8 Types Of People You Meet During Group Projects
Marcella Purnama

If you are anything like me, you hate group projects. I would drop a class as soon as I found out there was a group project if I could. Between marching band, a job, classes, and the little social life I have left, I don't want to be meeting up for group projects.

Group projects aren't always terrible, but they are if you are grouped with one of these eight people.


1. The person who thinks they are the leader.

This person immediately takes charge, but then realizes they have no leadership skills. They get upset when people don’t contribute ideas, but have nothing to add themselves.

2. The best friend.

This person has a friend in another group and insists on working with their friend rather than the group they were actually assigned too. If the friends are in the same group, they disappear for the entire group project making their own group within the group.

3. The procrastinator.

The person who waits until 1 a.m. the night before the project is due to actually contribute in any way.

4. The clueless one.

This person has no idea what is going on. This person shows up late and accidentally forgets about group meetings.

5. The promiser, but disappointer.

This person claims to have amazing skills with PowerPoints and graphics. In exchange for these skills, this person has someone else do their section of writing, which is totally fine and encouraged! Turns out this person has no artistic abilities.

6. Credit stealer.

This is the person who goes along with everything the group says, has no creative ideas of their own, but answers all of the questions the teacher asks, making it look they were the mastermind behind the project.

7. The funny guy.

This person constantly interrupts the discussion to blurt out an idea that would make the project more funny. This person doesn't really take the project seriously.

8. Control freak.

This person gets everyone's number, adds them to a group message, and continues to text the group consistently. This person usually brings extra supplies, arrives early, and often tries to delegate the work while constantly checking up with the progress of the project.


Because of these eight types of people, this is what you look like at the end of the project.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
