Do they sound familiar?

College is one of the most exciting times in your life. It’s the first time you’ll get to live away from home and be able to completely do your own thing (including your own laundry).

During your time in college you will undoubtedly meet a lot of people, some good, some bad, and some… shall we say interesting characters.

Here are the 6 people that you’ve definitely sat beside during your time at college.

The perpetually tardy 

This student, without fail, has been late to every single class since the start of the semester. You’re not quite sure whether they have the wrong timetable or they really are just that laid back. Either way, at least they are consistent.

The over- enthusiastic mature student

We know, we know, it’s a bit of a cliché to presume that the older students in the class are going to be the keenest but they usually are. You could honestly make money placing bets on how quickly they can put up their hand to answer a question. It’s just a fact of life.

The genius chancer

There’s always that one guy or girl who hands in their assignments at exactly one minute to the due date every single time but always manages to get a fantastic result regardless. You’ll find them panic typing in the library at 1 am in the morning on the day before hand-in. There must be something that they aren’t telling us.

The hangover head

Listen, it happens especially when you’re at college. That doesn’t stop the hardcore posse going out the night before a 9 am lecture though. Hangover heads are easily spotted with their Lucozade Sports and chicken fillet rolls.  At least they managed to make it in.

The group work queen 

We all know the one. As soon as someone so much as utters the words group assignment they start delegating tasks, scheduling meeting times and figuring out the colour scheme for their 52 slide presentation. In fairness without them, we would never get anything done.

The sleeping beauty

Closely related to the hangover head the sleeping beauty is fond of dosing off during class and will usually turn up to any 9 am lecture in clothes that are as similar to pyjamas as socially acceptable. Class sleepers we salute you!
