10 College Students You'll Absolutely Meet On Campus
Dhruva Reddy

College, man. That's where you will meet the most interesting people that have ever walked the earth. High school seems so small now, and college is almost like a mixture of high school communities. At college, there are people from international countries, people from small exotic islands, people from the common states of America, people who are rebels at heart, people who are scholars, and etc. So if you're interested in what types of people you will meet in college, read on.

1. The friend who wants to roast you 24/7 (because that's how they show they care).

Yep, if you don't have one, you're lucky. This friend is the friend that makes your life go by faster because you are actually looking forward to leaving them because they embarrass you so much. Sometimes, you wish that you've never met them. But, internally, you love them because they always know how to make you laugh when you're having the worst day of your life.

They know all the best memes, the roasts, and tease you a lot. They try to build you up by putting you down, but that's just how they are. Accept it, and just live with them because they are bound to live in your life LONG-TERM and you will probably never escape. That's the truth. And if they do leave, be ready to see them come back and send you a random GIF in the mornings.

2. The dude who's always bragging about himself.

It's really annoying honestly. Picture this: you're walking into your first class of the morning, and you pick a seat in the middle. The middle, because you don't want to sit too close to the professor in the front, and you don't want to sit all the way in the back just because people will assume you're that lazy kid. You're rummaging through your bag for your notebook and your pens, when all of a sudden, some dude taps you on the shoulder and introduces himself.

You think to yourself: wow he's chill. Your thoughts remain the same until he suddenly launches into his life story about why he came to college, and what made him become the way he is. He lists his achievements all the way from grade school, and he's leaving no space for you to cut in. When class ends and he leaves abruptly, you began to realize that he wasted your time. Were you in some sort of job interview where you were looking for the next best leader?

3. The people that judge you high-key/low-key.

Yep, those people. The people who look you up and down when you cross the street. The people who talk to you with a smile on their face, but you know they're talking about you to their friends that's sitting across the room. The people who laugh at your jokes, but are thinking that you have really dry humor. I try to avoid them, but they honestly seem to be everywhere. It's like, "Hey, what're you thinking? Please don't judge me from my exterior. Get to know me first." College is supposed to be a time of experience, not a place of judgment.

4. The athletic girl that posts way too much on Instagram.

You know who you are. The athletic girls who go to the gym every morning to work on her calves. The ones who take a pic to show off their daily workouts. I admire you guys, A LOT. I mean, to have some sort of commitment by getting off from the couch to go into a public recreation room and use the equipment.

Like, even if I try, I end up bringing junk food with me and just eating it there and end up watching all the healthy people go on and off with their strenuous exercises. When I check Instagram, I try to follow all the fitness pages because that's just the easiest way to get a taste of "what being athletic feels like."

5. Greek Life Peeps.

Sigh, school spirit. It's the people in Greek Life that keeps it strong and going. Pretty much enough said. The posters, the cheer team, the social activities, is what keeps the people going. Most of us in college are too lazy to get into social life so most of us don't bother trying because of a) we are either too lazy to make the effort or b) we're socially awkward. Greek Life is what keeps everybody connected, and to be as committed as them is a huge sacrifice.

So, if you're a freshman, new to the college campus, be sure to stop by and acknowledge them since that can go a long way.

6. The nice girl/nice guy.

Nice girls/nice guys finish last. Let's just stop remembering that motto every time we meet a nice girl or nice guy, can we? Just don't take them for granted. In fact, everywhere we go, they're the ones that make life look a ton better. Most of them are genuinely positive or try to be. They hate bringing others down with their personal problems, and they intentionally try to be there for everyone. They recognize the sacrifices that are needed to be the best person they can possibly be, but the worst thing of all, they get overlooked easily.

People believe they are fake, and most just stay away from them since they believe that they are bland and tries too hard to be a people-pleaser. Quite the opposite actually. They try to make the world a better place, if you have a friend like them, you are guaranteed to always have someone by your side.

7. That smart kid in class.

Half of the time, you wonder how they can possibly go to YOUR school. Most of the things that they say leave you speechless. It's like when they are silent, you wonder what's going through their minds. Are they thinking about the next genius thing they are gonna say? Or are they merely judging everyone in the class because they're stupid? Are they merely just going about their business?

And if you're lucky, and you sit right next to them in the class, you can ask them to help you in class. (Don't rely on them too much though...they might get annoyed.) Trust me, I learned my lesson. (Also don't try to be their friend just to use them). They will see right through you. Just preserve the peace and marvel from afar, because they are just too good for you.

8. That quiet kid that you just wonder about.

Has he ever spoke? Has she ever laughed before? Those quiet kids though. They are the epitome of mystery. They've been around you, but you've never heard them utter a sound. You try to speak to them, but they just look at you like they don't want to speak, with that expression; and you wonder what you possibly did wrong. However, they become good friends in the end, since they are intimidating to everyone, so watch out, when you see a quiet kid lurking around.

9. The kid with good music taste.

Pretty much exactly what it is. Not the mainstream pop good music taste, but more like a rocker edgy style to it. Because people like that are super difficult to find.

10. The writer/journalist.

So I saved the best for last, because why not? So here I am, writing to you about the 10 types of people on campus... there's definitely more but here's all I have for now. Until next time!
