The 5 Types Of Guys You Meet In College

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.

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.
