15 People You Meet In College

College is a time of change. In high school what you see if usually what you get but not in college. There are people trying to completely change who they are. There are people who probably should change who they are. Then there are people who you just can’t quite figure out who they are. And suddenly all these people are living in one place, together. You have classes with them, you eat with them and you might even sleep in the same room as them. Some are good and some are bad but at the end of the day you’ll probably become friends with them.

1. Mama’s Boy

You know the guy who has never touched a washing machine and whose mom makes sure he always has more than enough money in his bank account.

2. The Foreigner

They live in America now but they weren’t born here and they're still adjusting to American culture, but you are so thankful to learn about their culture as well.

3. The Spoiled Princess

Similar to mama’s boy, but she also thinks the world revolves around her and does not feel the need to learn how to survive on her own.

4. The Alcoholic

No one knows when they started drinking, you just know that they haven’t stopped since you met them.

5. The Homebody

They live on campus Monday through Friday, but pack their car every weekend to go back home.

6. The Badass

You know the person who terrified you in high school? That person is somehow less scary in college.

7. The Flirt

They are always talking to someone, no matter when or where.

8. The Hipster

Their style is amazing although you struggle with their music.

9. Jesus Freak

JC is their #1 and they will let you know.

10. The Partier

Every weekend you know exactly what thy are up to.

11. The Potential Drop Out

You’ve never seen them pick up their backpack and it’s possible they haven’t been to class in a week.

12. The Stoner

Have you ever had a sober conversation with this person? Not sure. But at least their tapestry is cool.

13. The Try Hard

Yep they’re the person in the library all night. You want to be them but at the same time you don’t. You’re not to sure if it’s worth it.

14. The Mom/ Dad

They are always prepared. They are also always telling you how to improve yourself.

15. The Overachiever

Different from the try hard. This person does it all. They have great grades, a good social life and are involved in everything on campus. You’re not sure how they do it, you just observe them from afar.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
