Every course group has these six characters, which one are you?
Where would we be without the cheerleader?
Whether you've been studying in Liverpool for a few weeks or a few years, you will have definitely picked up on the types of people you'll meet in your lectures in Central Teaching Hub or your seminars in Rendall.
Whilst everyone is different, of course, we found that there's usually six big personalities you'll see in your classes during your time studying here!
The organised one
This friend is constantly bombarded with group chat messages asking them to send over their lecture notes. They will act annoyed, but will definitely still send them ASAP. They are usually the mum of the group and will happily have you over in between lectures to 'go over assignments,' but you know you will just steal their food and distract them from doing their work.
The one who drops off the face of the planet regularly
Where are they all the time? This is the friend that you’ll see every day for a week, then they disappear for a whole month. They’re your best friend in lectures and in group chats but never seem to appear at socials or meticulously planned nights out. They genuinely make you feel like there’s a curse where all 6 of you cannot physically be in a room at once.
The sesh-head
They never reply to the group chat and don’t ever help you with lecture notes or assignments, but are always up for a group night out. This is the type of friend that only seems to appear when they want to invite everyone to the Raz to sink fat frogs despite the looming 9am on Tuesday. They can out-drink anyone and remember everything, so will happily tell you about all of the stupid things you did the last time you partied with them.
The one with their head in the clouds
This is the friend that makes you wonder how they managed to get dressed in the morning, let alone find their way to your 9 am in the maze that is the Mount Pleasant building. You feel bad for their housemates because they definitely don’t know how to tie a bin bag. They're constantly asking 'did we have to do any work for this?' on the day of the seminar. You know that they’re loveable and mean the best though, so you put up with their ditsy ways.
The emotional one
They will always be found crying on the floor of Skint. Let’s be honest, it’s usually to do with a boy that is definitely not good enough for her. Every time you speak to them it's like walking on a sheet of ice, and you’ve spent more times trying to fix their tear-streamed make-up with a beauty blender than you care to admit. It may be a bit annoying, but you know they would do the exact same for you, so you grit your teeth and hope they don't start tearing up in the queue to Heebies (again).
The cheerleader
Ah, the sweet friend. This is the friend that will pick you up when you think your make-up or outfit looks terrible and will take sexy pictures of you stood by a door screaming the words 'Yass' and 'slay girl.' They will definitely hype up your Instagram photos, even though they’re probably the one that chose it. They’re the absolute angel of the group and will always make sure you’re not sat alone in a lecture. Where would we be without them?
Which one are you? Whether you're the one that can neck a bottle of wine in 15 seconds, the girl who read the entire reading list over summer or the one who's not been seen in public since week 2, any course friendship group would be incomplete without you in it!
