As a recent high school graduate, I can't help but ponder on the numerous and diverse types of people I've encountered throughout my four years. Some acknowledging day in and day out, and others only meeting once. Some people are fantastic while others... not so fantastic. I generally don't like to stereotype people, because I understand that no one should judge a book by its cover, and everyone is unique in their own way, even if they try their hardest to fit into the mold and the status quo. However, listening to others tell their high school experiences along with mine, I can't help but notice that some types of people are in every high school all together, they made the past four years interesting with their memories. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that unless you went to a different type of high school, or were home schooled, you have come in contact with these types of people one way or another.

Let me clarify, this is NOT a bad thing. Some of these people are insanely cool. Granted, some of them are the absolute worst, but there are highs and lows in everybody's life, right?

Here are some of the people you might meet in high school:

The over achiever who does EVERYTHING and makes you feel awful about yourself.

The jock who plays mostly all the sports, is classified as "super cute", kind of acts like a jerk, except he is generally nice at times. Most importantly...absolutely clueless.

The energized kid who causes trouble and makes everyone laugh even though they are the most annoying person you've ever met.

The 'hip' squad that thinks they are way too cool for everyone in school and tries to look bored 24/7.

The seniors who feel they are better than everyone else just because they are seniors.

The self-acclimated nerd who is super cool, doesn't fit into the 'status quo', and doesn't care what other people think.

The couple in the hallways that everyone gets tired of because they spend every moment together, not realizing that their next class is only 50 minutes long, not a century...

The party girl who you like being friends with, but usually can't be serious around because she's SO CRAZY, but she has good stories.

The gossiper who hears one story at the beginning of the school day, and tells everyone a different story by the end.

The person who can be friends with anyone. Everyone loves her/him, because how can you not?

The person who has WAY too much school spirit.

and last but not least, the crush to end all crushes who left you crushed.

How did I do? Have you met any of these people?

Are you one of them?
