The 8 Types Of People You'll Meet In College—And You're One Of Them, Too

In This Article:

College is a crazy place. You see new people every day and still somehow run into the same people. It's crazy how many different personalities come together and interact on one campus. Some of them you'll become friends with, and others you'll try to avoid.

Chad

Everyone knows a Chad. He's in that one fraternity, and he probably comes to Monday morning lecture hungover from White Claws.

Kelly

Everyone knows a Kelly, too. You know, the girl who filters the crap out of her Instagram posts and is for some reason never in class? Oh, she's in that one sorority, too.

The Loudmouth

That one kid in class who can never seem to be quiet. Every time the professor says something, they can't go without making a comment. Half the time, it isn't even relevant.

That ~One~ Kid In The Group Project

Group projects—quite possibly the worst thing to be created in college. We all know that ONE person. The one who doesn't show up to class, open labs, or group meetings, but, somehow they still want a great participation grade?

The Partier

Much like Chad, this one seems to never be in class. They're either out every night or they're sleeping until 3 p.m. to get ready for the next night's event.

The One With The Huge Planner

This person is the one who has a color-coded planner. Each class has a different color, highlighter, and folder that corresponds to everything. Their planner and laptop are their life—without it, they would probably die. If they say they're failing the exam with their six different highlighters and pens, odds are you are too.

The Class Skipper

Pretty self-explanatory: the one who always skips class but is somehow still passing. We don't understand you people.

The Ghost

The ghost is that one friend who drops off the face of the Earth for weeks at a time. When they finally move out of the library, you see them for a few days, and *poof* they're gone again.

There are tons of personalities you meet at college, and these stereotypes may not do you or your friends justice. Although, we all know someone who can fit into at least one of these categories—which one are you?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
