Turn Down For What?

Going out to a party with your friends is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone, and it usually is. But as every good college girl knows, even the most sane of friends can become a completely different person with help from a little liquid courage and the musical stylings of Lil Jon... YEEA-UHH. Although you can find many types of girls at any typical college soiree, I have narrowed it down to the top eight that we all know and love.

1. Cryer. We all know her; we all hate her. Chances are that at some point in your partying career, you have been this girl. For whatever reason this is the girl that starts crying halfway through the party and won’t stop till she goes to bed or is consoled with Jimmy John’s, whichever comes first. Of course no one really knows what she’s crying about in the first place.

2. Best Friend. This is the girl you just met in the bathroom five minutes ago but feel like you have known your whole life.  Talking about the lack of TP and yummy drinks downstairs have created some sort of connection between the two of you. You wonder, could this be my soul sister? Future bridesmaid? Where has this girl been all my life? But these new besties usually last no longer than a few hours and in the morning she will be nothing but a distant memory.  

3. Leader. Usually the mother of the group this is the girl responsible for rallying up her friends getting them all back home safely. She can usually be found charging through a crowd of party goers, leading some shambly mess out by the wrist. God love her.

4. “When are we going home?” Better known as the party-pooper, this girl is ready to leave as soon as she arrives. Hearing her whining throughout the night will definitely put a damper on everyone's night.

5. Loud Girl. If you thought she was loud before, prepare yourself. Later in the night, she's likely to turn into a sonic boom of sorts. Not only does she talk at an ungodly volume, she also repeats herself several times, just in case you didn’t hear her before. 

6. Vanishing Act. Just like magic, this is the friend that always seems to disappear at some point in the night. which really isn’t surprising anymore because she has a habit of doing this. Nevertheless this friend is The Leaders worst nightmare. There's nothing worse than getting a driver and having to scramble around looking for your missing friend.

7. Wild Child. It’s 4 a..m. and instead of passing out like the rest of your friends, this girl is wired for sound. How she got so much energy is a mystery to the rest of the group who was just lucky enough to drag themselves back home, forget staying up any later. 

8. Train Wreck. The phrase, “hoping for the best but expecting the worst” really applies to this gem. Combine the crier, vanishing act, and wild child throw in a dash of hot mess and poor sense of balance and sha-zam … the train wreck is born. You know better than to go out with her but continue to do it because she promises to straighten up… lies.
