College Life

When you’re in High School, class work is never the biggest problem. The biggest problem has always been image. You feel obligated to know what everyone thinks of you and how can you change their perspective. You would buy nice clothing, keep up with what’s going on "ON The Streets" and try to befriend everyone you come in contact with even if its just mutual friend. Your image is all you have. Peer pressure kills every one's rep. but no one can become a leader without following. Following to fit in to life because they don't understand where they fit. There are two types of followers, 1) The ones that follow to fit 2) the ones that follow to be cool. You might be thinking to yourself well is it not the same thing. The ones that follow to fit in literally follow another person acts IE if someone is going somewhere this person would find it necessary to tag along, if someone decides to do homework then the follower feels obligated to make it a study session. The ones that follow to be cool would inmate what they see someone else doing but not at the same saving it and using it for another day.
The set of people above those are the gossipers and complainers. The gossipers get their stats from spreading people business out. This one is risky because the gossipers not only tell you people business but also spreads your business around, but it’s only fair for your business to go around if you are willing to sit down listen to other people problems. Then you have complainers the complainers just about anything. Knowing their actions are just as bad or even worse then what they are complaining about, these two usually stick together because they feed off of each other negative energy.
Above those you have the people like me the connector/ communicator I am the one who basically allow these different levels of people to become friends, talking to everyone and becoming friends with them. The people like me never like to see a lonely person so they introduce everyone so they can be a group of friends. My stats is get the most heat because I made everyone friends so I have to hear them all complain to me about the other stats or group always leaving me in a awkward situations.
Above me are the freaks,. The freaks usually set their selves in bad situations because they cannot control their hormones. They get called stuff like easy, sluts or even get frowned upon but school officials. They tend to build relationships where ever they go, they would close the old relationship status but never cancel the acts or feelings.
Above those are the advisers the ones that help each rep. get through their tough times. They are usually nice and full of knowledge. The advisers are also put into tough situations because they try not to pick a side.
Above them are the party animals the ones that everyone knows for strictly getting drugs, alcohol or just to find out where the next party is at.
The ones that reach the top of the list are the beautifuls', the ones that are put up like trophy wives. When they ask you to do something you do it with regret or pausing.
Now when I came to college I was looking for some of these groups to disappear seeing how we are mature people now but I guess college is just another place for you to express all these groups on a higher level for the simple fact that you see these groups around you 24/7 while you was in high school these groups only lasted from 7 to 3pm.
24/7 and living every minute of it

I found your views about the various types of people in college to be interesting and somewhat insightful. However, I was expecting you to write about a few more types of people. Since you have yet to complete one full semester of college, I'm sure you'll encounter more types of people in years to come; good and not so good.

This was really interesting. I like the fact that you placed everyone into a specific category and explained the characteristics of the people in that category.
I agree with you. I DO believe that this is what College is like right now. Its basically a continuation of high school and you were right when you said that it is just a way for these categories of people to express themselves on a different level.
I would think that this would not be the same as it was in high school because coming to college is suppose to be a step of letting go of immature high school habits. People should be more independent and individualistic but yet they worry about being followers and not leaders. This is why they are categorized as they are now.
