Types Of People You Live With In College

Types Of People You Live With In College
Zoe Gregorace

In college, you will have all sorts of interesting living arrangements with equally interesting people. I currently live in a sophomore suite-style dorm with 9 other ridiculous human beings. From spontaneous late night dance parties after what seems like hours (in most cases minutes) of productivity, belting “Part Of Your World” at the top of our lungs, or just having deep conversations about our love lives/ lack thereof, there is never a dull moment.

Here are some of the types of people you should expect to live with in college…


The “Crafter”

She has a hot-glue gun and she is not afraid to use it. This person has a beautiful, comforting soul and always keeps the suite updated with Pinterest inspired décor. You can always count on her to keep the living space festive and homey.

The “Danny Tanner”

Don’t be alarmed when you wake up after a night out and can actually see the common room floor. The dirt devil is her best friend and she will Swiffer the f*** out of any hard-tile surface. She deserves much more appreciation for her willingness to clean up our mess because lets face it, who will own up to the spilt easy mac smeared on the rug or even the clusterf*** of hair stuck to the shower walls.


The Edgy, Fashion Forward One

“Does this dress make me look fat?”, “Which shoes go better?”, “Is my eyeliner even?”. You can almost always rely on her for straight up, unfiltered opinions and advice regarding any wardrobe choice or styling dilemma. Sometimes, brutal honesty is a great thing and it will prevent you from looking like last season’s hot mess on a Saturday night.

The “bubbly one”- Whenever you miss home or just feel down, she is always there to lift your spirits. Her smile is as contagious as mono and you can’t help but laugh at her adorable stash or puppy vines. She is a great source of stress relief and can help you look on the bright side of any frustrating situation.

The “Mom”

She is the responsible one, stays in on the weekends and is a stranger to the inevitable Sunday hangover. An old soul at heart, her wise words and motherly love provides great comfort and inspires us to just be better, more put together people. Even if she makes you feel guilty for a plethora of your own questionable decisions, you know she will give you the biggest hug after only judging you a little bit.

The “story teller”- Sunday mornings in the common room are always fun once she wakes up. With her, you never know what to expect. From crazy childhood facts, unbelievable high school antics and absurd stories from the night before, your jaw will always remained dropped. Her tales provide most of the comedic relief in the suite and her wild shenanigans never cease to amaze you

The “Stable One”

She is not always on her best behavior but is definitely the neutralizer in this situation. You can always count on her to look out for you in a sketchy, dark frat basement and give you eyes of approval for a potential hook-up mid-grind. She will play Sherlock Holmes and piece together blurry bits from a blackout. Always count on her to hold your hair back!

The “Cheesy Bread” Fiend

She ALWAYS jumps at any opportunity to order ZAAA . Whether its 2 a.m. on the weekend and she’s got the drunchies or she’s just hungry for second dinner, she will hop on any grubhub order in the blink of an eye.

The “Bum”

She never actually wears pants. She may wear a bra to class, but we’re not too sure. It seems that this suitemate has lost all motivation to wear “real people clothes” or “do girly things”. Her wardrobe consists only of the biggest sweatshirts, the baggiest sweatpants and the coolest high socks you’ve ever seen in your life. When she does decide to put on normal clothes, people ask if she’s “okay” or if something is wrong. Some may consider her a bum but, she can rock it!

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.
