Group projects are pretty much the worst kind of project and there are a variety of people you can be with for the majority of the project. Let’s hope that you don’t get stuck with any of these people…

1. The “Boss”

This is the person who takes charge from the very beginning, whether you like it or not. If she knows what she’s doing and also encourages others to pitch in, she’s awesome to have around. But, if she’s annoying and rude and does the entire project herself without letting you have a word in, she’s your worst nightmare.

2. The Late One

She’s mysteriously “always” busy when you’re group meets or “forgets” at the last minute. Point blank, she’s lazy as fuck and doesn’t even take the time to show up and showcase her laziness to the rest of the group.

3. The Lazy One

Subsequently, the lazy person is the one who does show up to meetings, but never contributes anything to the group. Sure, at least she showed up, but whenever you even mention her helping out she stares at you for ten minutes straight acting as if you just murdered her cat.

4. The Stoner

She always shows up with red, puffy eyes and smelling of a skunk… you’ve got yourself a stoner. If she’s the good kind of stoner, her pot-smoking will increase her ability to think intellectually and she’ll be an awesome asset to the group, but if she’s not so great, she’ll end up being fascinated by a mechanical pencil the entire time.

5. The Talker

Hopefully, you’ll have a talker in your group if the project is a presentation. She’ll volunteer to do all of the talking for the group, so no one has to be afraid of getting tongue-tied. If the project isn’t a presentation, she’ll slowly slip into insanity since her voice is the only thing she had to contribute to the entire process.

6. The Introvert

In a similar way, the introvert is the complete opposite of the talker. In a presentation, the introvert will always fuck it up unless a talker is in the group, but if so or if the project isn’t a presentation she’ll always be the smartest and most devoted member of the project.

7. The Jock

She has a game every time your group has a meeting, and when she finally makes it to the meetings she’s always dressed in spandex and smells like sweat. She’ll complain about how hungry she is from having to miss dinner for practice and chugging water for minutes at a time is the only contribution she’ll give to the group.

8. The Idiot

There is always one in every group, admit it. She’s dumb. She’s so dumb you wonder how she even was able to figure out how to apply to college. Most of the time, the idiot believes she knows what she’s talking about, and offers her opinion any chance she gets, but everyone just ignores her because they have no idea what she’s actually talking about.

9. The Couple

If you’re unfortunate enough to land these two in your group… good luck! Especially if they’re a new couple, they’ll be all over each other any chance they get. You turned your back for one minute to pick your pencil up off the floor and they're already naked by the time you turn back around.

10. The Peaker

The peaker is a breed of person who has no idea how royally fucked she is for college. She was the homecoming queen, cheer captain, and valedictorian of her class, but now she’s a C-student surviving on 3 hours of sleep a night and a bag of Cheetos for breakfast. She peaked in high school, and she’ll spend most of the project trying to convince everyone else she hasn’t.
