A list of the stereotypical friends you are likely to meet sometime during your college career. We all have those friends
1.) The Best Friend/Big: Even when your life is in shambles, there’s one thing you know for sure; this girl is most likely definitely your soulmate. Whether you met during the first weekend of welcome week or the following months of thousand degree weather, she is the girl you can pull all-nighters with, watch sappy 90’s Rom-Coms and also probably the only person who won’t judge you for eating your weight in Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food. She’ll take care of you on those nights and even get you tacos the next morning because she knows you would do the exact same for her. Cherish this friendship because as it goes to show, they’re pretty rare.
2.) The Unavailable: She has full potential to be your best friend, it’s just too bad she’s already found hers. Whether they’ve been dating since high school, line camp, or the ambiguous party they met at last weekend, her priorities are closely tied to her man. Everyone makes jokes about them getting married, but let’s be real, this is a textbook Baylor romance. #RingBySpring
3.) The Amnesiac: This girl has the best story to tell you from last weekend...if only she could remember it. You wait for days, weeks, years before you finally hear the dirty deets. If you want a recap of what exactly it was she did, you may find yourself referencing another source. Prayers for this one on Dia.
4.) The Comedian: Who needs Kristen Wiig and Mindy Kaling when you’ve got this one cracking jokes? This girl will always hold a special place in our hearts because even on our worst days, she’s able to put a smile on our faces. Whether it’s her goofy one-liners or impossibly hilarious impersonations, she always knows how to make you laugh- even if it’s during class. Sorry prof.
5.) The Overachiever: Much like The Unavailable, this friend is hardly ever able to hang out, however, it’s not because of her non-marriage. The Overachiever, who can be intimidating to some, is always running from one meeting to the next while also juggling a 4.0 GPA and organizing some kind of charity event. Don't quote me on this, but I’m pretty positive that this girl is not fully human. What I’m definitely sure of, though, is that she’ll have my vote when she runs for President.
6.) Southern Belle: I think the real question here is: Does this girl own anything that isn’t either monogrammed and/or pink? While she might be majoring in something like Fashion or Family and Consumer Sciences, you can usually find her at the library pinning recipes of her favorite desserts. Momma always said the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right? Her hobbies include bedazzling miscellaneous accessories, talking about her newest Lily dress, and saying “Bless her heart.”
7.) The Camp Counselor: Is her favorite word in the dictionary, “intentional?” Does she own two or more pairs of Chacos? An Eno? Does she wear an extra large t-shirt over her Norts? Does she say the word, “just,” approximately twenty times when she prays? Has she ever mentioned the words, “Kanakuk,” “Ozark,” or “T Bar M?” Then she’s definitely a camp counselor.
8.) The Hipster: Admit it, we all know one and we’re secretly all jealous of her Spotify playlists and ability to make hobo-chic look like it just came off the runway. I’m just here to tell you that it’s totally normal if you’ve spent some days trying to figure out which filter she used on that last Insta post or which thrift store she got her vintage combat boots from- we’re all guilty.
