Freshman year is an exciting and formative time. Students leave behind their routine towns in order to seek out broader horizons in a new environment, whether near or far from home. Honestly, the sheer amount of change is something special that students should value and take advantage of.

In light of this clean slate, some people project themselves staunchly as who they truly are or who they want to be. Some even fabricate a new persona. While freshmen scramble to find new friends in a crazy new world, they are likely to meet and befriend these twelve types of people.

1. The First Week Friend

You'll be besties throughout all the welcome week activities and the first week of class, but fade away by midterms.

2. The Soul Sister

This person is an automatic life line for you. Not only can you hang with this person, you can study, vent, and rely on this person no matter what. Regardless of whether or not your personality types would've jived in the wonderful realm of high school, this friend will likely be your future child's godparent.

3. The Friday Friend

This friend has all the sick hookups to parties and you ramble about how much you love their friendship as you stumble home, but you strangely seem to lose touch on school nights.

4. The Politically Woke Friend

This friend might use you as a sound board to broadcast their views on current events and political theories. They may even encourage you to participate in canvasing or attend seminars. But, trust me, you will be extremely thankful for this friend come second semester when you have a better grasp on the infrastructure of our political systems.

5. The Just Plain Woke Friend

This friend will tell you which of your chakras most likely need clearing and, if they're feeling generous, will lend you a crystal to aid in your mediation. Do not write off this friend's beliefs - spirituality in any sense is beneficial to your human experience and a lot of practices have scientific benefits.

6. The 8 a.m. Life Line

This friend will always have your back if you sleep through your alarm, and your handwriting has improved by taking legible notes with them in mind.

7. The Club Chum

You'll find this friend in an extracurricular you're psyched about and will appreciate having someone to geek out with. You'll also have someone to pass notes to during long meetings or exchange pointers with after a game.

8. The Slacker Friend

"Wait, we had calc together? I never noticed you." Probably because they only showed up for the final. (Be prepared for texts asking for the class notes.)

9. The Try-Hard Friend

This friend will maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA and make you question not only your life choices, but that homework answer you replied differently to than them.

10. The Lunch Date

This friend has breaks between classes that coincide with yours and you're grateful for someone to talk about mindless things with them between intense classes.

11. The Social Butterfly

You'll likely have a hard time anchoring this person down for more than a minute because they're so involved, but you'll also meet a lot of cool new people from them.

12. The Crush with a Code Name

This code name was bestowed upon them by your soul sister so you can fan-girl over them without any nosy eavesdroppers blowing your cool cover.

13. Yourself

In college you realize you truly are your own best friend. Go find and love your bad self!
