responsible, caring, and probably a little bitter. He or she makes sure the intoxicated get home safely; the designated driver is the true hero of the bar scene. Be forever grateful for this person.

4. The talkative drunk who is making absolutely no sense

There is always that one person who had a little too much to drink and has a little too much to say, none of which makes any sense at all. Brace yourself for a lot of mumbled nonsense, and just smile and nod.

5. The dancing fool

This is the person that heads straight for the dance floor. Without any inhibitions or cares in the world, he or she kills it with their crazy dance moves. Sure, they may regret making a fool out of themselves the next morning, but the memory of them doing the worm in the middle of tons of cheering college kids will make it all worth while. You'll probably want to be his or her best friend.

6. The first time partier

Say hello to the sheltered student fresh out of their parent's house and ready to experience the freedom of college. It does't take much for the first time partier to have a good time, but watch out, they may get carried away.

7. The random, annoyed older people

For some reason unbeknownst to me, older people always show up to the local college bars. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that they complain about the amount of college students. Trust me, us college students are just as uncomfortable as you are. Are there not more age appropriate bars to visit?

8. The drinker in denial

The drinker in denial is a classic. This is the person who has had a few too many and fails to recognize just how intoxicated they have become. Typically, he or she can be seen falling over, struggling to walk, slurring their words, and constantly repeating the phrase, "I'm fine, I'm not drunk."

9. The party pooper

The party pooper is the worst; he or she is not a proponent of having fun. I'm not really sure why they even showed up to the bar, but they did, and it's their mission to be miserable. Don't let them kill your vibe.

10. The notorious flirt

Known for buying drinks and flirting like it's their job, the notorious flirt is one everyone recognizes. He or she comes to the bar to find a hook up and usually leaves with an attractive person on their arm. Good looks and charm are his or her specialty.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
