The 11 Types of Guys You Will Meet in College

The good, the bad, and the Tinder guy.

The 11 Types of Guys You Will Meet in College
University PrimeTime

College is great; You're kind of an adult without having to do adult things, you can take classes that are interesting to you within your major, you meet a bunch of new people, and you have all new experiences. There are however, some parts of college that you cannot escape; the occasional all-nighter, the weight gain, the fear of sitting in the dining hall alone, and... the stereotypical guys that you will meet.

1. The Frat Guy

This guy believes that partying is not just a Saturday night occasion. He has a massive repertoire of sub-par pickup lines, and a love for his bros that is deeper than his love for any of the girls he is talking to. He will only text you after 10 p.m.

2. The Hipster Guy

If you call him a hipster he will get mad. He prefers "indie" or "minimalist." He prefers wine over beer, black-rimmed glasses over contacts, gourmet coffee over Starbucks, and artistic talent over athletics. There's a good chance he will have some form of facial hair and a man bun.

3. The Religious Guy

These guys are hard to find in some colleges but in South Carolina, there are plenty. They are at church every Sunday morning (70 percent of them still party with the frat guys Saturday night), and take their Bible to the dining hall.

4. The Athlete

This guy isn't hard to find. He usually differentiates himself from the crowd with his cordless Beats, hoverboard, obnoxious combination of your school colors, and painfully slow walk to class.

5. The Friend-Zoned Guy

This guy waits for you while you date all of the other guys on this list before you finally give him a chance. You will end up marrying him.

6. The "Always has an Internship" Guy

This guy seems like the next ten years of his life are planned out day by day. He is always dressed in business casual attire, and always has an internship.

7. The Computer Science/Engineering Guy

This is a guy you may have never seen with your own eyes before. He locks himself in the bottom of the library and studies for days on end for a test that is in three weeks. His definition of fun is a 14-hour "Star Wars" marathon. He probably wears the same zip up jacket and cargo pants every day.

8. The Meathead

If you go to the gym, you will 100 percent run into one of these guys. When he isn't pumping iron, he is drinking a protein shake. And he will probably hit on you if you are doing squats. He doesn't have enough athletic talent to be on the football team, but he makes up for it in bicep curls.

9. The Tinder Guy

This guy looks completely different than his picture, and is almost always socially awkward. If you pursue a Tinder guy, you will for sure have funny horror stories to tell your friends. But if their picture has a puppy in it, definitely pursue.

11. The Outdoorsy Guy

This guy always has his Chacos on, even when it is 30 degrees out. He never goes anywhere without his NorthFace or Patagonia backpack. He probably drives a truck with fishing poles in the bed ready to go.


College is about much more than finding your husband - it's about finding yourself! It is about creating amazing memories and friendships. Yes, you will always find the stereotypical guys, but there are also blends of the list as well! There is the outdoorsy guy with the man bun who is a computer science major. Maybe the frat guy was pressured into it by his friends and is really the religious guy. One thing to remember - stay away from the Tinder guy.

...unless there's puppy in his picture.

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.
