12 People You're Bound To Live With In A Dorm

Ella Napton

For many of us living in a dorm is an exciting experience filled with a variety of characters. The people we live with (typically just doors away) can either make or break the dorm experience. Below are the different types of people you'll likely encounter living in a dorm.

1. The One Whose Grandma Always Makes Cookies and Cupcakes

This Grandma is the reason you never go hungry.

2. The Person Who Is Practically A Professional Athlete

And probably plays two or more sports at the collegiate level.

3. The One Who Never Seems To Leave Their Room

Except when they need to shower or eat.

4. The One Who Always Seems To Be Studying

Even if it's 2am on a Tuesday night (before break).

5. The Always Aesthetically Appealing Hipster-esque Person

How do they always seem to have something nice to wear?

6. The One Who Always Asks You To Help Them Reach The Amount They Need To Get Free Shipping

And you usually oblige.

7. The Person Who Is Super Into Anime

And they're really good at finding ones that end up getting you sucked in too.

8. The One Who Is From (Way) Out Of State

And you always secretly wonder why they chose to come to your state after living in such a cool place.

9. The Person Who Always Seems To Be Partying

To each their own!

10. The One You Only See When You're Going To The Bathroom At 1am

And you're in your Cookie Monster pajamas.

11. The Roommates who only seem to talk to each other

At least they get along.

12. Your best friend

Because let's face it, you all live around each other, it's bound to happen.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
