The 5 Types Of Guys You Meet In College

Which one are you dating?

1. The Bro

His life's motto is "bros before hoes," and it is almost impossible to change this. This one's main priority is Thursday night though Saturday night, not you. He's the one who will ignore you the entire length of the party but text you at 3:00 a.m. just to "see what's up." He probably drinks more beer than water and personal hygiene is far from the top of his list of importance. He invented the side bangs in 7th grade and was the first of his friends to get his ears pierced. Don't get me wrong, the bro type has incredible friendship potential, but I wouldn't recommend anything further.

2. The Homesick

Sometimes in college you encounter those guys who haven't let high school go yet. His group of friends in high school was seriously close. This is the guy who can't wait for holiday break to see what everyone in his hometown is up to... even after two or three years of being away. There is a good probability that he is in a long distance relationship with his high school sweetheart, however if he isn't, you have a good shot at him. Just be careful, infiltrating his friend group is a heavy task.

3. The Hidden Agenda

You can't spell Manipulator without Man, am I right?! This guy will pick you up and drop you flat on your ass. You can blame him for your temporary hatred of the male species. His mastery of deception will persuade you into thinking that he is all yours. It is inevitable that you will fall for it because, c'mon, who wouldn't? He says and he does all the right things. The hidden agenda doesn't just know how to play the game, he invented it. But, the time will come when he learns he can't have his cake and eat it too (AKA you will realize he has been playing you the whole time).

4. The Too Good to be True

You know when you meet a guy and he seems so awesome that you have to ask yourself "What's the catch"? Well that is this guy. He knows the importance of an impeccable first impression and delivers a flawless execution. However, like an onion, you have to peel this one back a layer at a time. You'll begin to fall for his impressive I-totally-have-my-life-together exterior only to find out that he is actually pretty nuts. Whether its that he is the overly jealous controlling type, maybe he comes with pounds and pounds of emotional baggage, or perhaps a bit more extreme like a weird fetish of some sort, there is definitely more than meets the eye with this guy.

5. The Keeper

But sometimes, despite all of the corruption that college is capable of, you find the perfect guy. He is the too-good-to-be-true without the catch. Let me just say this loud and clear: These guys are very rare (especially in college). Hold onto him. He probably doesn't have everything figured out, and dating this guy is by no means a marriage proposal, but let's just say if you're the one who ruins it, he will forever be the one who got away. Don't let him.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
