2. The ladies man

Giphy

You literally will never seen them studying, but somehow they still make insanely good grades.

Giphy

This is someone who isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right and will be one of the leading motivators.

8. The partier

Giphy

Don’t even bother going into their room after 9pm on the weekends because they probably won’t be there. They also make sure that they have the hangout room during the week.

9. The roommate

Giphy

You wouldn’t even be friends if you weren’t already friends with their roommate. However, you couldn’t imagine your life without them now.

10. The friend you never saw coming

You will meet in the most random way, but they will become one of your closest friends.

Have you ever seen a 19 year old who looks like they can easily pass for 24? Well, you will.

12. The hometown lover

Their hometown is a point of pride for them. You will know their favorite spots in town before even visiting.

13. The sheltered one

They will be a little shy and sheltered coming into college, but the new environment will open their eyes to a lot.

14. The sweetheart

Giphy

This person is someone who is always there to listen to any problem you have, will give you great hugs, and always will put others before them self.

15 and 16. The couple

Giphy

They will be your college couple goals! You may see them apart a few times, but they are so good together that you won’t even mind.

17. The best friend

Giphy

This will be the person that your soul finds. The person who will one day be at your wedding and see your kids. Don’t let this person go.

18. The true you

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much.

Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.
