Gotta meet 'em all. Maybe.

If The Different Types Of People You Meet At College Were Pokémon

It's no secret that "Pokémon Go" has been taking the world by storm. By now, it's racked up nearly 21 million daily users. Rather, the bigger surprise may be the unexpected age group of that statistic: college-aged, 18- to 22-year-olds. Maybe it's just because we love the nostalgia behind it all, but I like to think it's because Pokémon are pretty similar to the people we surround ourselves with on a daily basis at college.

1. Lickitung is the person who loves to photobomb every picture at a party.

2. Bulbasaur tells you all about sustainability and gives out reusable containers to encourage recycling.

3. Eevee is the "basic bitch" who takes a picture of her textbook and Starbucks cup, captioning it on Instagram as #finals.

4. Cubone is that kid who still thinks blink-182 and Sum 41 are considered punk.

5. Slowpoke is that person who always shows up 20 minutes late to class - and it's the wrong one.

6. Oddish is the person who smoked once in high school yet still owns weed-patterned socks.

7. Gloom experiments with hard drugs. A lot of them.

8. Vileplume is always happy and smiling, most likely because they're on a never-ending trip.

9. Chansey is the mom of the friend group who only slightly judges you for your stupid weekend mistakes.

10. Exeggcute can't go anywhere without their squad of friends.

11. Mr. Mime is that kid who's oddly obsessed with "Hamilton" and belongs to an acapella group or the theater company.

12. Jynx proudly does the walk of shame every Saturday morning.

13. Butterfree advocates equality in the workplace, hates gender norms and uses hashtags on Twitter to let everyone know they #FeelTheBern.

14. Krabby is the person rumored to have STD's.

15. Jigglypuff always has his guitar out but only knows how to play "Wonderwall."

16. Snorlax gained the Freshman 15 the first month of school, but embraces it and reminds you that "dad bods are in."

17. Ninetales is the girl who shows up to class with a full face of make-up, her hair perfectly straightened and her life seemingly together.

18. Meanwhile, Nidoran♀ shows up to class in sweatpants and probably hasn't slept in a week.

19. Geodude is the guy with too much testosterone when he's drunk.

20. Dragonite says hello to you every time you pass them on campus, but you've never had a conversation with them and you're pretty sure they don't even know your name.

21. Blastoise is president of his fraternity and just wants to get drunk with his newest pledge, Squirtle.


22. Psyduck posts in the class Facebook group to see if anyone has the syllabus, understands the assignment, or knows when it's due.

23. Hitmonchan is the well-rounded athlete focused on balancing their sport and their 3.71 GPA.

24. Pikachu is the name on campus that everyone knows, whether it's for good or bad.

25. Drowzee gets to class early just to make sure he can get a seat in the back so he can watch Netflix on his laptop.

26. Machamp peaked in high school.

27. And Lapras sinks the last cup in beer pong every time - and makes sure you never forget it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
