7 Types Of People You Find On Your Floor
Student Health 101

Everybody lives with other people when they go to college, whether it be at a small Christian school or a large state school. Subsequently, everybody doesn't become everyone else's biggest fan. Here are 7 different types of people you are more than certain to run across on your floor at college:

1. The Bro

This guy is down for anything and everything. Give him the heads up and he will be excited to do anything you can imagine, definitely the type of person you want to befriend. Never will let you down, and you may never know why he is so cool, but you really do not care why.

2. The Resident Douchebag

3. The Ditz

This person is generally found to be clueless in many circumstances. Unfortunately, many folks tend to take advantage of this person, and the ditz will not even realize it. Do not abuse this person, but sometimes you cannot help yourselves or other people.

4. The R.A. (Resident Assistant)

Subsequently, all colleges have Resident Assistants (RA's) on each floor. They tend to be upperclassmen and are in charge of caring for their 'residents,' in a parent-like style. Buddy up with them, since they can help you figure out essentials, and they are also pivotal in getting you out of, or into, trouble.

5. The Regretful Hookup

You could not stop eyeballing and flirting with this person at the start of the term, and now that 'things have happened,' encounters are awkward whenever you see them. Everybody has had the misfortune of having one of these. The best advice here is to go about your days acting as though nothing happened, but that can be hard as well.

6. The Bookworm

Seldom is this person seen outside of their room, but that does not mean they are necessarily eerie. This person rather prefers to explore the worlds depicted in their novels instead of tangible reality. This person generally offers intellectual input whenever they are conversed with and it is keen to affiliate with this person.

7. The Gamer


Much like the bookworm, the gamer prefers an alternative reality, but this one is virtual. Often brandished off negatively, these people are generally spontaneous and you never know what to expect from them. They may need a little push, but hanging out with them can bring about a great time.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
