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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
