Five Guys You'll Meet In Your Pledge Class

Five Guys You'll Meet In Your Pledge Class

They are your best friends for the next four years. I might as well warn you.

The angel. He drank his first beer on bid day. He tries just a little bit too hard to fit in. His parents had dual heart attacks on parent’s weekend when they saw their little darling sporting a natty while coughing up his 10th cigarette since birth. He can kill a joke faster than he coughs up shots. He’s been in a relationship for the past four years and has no plans of ending it. He stands amidst house parties with a look that closely resembles that of a 10 year-old boy who has discovered the playboy channel.

The tank. He chuckles at the sight of a two story funnel. He started nose guard on his high school at 250. He boasts a carpet of chest hair that is repulsive in more ways than one. He drinks nonstop and is always in search of the post-bar, late-night party. He breaks things, a lot of things. He can say whatever he wants in public because no one in their right mind would poke a bear, especially one who just won the case race before 5 p.m.

Womanizer. He’s charming with a reputation to keep up. He’s your pretty boy bartender who manages to hit on a different girl every night. He’s a name and face that girls will associate with your fraternity with mixed feelings. He does not understand the term “wingman,” nor will he ever be one. He's the reason for countless grudges between sorority sisters. He hasn’t been in a relationship since middle school and she still drunk calls him every night.

The blackout. He is the normal American college student until happy hour comes to a close. His face appears more on bars' banned lists than it does in class. He doesn’t know what the inside of some bars look like despite throwing a bar stool or urinating in the trashcan at some point in all of them, just last week. All the bouncers know him by name and always assume he started the fight for a reason. He did start it. Every single time. 

Born and bred pain in the rear. English is his second language, after sarcasm. He maintains that everyone owes him some amount of money. He has never bought a round of shots, but you can bet that he’s the first to get his hands on a freebie. His tires are always squalling as he peels around every turn in the tank he calls a truck.  He’s the guy who gets you and all your friends arrested for the barrage of profanity he aimed at the nearest street cop.  Worst of all – he’s smiling in his mug shot.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
