When you first arrive, college can seem like a whole new world. There are countless types of people you’ve never seen before, each more ridiculous than the last. And without a strong sense of what is right, it can be almost impossible to distinguish between the good and bad apples.
1. The Funny Friends
If you've had a bad day and need a good laugh, these are your go-to people. No matter what they are talking about, it instantly brightens your day and will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Every time they are around, it is guaranteed you will be crying with a stomach ache from all the laughs.2. The "Mom"/"Dad" Friends
Thank the lord for the friends like these. They always know how to have fun, but also know how to keep you in line and take care of you when things go wrong. These friends will always walk you home from the party and have your best interest in mind. You would be completely lost without them.3. The "I'm Down" Friends
Want to go on a hike? Want to go get pizza at 1 a.m.? This is the friend you call. They are ready for anything and are up for anything any time, no questions asked. They love unexpected plans, and you can always count on them for any type of adventure.4. The Ride or Die Friends
These are the people that will be at your wedding and your funeral. These are the friends you know are going to be there for a lifetime. They have aspects of all the things you want in a friend, plus more. They are always ready for a good time or a spontaneous adventure. They are there to make you laugh, give life advice, help you study, and will have your back 100 percent of the time. These are #squadgoals.
5. The Party Animal Friends
You may think you’re a pretty, fun girl, going out a few times a week, maybe even sleeping out some nights if the night gets pretty crazy, but you’ve got nothing on the Party Animal. This friend goes out five nights a week, and takes Sunday and Monday to recover before starting again on Tuesday. You’ll spot them on campus (never before 10 a.m.), in sweats and a baseball hat, holding on to their water for dear life. They somehow manage to cruise through school despite their very important partying lifestyle, and even after the most toxic of hangovers they will be ready to go to the next party. This person is friends with all the bouncers, all of Greek life, athletes, and bartenders, and honestly, sometimes, you wish you could be them. But then you see this friend throwing up or dancing on the table, and you feel grateful for your relative sanity.
