College is a new and exciting experience. However, there is the challenge of learning to live with different types of people. These are just some of the types that you will experience while living in a dorm freshman year.

1. Musicians

These are the music majors. Always nice and friendly, but hardly around. The only time they alert you to their presence is when they’re practicing their musical instrument when you’re trying to nap.

2. Drug dealers

Yes, they exist in every college dorm and on every floor. They operate under stealth-like circumstances, but everyone knows what sort of business they’re conducting. And after a few months, you won’t even blink twice over the smells emanating from their room. P.S. Febreeze only makes it worse.

3. The lovers

This is the floor’s resident couple. They are super nice and sweet, but you eye them with envy every time they pass you while going to one of their rooms. Other days you wish you didn’t live on the other side of that wall.

4. The partiers

These people treat every day like it’s the weekend. The pregaming in the dorms is alright, as long as they’re mostly quiet while you’re trying to get work done. The mess in the communal bathroom at 4 a.m. is less than pleasant on most nights.

5. Music aficionados

The music efficanatos are who everyone wishes they had living on their floor. Even when the floor is at its quietest you can always hear music coming from their room. You learn some new artists and it’s great music to listen to while studying.

6. Ghosts

The Ghosts are the people you completely forgot live on your floor. You rarely see them and when you do it’s at odd hours of the day. You only exchange quick smiles when you pass them in the hall and you wonder where they spend all their time.

7. Your friends

These are the people you meet and instantly hit it off with. You spend your weekends with them and have shared so many laughs and jokes. These people make college what it’s all about.
