The 5 Different Types Of People I Met In College

Some became my best friends, some came and left.

The 5 Different Types Of People I Met In College

Graduation ceremony at USC just recently happened. I was among the thousands of students who graduated from USC this year. Over the past four years, I've met a lot of people.

Some became my best friends, while others came and left.

If you are pre-college or are currently in college, you might want to know this. If you just graduated, you might nod your head like a ringing bell as you read this. Here are the types of people you might meet in college:

The Wild

Remember that roommate of yours who are almost never home at night? Or maybe, you are that roommate who always dresses up and goes out at night? Just be safe. That's all.

The Constantly Late

Whether it's late to class or to you guys' hangout. Don't you hate that text received at your scheduled meetup time, "I'm 2 min away!" or "I'm OMW!" (when you know they probably just got out of bed)? The best solution is honestly to set the "meetup time" 30 min earlier than when you actually want them to show up!

The "Phoner"

I would greatly appreciate it if you can just end that conversation with whoever you're texting or let me throw your phone into a ditch right now so that we can have a face-to-face conversation.

The Non-Responsive

What else do I need to say?

The "Let's Get Coffee Together Soon"


Still, some people do reply to texts, or sometimes you just randomly run into old "friends" on campus. They would smile/reply enthusiastically (or so it seems), "let's hang out together soon! I've missed you!" And then, that promise just goes straight into a black hole because they never really make any follow-up plan with you.

Don't be too discouraged by this list. I'm not saying if someone fits one of the types, they can't be your friend. Some of my best friends are chronically late or could hardly stick to our plans because we are all busy college students. But it's all about what the love and connection you have would compel them or you to do for each other in the end.

My roommates (aka. my best friends) surprised me with a 6-am farewell party/breakfast, the morning I was leaving for Tuscon, AZ, because we might not see each other for a long while. You bet that I cried like a baby because I know how getting up before noon on a weekend is almost "Mission Impossible" for them, but they got up at 5 just for me. In the end, they completed "Mission Impossible" because they love me. And I would do anything for them as well. That makes them my best friends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
