The 10 Friends You Have in College

Types of Friends as a College Student

University of Arizona

1. Roommates

You live with them, so naturally you are close and do a lot of basic life things together. Your family away from your real family.

2. Going Out Friends

This is your squad, the group that people see you in and the group you take the cheesy Thursday night balcony and white-wall pictures with. You have the best stories to go with this group of crazy fun ladies.

3. Bestie from Home

You FaceTime her every chance you get and sometimes you’re even closer with her now that you are apart because you’re making that extra effort to talk. This is the friend at home most likely to visit you in college.

4. Distant Friend from Home

This one you grew up with and can basically go the whole school year without talking, but your closeness and friendship never changes.

5. Mama

Yep, your mom becomes your very best friend when you go to college. You talk everyday, share way more with her, miss her lots and talk to her way more than when you even live with her. Every time she comes to visit is a treat and the most exciting part of your month.

6. Favorite Frat Friend

This is the girl you can call up no matter what point you are at in your night and she will drop everything she is doing to go to that fraternity you are both in love with (or let’s face it, she is probably already there).

7. Sorority Event Bestie

The girl you can call who is always going to dinner or that sisterhood event your roommates will not go to with you. She will also be your biggest supporter when it comes time for you to run for a position in the winter.

8. Major Buddies

Same classes, same goals, same career path. You study with them and you always have them to gush to over your incredible summer internship.

9. Work Friends

The people you vent to about rude customers and unreasonable bosses and coworkers. No one understands you quite like them or goes through the same hard work and struggles you do with a job whether it be from home this summer or an internship you spend your free time during the school year doing.

10. The Stand-in Mom/Family

This is the girl from your hometown, but she also came to college with you. She is your tiny piece of home, your rock. She keeps you grounded, while also letting you grow into your true self instead of the person you pretended to be in high school and growing up.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

259

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
