These individuals excel in their studies, fueled by both natural intelligence and hard work. From the ambitious Entrepreneur to the talented Theatre Person, each student on this list embodies a unique aspect of college life and showcases the diverse interests and passions found on campus.

The Academic

Also known as "the nerd." This stereotype still sort of exists in college; it’s just harder to spot. This person genuinely likes school and they are good at it because they’re naturally smart and they put in that work.

Still can’t decide if they want to work for Vineyard Vines, J. Crew, or Lily Pulizter when they graduate. They summer in Nantucket probably, and always look really put together.

The Theatre Person

Hobbies include acting, singing, dancing, making large hand motions and talking loudly and clearly. Their next show will apparently be the best show yet, and you can’t deny their talent.

The Entrepreneur

They kick-started the business club last year, are planning to move to New York to start work right after school, and they secretly want to be in “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

The Eco Rep

Always asking if you’re going to recycle that napkin, and gets frustrated when people put a compost item in the regular trash. #motherearth

The Athlete

Their sport takes up a lot of their time, but they love it. Always tryna improve their game and you’re a little jealous because they’re in incredible shape.

The Bio-chem Major

They’ve got big plans for the future that may include scrubs, lab coats and hospitals. Also, they either love or hate their organic chemistry class.

The Party-er

You honestly wonder how they have the time to go out the way they do, but you’re impressed and admire them a little... OK, a lot.

The Great Debater

They probably did well in Sociology 101 and know how to argue a point. They’re persuasive, witty, and like controversial topics.

The English Major

Still stuck in the library trying to finish a book that may or may not be for class. Always quoting some story or article they just read, and won’t admit it but they actually like reading and editing your papers.

The RA

Usually a super responsible and organized person–I mean, they're in charge of keeping up a good bulletin board and catching people in the wrong. People have mixed feelings about the RA, but they mean well. And they just want you to show up to the floor meeting.

The Art Major

They are amazing at drawing things and are super creative. But they’re always running off to the studio to paint/draw/sculpt.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
