College Students Described By "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

College just got a little sweeter.

College Students Described By "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

For many, college is a time of whimsy and wonder and weirdness, which basically sums up the entire plot of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." (Shoutout to Roald Dahl for writing the original book and making us all wish we had a chocolate river!) Although most college campuses will never be graced with the wonder that is actor Johnny Depp (sigh), you will likely stumble upon classmates who act like the characters in Tim Burton's whimsical comedy.


1. The Girl with No Chill

Every campus has a Violet Beauregarde: over-competitive, aggressive and, honestly, too tense. She's serious about everything: her gymnastics, her studies, you name it. Violet comes across as super abrasive, but deep down, she really is just feeling a little blue (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist).


2. The Over-Eager Freshman

Then there's the Charlie Bucket. He's just so excited to be a college kid. He's toured your campus four times, and he wears university apparel nearly every day.


3. The Kid Who's Always Eating

You see him in the dining halls. You see him by the vending machines. When he's in class, the Augustus Gloop of your campus is pulling snack after snack from his book bag. You can't tell if he's a stress-eater or on a high-calorie diet.


4. The Die-Hard Gamer

You may go days without seeing your campus' Mike Teavee, but you always know where he is. He's in his room, attempting to beat his newest game. You can hear him raging on the other side of the wall, which lets you know he's still alive.


5. The Senior Who Can't Even

Willy Wonka has been there and done that. Although he has some wild times with his close friends, he's slowly realizing that the golden years are nearly behind him. It's time to grow up and move on with life. Before he leaves his campus, however, he wants to leave a legacy. Now, if only he could find a protege to take under his wing...


6. The Kid Whose Parents Are Paying for Everything

Veruca Salt has her parents wrapped around her perfectly manicured fingers. She has an apartment near campus, a sports car to match her eyes, and a wardrobe full of outfits for every occasion. Let's not forget she has her tuition and fees paid, as well as a weekly allowance to go shopping or grab coffee.


7. The Short Girl with the Bad Spray-Tan

When you see the Oompa Loompas of your campus, you won't forget it. Their orange skin usually lingers into the cold, winter months.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
