The Most Common College Guy Stereotypes
Msecnd

Coming to college I have certainly been exposed to new situations and people. These have been both good and bad encounters but all of them have been used as a learning experience. One topic that has been amusing to constantly see occurring is the different types of guys you meet in college. There are most definitely distinct groups that you begin to figure out and I have come across during my freshman year.

The first group is the frat boy. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Greek system and the purpose of it. But there is definitely a stereotypical group that comes from it and that is the Birkenstock loving, polo wearing, shotgun beer guy that you see when out with your friends on the weekend.

Another type includes the athletes. Once again, not everyone is this description but there is always the athlete you see on campus maxed out on K-State gear and their beats on towering over everyone because of their height or giant arm muscles.

I mentioned how these are all types of guys you meet in college. However, high school seems to still find its way onto campus. The constant tour groups and siblings that come up to visit seem to occur every other day. You always seem to meet the high school boy who wants so badly to be here. They even sometimes believe they are in college, especially when you see them here on the weekends and they pretend to be.

Those nights you plant yourself in the library you find another type of college male. These guys plant themselves in the corners of the floors and hides behind the computer screen. Some call these the nerds of college, I call them pre-med. I’m just kidding. These guys are just very dedicated to their school work, as they should be.

I’m speaking to all the college freshman when I say DO NOT download the dating apps. You and your roommates might think it’s funny at the time, but when you find yourself sitting next to a guy you swiped left on Tinder, it’s no longer funny. (Disclaimer: speaking from a friend’s experience). That brings me to the next type of guy you meet. The ones who max out on all the dating apps. Not sure why they do it, some find it funny. But stay clear ladies.

Something a lot of college students who don’t bring a car up their freshman year, worry about, is having access to food. I can assure you this is not a problem. You will make at least one friend that wants to go get food and will pick you up anywhere and take you with. So no need to worry, there is always that one guy who has food or is going to get food. We like to call this type the…. Food guy!!

One last type I want to touch on for everyone. You will start to notice that there is the type of guy who only shows up for exams in the class. You always hear your professor talk about how there are points for attendance so you would think after the first 10 absences he would probably be dropped. But for some odd miracle, he is still present in the class roster and seems to be passing. Don't follow his lead. Don't be the Bare Minimum guy.

I hope this post makes all of you readers laugh, and maybe even bring a few guys to mind if you are currently in college.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
