The Three Kinds Of College Freshman

Everyone in college is different in their own way.

The Three Kinds Of College Freshman

Everyone in college is different in their own way. But even here, people fall into what I would call, the three types. It sounds strange at first, but it really is the best way to introduce common stereotypes. Many people think that being categorized as a stereotype in college isn't the best thing, but you can find people who best fit your interests this way. Of course this doesn't mean you are going to be one of these three types of people, but it'll help give you a better understanding on what social group you might fit in.

1. The Bookworm

As the Bookworm, you'll most likely find that your room or the library, are your only safe places away from class. You take pleasure in studying and meeting deadlines, and especially not talking with people who don't already have a pre-existing relationship with you. Your roommates are your best friends as well, regardless if its one or four of them, they tend to make up most of your friend group. It's also possible that you're heavy into theater or are possibly a music major.

2. The One in a Relationship

Whether it's long distance or not, you still fall into this category. You are deeply invested in your relationship and your significant other is your best friend. When you aren't with each other you both tend to feel rather lonely, but you do have the same friends, so you're less inclined to neglect your other friends at the same time. Besides that, one or both of you probably a social science major or even a nursing major, because these types like to have someone by their side at all times.

3. The Socialite


These are the types of people who show up to the party every weekend, without fail. More or less known for having all the addressees stashed on their phone, in case of an emergency. They're incredibly friendly and aren't afraid to start conversations with random strangers. You can normally find them roaming around campus on weekdays, talking to people from all over. But on weekends, locate them at the club or the nearest party. They travel in packs of other socialites, people who tend to be just like them, for the sake of having a good time. These are normally the athletes or the commutation kids, generally the ones who like to talk a lot.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
