An Extensive List of People at University

1. The Partier
These are the people that you will find hitting up the clubs/pubs/bars every other night of the week. These are also the type of people that you would never, ever leave young children with. Nine times out of ten these people are really only there to 'hit up' the coolest parties and fail their degrees after a year.

2. The Hipster
Yes, we all know them. These guys would much rather sit back and drink their craft beer, complain about the 'Top 40 hits' that are playing and leave early to go to something much more cool. (Beard optional).

3. The Lightweight
I have learnt that in every single friendship group there is one of these. These are the girls and the guys who can not hold their alcohol and by the second, sometimes third, shot of tequila they are passed out on a bar stool somewhere crying about their lives. Handy tip for these people, just swap their tequila for water. They will not know the difference.

4. The Mother
We all know that one guy or girl who acts like a mother hen. She/He is constantly watching out for the group, making sure that everyone is sensible and making sure that their friends are safe with their alcohol intake. (Usually they watch #3, the lightweight, like a hawk).

5. The Crier
These are the people who are not coping, at all, with university. They are homesick and upset and do not want to be a happy camper. But that's okay, just lend them a shoulder to cry on and maybe some makeup tips for their smeared mascara.

6. The Loner (or alternatively) The Lonely
These darlings are the ones you see in public places who have little, to no, friends and are walking behind the rest of the pack with their heads down. Either these people do not want to make friends or do not know how. But it never hurts to give them a friendly hello.

7. The Do-er
Guys, buckle up because these people are going to send you insane sometimes with how much they take about doing assignments, doing their readings etc. etc. These people will skip parties, and various other social events, because they have 'so much to do.' My one word of advice to these people: sometimes it can be work and play, find that balance.

8. The Pretentious Art Student
I am an arts student, majoring in English, and I hope I am not one of these people. However I did find one during my first lecture, this student was sitting in the row behind me and she bragged about how great she was at english and that she suited being a writer because she "looked the part." (What does that even mean?!)

Who knows, maybe my list helped some of you decide who you are (or want to be) in the University scene. See you on Sunday.
Chloe, xo.
