College can be some of best years of your life if you surround yourself with the right people. Here are the five types of people I think you’ll need in college.

1. The Partying Friend

This is the friend you’ll never see doing homework. Sometimes you even question if they actually go to the same school as you. This friend helps remind you to enjoy college and not focus too much on school. This friend is good to have so you’re not sitting alone in your dorm on a Saturday night while everyone else is out having fun.

2.The “mom” friend

Did you cut yourself? Don’t worry this friend has Band-Aids on her. Feeling sick? She has medicine. Let’s face it, when you’re not around your actual mom as often this friend comes in handy. She’ll take care of you when you’re getting out of hand, and will always comfort you when you screw something up. She’s your college mom.

3. The studious friend

If you only have friends with partying friends, they won’t remind you to do your homework. Having studious friends always remind you to study and stay on top of your schoolwork. Plus if you’ve taken a class that they have already taken they can help you if you need it. Having a friend like this in your major is a plus.

4. The adventurous friend

This is the friend that’s always up to do anything at any time. You wanna go on a Wawa run at 3 in the morning? This friend will always be up for that. Wanna go on a hike? This friend is up for that. It’s good to have that spontaneous friend that gets you to act on impulse.

5. The Straightforward Friend

This friend tells you how it is. They are upfront and tell you when you’re acting irrational or being just plain stupid. You might get mad at this friend because they might not always say what you want to here. But their honesty can help you become a better person as a whole.
