10 people you’ll meet at university

You meet a lot of people from different walks of life at university (or college) and although everyone is different in their own little ways, some people just fit so nicely into stereotypes. Admit it, you’ve met at least one of these people since you got into school.

1. The Overachiever

   This person can be found at the library or at the lecturers office questioning the 98% they got on an assignment that every other person failed. They look down on you for attending that party last week and shake their heads at you for sleeping in.

   

2. The Under-achiever

   Total opposites of the over-achievers. Any work is too much work for them. Don’t go looking for them at 7am lectures because they can’t possibly be there.If you sit beside them in class, be strong and don’t let them lure you into falling asleep in class. You secretly envy their i-don’t-care attitude towards school.

3. The Gym-Junkies

You can’t find these ones anywhere else. Look out your window before 7 and they’re out there jogging. No matter what day you find yourself at the gym, they’ll be there. They make exercise look easy. Befriend one of these people in hopes of improving your fitness habits.

4. The Vampires

The sun hurts them, literally. Usually computer science/tech, art or architecture students. You can’t see them because they’re always holed up in their rooms, finishing projects and creating models for presentations in classes they don’t attend. They’re usually pretty smart and excellent for behind-the-scene jobs. Nobody knows who they are but know of their work.

5. The ones living on Old-glory

They include their secondary school in nearly every conversation and are constantly talking about how they topped their class up until graduation. After a conversation with them, you feel like you went to secondary school together.

6.The Professional Photographers

Very popular among the ladies and then everyone else. Sometimes, the higher they are ranked in school, the more their ego will grow. They have the too-cool-for-school look nailed perfectly. You secretly want to befriend them so you’ll have snazzy pictures of yourself.

7. The ones who are always put together

They get good grades, attend major parties, hold down a side job and their sanity. You envy them for being able to do everything flawlessly.

8. The Innocent ones

Probably never left home before, thinks swearing is pure evil and partying are going to land you in prison. (Plot twist: it’s all just a facade).

9. The party-crazy ones

Out every weekend, sometimes on weekdays. They will go out and party even if midterms are tomorrow. Aren’t afraid to start their weekend on Thursdays.

10. The Slay-Queens/Kings

They have the makeup and fashion down, usually found taking pictures of their OOTD, have a lot of followers on Instagram, their snap chat stories are always on point.

11. The squad/ Bestfriend

Your squad might not be complete in your first or second year, but, once you find this person or people, everything will fall into place. Sleepovers will be held and you’ll finally have a shoulder/shoulders to lean on. You’ll have someone or people to walk into parties, sleep in with, solve problems and face the world as a squad.

Have a nice day.

3. Summer: It’s almost over

     I think we can officially say its back to school season, you know, the weird beginning of August when it hits that summer is slowly but surely winding down to an end.

    I don’t know about you guys but the sun is starting to get really annoying, has it always been this hot? My face is breaking out left, right and center. Going out doesn’t seem so fun anymore and I’m losing track of series to binge-watch. Oh, also, the gravity of results are also beginning to fall on me and a load of other people I’m sure *shudder*. It is starting to really hit me that school resumes later this month.

Yay.

I’m not excited, can you tell? *rolls eyes then cries*

    I’ve been home for about 4 months now and it got really boring really fast. When I was at school, i had no curfew, no bedtime, nobody to approve or disapprove of where i was going to or ask me “who are you talking to at 2am in the damn morning” (except my roommates, who aren’t, you know, my mum) and most of all, nobody to question my eating habits because it’s just what we university students do, eat poorly.

    However, I also didn’t have my mum’s food, free money, and my own comfortable bed to sleep on…

    You, yes you in the black shirt, it’s time to complete your purchases on amazon or start making them, what have you been doing all this time? Listening to Harry Styles? (i honestly need to stop procrastinating and having internal monologues) because resumption will creep up on you.

    To the people who got into university this year, congratulations. To the people who didn’t get in, congratulations. In fact, congratulations to you for finishing secondary school. Everyone deserves congratulations. Congratulations everyone, no really.

I’m rambling.

On a serious note though, summer is coming to an end, try out that new hairstyle you’ve been dreaming about, go to the beach before rain starts pouring, go on that road-trip, take time to yourself because it’s about to get really hectic.

Have a nice day, or night.
