11 Types of College Students

We all know those people who give us a little eye twitch every time we're around them.

11 Types of College Students

1) The kid who rides to class on a motorized skateboard

Listen, I have to give you props for creativity, but please stop nearly running me over while you zoom to class. Walk like the rest of us, we have to burn off that Freshman 15 weight somehow.

2) The athletes

I understand that you played soccer in high school, but the intramural team game isn't the Fifa World Cup. Also, to the athletes actually on teams, we get it- you're an athlete. You don't have to wear your Nike branded backpack, shorts, t-shirt, and shoes every time you go to class. Do you own nothing other than what your coach gave you to wear?

3) The sorority girl

This is essentially the same thing as a VSCO girl. Scrunchies, fabric headbands, Kendra Scott necklaces, Lokai and Pura Vida bracelets, Hydroflask covered in stickers, Macbook, also covered in stickers, an oversized t-shirt, Nike sneakers, and a thrilling choice between Nike shorts and Lululemon leggings.

4) The guy who always wears suits

I'm all for cutting guys slack for wearing suits during fraternity pledging, but the guy that wears one every. single. day. needs to calm down. This student likes dressing up for the first day of school…and made it last all year.

5) The people who always seem to be in their hammocks

Do you guys go to class? Or do you just sit on the quad all day? These students may appear to be studious, always accompanied in their hammocks by their laptops, but in reality they just watch Netflix all day.

6) The studious one

We all know the people that are ready to cry after getting less than an A on any assignment. One sage piece of advice: C's get degrees, folks.

7) The frat guy

His name is probably Brad, Chad, or Thad, and his hobbies include shotgunning beers, Juuling, and punching holes in his wall. His room is covered in empty beer cans, and there's a bong on his table. A sports game is on the tv. Can you see it as vividly as I can?

8) The gym rat

This student cannot get through a conversation without mentioning their gym habits. They went to the gym at 6am this morning, got in a quick workout after a healthy lunch, and like to go at night to de-stress from the day. How do you get any work done?

9) The student always complaining about their workload- with an easy major

Seriously, how hard can a sociology or English major be? Please leave space in the library for chemistry and engineering majors.

10) The organized one

This is the girl who sits next to you in class and takes color-coded notes every day in 7 different kinds of highlighters and pens. And her handwriting is so neat! She lives in the library and is always studying. You're jealous of her dedication, be honest.

11) The one that doesn't have to try

These are the people who go out and party the night before a test, and, with no studying whatsoever, get a 91 on the test when the class average was a 67. Stop ruining the curve!

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.

"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.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
