You see some of the most inexplicable things at college -- sometimes they're so inexplicable, that you have to compare it to your favorite TV show to make sense. Here are a few characters from "How I Met Your Mother" who you may or may not run into around campus:
1. Lily Aldrin
The dedicated education major.
Yes, they are aware of the pay, but they are some of the nicest people you'll come across. They have an extreme amount of patience and are normally the sane one of your friend group. You'll catch them at teaching seminars or off campus trying to get their practicum hours in.
2. Marshall Eriksen
The giant teddy bear.
Despite their excessive hours in the gym and intimidating demeanor, these guys are nothing but friendly giants who make campus seem warm and inviting.
3. Ted Mosby
The "tries too hard to connect with his students" professor.
Some professors understand boundaries, then there are those who invite themselves to group study sessions -- and of course, try too hard to pickup on their students' slang and lingo.
4. Robin Scherbatsky
The communications major.
If you come across a Robin, then you'll find out that they're independent and hard-headed. You'll either find them in the library catching up on current events or at sports games trying to find their way onto the camera.
5. Barney Stinson
The individual who most likely is carrying an STD.
They didn't come to college for a higher education, and they often kept a sheet of how many girls they've slept with in their lifetime. The best time to catch them is during those early morning "walk of shames."
6. Ranjit Singh
The friend with a car.
To those unfortunate souls who don't have a reliable source of transportation, they have that one friend who will come in clutch when they're in need of a desperate midnight snack.
7. Carl Maclaren
The friend with the fake ID.
Half of college is normally experienced trying new drinks. Thanks to this guy, he makes getting your hands on booze a little bit easier.
8. Zoey Pierson
The hippie with a heart.
You'll most likely see this person walking around campus rocking their Chacos and Northface backpack. They are aware of everything that goes into their body and can normally be found at a local coffee shop.
9. Sandy Rivers
The narcissist (who has spent the past three semesters trying to pass the same class).
Even though high school is long behind us, there's still those few who think that they own the campus. They walk around with a puffed up chest and try to sneakily mention their time share on Laguna beach into every conversation.
