The 13 Types Of Friends You'll Make In College, No Exceptions

In This Article:

College is a place where you make friends and figure out who you are. When you are in college, you gain a wide range of friends that you might not even realize you have.

These are 13 types of friends you have in college.

1. The friends you go out with.

Pretty sure everyone has a specific girl gang that when they all get together, the night ends with a lot of weird drunk Snapchats and cry sessions over how much you love each other.

2. Your friend's friends.

You hang out with them when your friends are around, but going up to them when your friends aren't around feels awk.

3. You roommates.

You worry when they don't come home, you cook meals together and you hang out in your PJs and discuss your days together. You're basically married.

4. The friend that is just as horrible as you.

Sometimes you need to rant or make stupid decisions and just have someone who gets and encourages it.

5. You friends from home.

They will always have a place in your heart. They are proof that long distance relationships can work.

6. Friends you study with.

We all have one friend who lives in the library and is always super stressed about their grades and inspires you to stress about yours as well.

7. The friend you sit next to in class.

You ONLY see them in class and they are always your partner for assignments. The people you sit next to earn a special place in your heart for getting through the semester with you.

8. The friend you make plans with but never actually hangout with.

You guys always end up canceling or never make the time to do anything.

9. Your work friends.

These people somehow know all of your deepest and darkest secrets, even though you may never see them outside of work.

10. The friends you soft smile at in public but hug and talk to while drunk.

Acquaintances? Maybe that's what you call them...

11. Friend with the boyfriend/fling/hookup that you HATE.

She insists on bringing him around but you really can't stand the stupid smug look on his face.

12. The person you want to be best friends with but they are too cool for you.

Her Instagram feed is perfect. Her wardrobe is perfect. She's nice AND pretty. Just striving to have your life seem as put together as hers.

13. Your friend with all of the connections.

This girl knows every bouncer, can get you free Uber rides and you can't go out in public with her without AT LEAST five people recognizing her and saying hi.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
