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?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
