OK, so college is the ultimate mixing pot of people. Especially if it’s a university with a large amount of students from out of state because you get bits and pieces of all different personalities. These are the ones who will stand out the most.

1. The Hippies

The Hippies are pretty awesome I must say. They’re super progressive and most of the time don’t give a crap about what other people think of them. They’re the girls who never wear a bra because why not man? They’re the ones who are all into dream interpretation and meditation. These are some great people to hang out with because afterwards you just feel so at peace and zen with the world.

2. The Athletes

This is a really obvious crowd and can at times appear like a clique. Don’t worry they’re just as sociable with non athletes, you just have to come to them. They are the eye candy of the campus. All of them are in peak physical condition from all their early morning workouts and seeing those short runner shorts on guys is just good for the soul.

3. That one guy who ALWAYS HAS A GUITAR

Alright, this guy is the WORST. He’s a jam and really a fun person but still, beware this man. He is charming and fairly talented at times but if you hear the deadly words “Wonderwall” or “Wagon Wheel” RUN. FOR. YOUR. LIFE. Where there is a guy with a guitar there are four chords and every wanna-be singer in a chorus of cacophony. It’s quite terrifying.

4. The Hipster Gods

All hail the hipster gods. They are the kings and queens of the college campus. Everyone loves/hates them because they want to be them. The thing about these deities is they don’t acknowledge that they are superior beings, they just ARE. Their fashion sense is on point. They have strong progressive opinions but keep it to themselves because they respect other people. They are effortlessly cool. They share a lot in common with hippies but aren’t as into all the essential oils and meditation and crystals. To gain the approval of a hipster god is the greatest honor to be bestowed. Who needs a degree when you can just get amazing people to like you?

5. The Nerds/Geeks/Weirdos (that have more fun than you)

Just letting you know, these people are the rockstars of college. They are the anime lovers, the cosplayers, the comic book readers, the people who are most likely smarter than everyone else. They don’t need people to like them or think they’re cool. They are so passionate about their own interests that they learn to just roll with what they like and that’s where they’ll find people they really want to hang with. You may think these people are strange and awkward but trust me, they are enjoying life more than most people ever will.

6. The Smilers

The name is deceiving. Smilers are the people that are basically always posing for the happy family picture. They want you to think that everything is perfect and wonderful in their world. They kiss up because they think that’s the only way to get you to like them. They may seem bold and outgoing but they are truly afraid of being anything less than perfect. These are the people you should definitely be nice to and who you should try not to be. It’s a dangerous game they play and you’ll learn that perfectionism is more detrimental than it is helpful.

7. The Raging Partiers

These are the alcoholics in the making. College is their time to own the weekend. They go all out to have a good time. The weekend is their chance to live every second like it’s their last. Some partiers are amazingly genuine people who use parties to loosen up and have an easier time connecting with people and sharing good vibes. Others are not so nice people who like to think they’re better than everyone else because they use alcohol and drugs and go crazy. Those are the typical frat boys that we see on TV and movies. They’re rare but they do show up. Be careful.

8. The Effortless Talent

These are the most obnoxious and annoying people EVER, simply because everything comes so easy to them it seems. These people seem to never have to study or practice to succeed. The thing they don’t know is that it never lasts. These people often fall behind and suffer later on because they didn’t challenge themselves enough to be able to progress with everyone else. So, when things start getting harder they tend to be the first ones to crack. Be prepared if you think you might be this person. Also be prepared to help your friend if you think they are this person.

9. The Quiet Ones

These people slip under the radar quite successfully. It can be hard to do especially on a small campus but these people are the masters. They successfully escape the spotlight and they like it that way. Either they are uncomfortable with socializing or they just don’t like any of you people. Either way they are the masters of the universe. They are brilliant thinkers. They are the ones who secretly know the answers to basically all of your questions but say nothing cause, like I said, they probably don’t like you. They are the ones who work harder and do more than everyone else but don’t brag about or try to show off. They don’t need to prove their skills ever. And when they do speak up, it's a spectacle to behold.

10. The Screamers

No they don’t actually scream and no this is not about screamers of the sexual nature. These are the people who are just loud. Nothing about them is quiet. Their personalities, their voices, their sense of style, etc. Everything is ramped up to 100. They may not even mean to be loud. You just have to remind them “Hey, I’m pretty sure that teacher you’re smack talking is right around the corner and heard everything you just said.”

So, did I cover everyone? Probably not, it is a short list. Can you figure out who you are on this list? Incoming freshman, get ready.
