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.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
