7 Types Of People You Find On Your Floor

Colleges may all be differerent, but certain attributes in people seem to linger across all types of residential halls.

Everybody lives with other people when they go to college, whether it be at a small Christian school or a large state school. Subsequently, everybody doesn't become everyone else's biggest fan. Here are 7 different types of people you are more than certain to run across on your floor at college:


1. The Bro

This guy is down for anything and everything. Give him the heads up and he will be excited to do anything you can imagine, definitely the type of person you want to befriend. Never will let you down, and you may never know why he is so cool, but you really do not care why.


2. The Resident Douchebag

You probably will not see this guy often, as this guy's always going around trying to find something cynical to do. This person does not draw many friends, but likes to think otherwise. They also falsely believe that being rude to everyone is funny and that is the key to happiness. Needless to say, steer clear of this bigot.


3. The Ditz

This person is generally found to be clueless in many circumstances. Unfortunately, many folks tend to take advantage of this person, and the ditz will not even realize it. Do not abuse this person, but sometimes you cannot help yourselves or other people.


4. The R.A. (Resident Assistant)

Subsequently, all colleges have Resident Assistants (RA's) on each floor. They tend to be upperclassmen and are in charge of caring for their 'residents,' in a parent-like style. Buddy up with them since they can help you figure out essentials, and they are also pivotal in getting you out of, or into, trouble.


5. The Regretful Hookup

You could not stop eyeballing and flirting with this person at the start of the term, and now that 'things have happened,' encounters are awkward whenever you see them. Everybody has had the misfortune of having one of these. The best advice here is to go about your days acting as though nothing happened, but that can be hard as well.


6. The Bookworm

Seldom is this person seen outside of their room, but that does not mean they are necessarily eerie. This person rather prefers to explore the worlds depicted in their novels instead of tangible reality. This person generally offers intellectual input whenever they are conversed with and it is keen to affiliate with this person.


7. The Gamer


Much like the bookworm, the gamer prefers an alternative reality, but this one is virtual. Often brandished off negatively, these people are generally spontaneous and you never know what to expect from them. They may need a little push, but hanging out with them can bring about a great time.

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.
