Every type of person you’ll meet at MSU

Michigan State is an enormous university. You essentially meet someone new everyday. But out of all of those people, there are certainly some that stand out.

The Libber

This person spends so much time in the Library, you’d think they actually enjoyed studying. They are often hard to actually hangout with since they basically live in the lib. Whenever you hit them up, they leave you feeling guilty that you don’t spend more time there.

The Classroom Friend

This is the person that you sit next to in a class. You guys talk nearly every day and text about homework and exams, but you’ve never hung out outside of class. It’s hard to judge when it is acceptable to transition a classroom friend to a real life friend, so often you leave them in the class so as to avoid looking like you’re ~moving too fast.~

The One with Their Life Together

This is the textbook version of a college student. They are on the Dean’s List, have a research position in their department, work a paid internship with a clear job lined up after graduation, but still have time to go out on the weekends. It is almost painful to speak to these people, and they always leave you wondering how they haven’t had a 2007 Britney meltdown yet.

The Partier

This is the person that knows all of the bar deals and which days its best to go to each. They use this knowledge often and you tend to marvel at their ability to go out more nights in one week than you go out in a month.

The Dartier

A step up from The Partier, The Dartier is wayyy more committed to having a good time. Why wait until the evening to start the fun? This is the person that you will find drunk every afternoon once the weather hits 60 degrees. This is also the person that you are extremely jealous of as you watch their snapchat story on your walk to class.

The Devoted BF/GF

Despite how close you may feel to this person, their best friend will always be their significant other. Somehow they manage to balance their school work and hanging out with their bf/gf nearly every day. While you might complain that they spend too much time with that person, you’re really just jealous that you’re forever alone.

The Teacher’s Pet

Everyone hates this person. Somehow they didn’t get knocked off by natural selection in middle school, and still are around to remind the professor to pass out the pop quiz or to collect the homework. When they aren’t doing that, they’re bound to be monopolizing class discussion or acting smarter than everyone around them.

The Sports Fanatic

This person is more than willing to get in line at 5am for the UofM game, but refuses to schedule an 8am class. They know way too much about MSU’s collegiate athletes and tend to flaunt this knowledge. The majority of their tweets and instas somehow relate to football or basketball. While their constant sports facts can get old, they’re the perfect person to answer all of those questions that you should probably know the answer to by now (Who’s Bryn Forbes??).

The Frat Boy

You’ll be able to spot The Frat Boy from a mile away by their entirely pastel and name brand wardrobe. While they may have their downfalls and negative stereotypes, Frat Boys are admittedly very fun to party with, and it’s always exciting to get invited to a formal or a hayride.

The Sorority Girl

The female version of The Frat Boy, The Sorority Girl is identifiable by the entirety of her possessions being monogrammed, either with her initials, or her sorority’s. She is probably a very good friend to have, but don’t forget, no matter how close you guys are, her Big will always be her favorite person in the whole wide world!!

The Hookup

This is the person that you keep in touch with solely because they have something to offer you, be it alcohol, the party deets, or the homework answers. Your bio professor may call it parasitism, but you call it friendship.

The Hookup;)

Almost exactly the same as The Hookup, but the service they are offering may have inspired the song Hotline Bling.

The Student Athlete

Identifiable by their green Nike backpack, The Student Athlete could play any sport from football to field hockey and will still turn a few heads as they walk by. They likely miss a decent amount of classes to play in their games, but worry not, they undoubtedly have a jersey chaser that is more than willing to take notes for them.

The Rough Life

This is the person that does nothing but complain about a seemingly decent life. Woes that plague literally every college student, except The One with Their Life Together, are made to be enormous issues by The Rough Life. While they may be fun to hangout with at times, you’ll first have to wade through a decent amount of empty complaints.

The Class Skipper

This person literally only goes to class when there are attendance points. It always kind of shocks you that people actually do this, but you admire The Class Skipper’s lack of caring and lowkey wish you didn’t feel obligated to actually attend the classes you are paying thousands of dollars for.

The Student

This is the typical MSU student that can be seen powering through whatever challenges may be thrown at them, without complaining tooooo much, and still finding plenty of time to have a good time.
