The Types Of Guys You Meet In College

During a four-year span, there are a lot of people you can meet. This is no exception in college. Starting over and having to learn who everyone is not an easy task, however, the different guys that girls encounter are a completely different breed from those ever seen before. Learning who makes a good friend, boyfriend, hookup or even who to avoid can be a daunting task, but with some time, everyone hopefully gets the hang of it.

The Frat Star

The guy who genuinely thinks he can live his college years according to Animal House. He guy goes out on weekends AND most weeknights, and will never be caught without his letters. The only thing he knows how to talk about is the latest party his "frat" is throwing this weekend, and trying to convince everyone who will give him the time of day to show up.

The One You Friend-Zone

He's just more of a friend than anything. You could see him being your brother in an alternate universe, and the idea of dating just weirds you out. It does work out because Mayors of the Zone often times give the best advice on who would be the best guy because they still want you to be happy.

The F*ckboy

He's the one to avoid. You never fully know how many girls he's talking to at once, and despite promises that you are "the only girl," you hear at least three other stories of girls talking to him. He's flaky and only interested in you for things that aren't intellect based.

The Jock

The first words out of this guys mouth after their names are always "Oh I play _____." They usually have early morning practices, and crazy schedules so they can often be found in the dining halls together around the same time.

Mr. Perfect

He's the one who is just too good to be true, almost so much that he is avoided at all costs. There is no one human can be that perfect without flaws, or a past, it just is not possible.

The One Time Deal

You'll see him once, but after that, NEVER again. Except for those awkward times while you walk to class and see him with all his friends. No Ragrets, right?

The Nice One Who Turns Out to Not Be Nice

At first, this guy seems super nice, holding doors for you, talking about how Love is an Open Door, and offering to help you study for the classes he is good at, and you're not. But over time, he turns out not to be that sweet charming guy you thought he was. He just kind of turns out to be a jerk in disguise.

The Petty Pretty Boy

He's he may be easy on the eyes, but once you get to know him, his personality will drive you crazy. He's rather petty, and only really cares about his looks or his parents money or how much he spent on his newest pair of shoes.

The One Who Will Not Commit

He's the guy you want to date more than anything but is not interested in a relationship at the time. Despite best efforts, there is nothing to be done about his commitment issues. After you two establish that what you have "is not a relationship", he begins to fade out of your life slowly, then all at once. Then the only times you see him is with the next girl, but he's not going to commit to her and not you, you think.

The Sensitive One

The guy who is very in touch with his emotions and everyone knows it. It is not a bad thing, but you sometimes feel as if he is a little much.

The Lobby Creeper

He's the one who is always in your residence hall lobby. It does not matter what time of the day it is, the Lobby Creeper will be there. He waits until night to strike and talks to the girls who come back crying because they've had a little too much to drink and are emotionally distraught about some "jerk" they thought they were seeing.

The One Who is Stuck in High School

This guy keeps reminding everyone he was hot shit in high school. We get it, now shut up.

The Dad

He's the one who cleans up everyone's messes. He makes sure you don't go home with some guy you would regret, and is always on call for when you need him to come get you.

The One Who Came to College With a Girlfriend

Whether he came with a girlfriend to college or left her back home and is trying long distance, he is one not to mess with. The only think you'll ever be with him is a friend, but that is not the worst thing in the world.

The Nerd

He's the one who you keep around because he knows virtually everything. No matter what subject you're struggling in, he has you covered.

The Drunk Call

He's the one who you ALWAYS seem too drunk call no matter what the situation with you two is. Even when you have his number blocked, you still find a way to call him and mumble some type of nonsense. He only answers half the time, but half the time is probably better.

The One Who Always Wants to "Netflix and Chill"


That one guy who will never leave you alone with his incessant texts of "Hey wanna Netflix and chill?" You just want him to get the hint and leave you alone already.

THE One????

You just haven't met this one yet. You don't know who, what, where, when, why or how, but if the fairytale romcoms are right, you'll meet him sooner rather than later. Or not, who really knows.

The Best-est Person You'll Ever Meet

He's your best friend. He's the best mix of "The Guy You Friend-Zoned" and "The Dad." He's the one who is there to pick up all the pieces when boys get too mean, or when you want to go get cookies at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night. He's the one who you can text at any hour and know he will text you back, or just show up in your room and join in on whatever conversation you are having. He will come get you from any bad situation and has saved your sorry ass many times. He is one of the best people in your life, and you wouldn't want it any other way.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
