The Different Kinds of Students

This post is a culmination of my all the observations I've had while studying in the university. I've sent this to our University Confessions page in Facebook and was surprisingly popular for a short time. I'm obviously blowing my anonymity here, but hey, I've graduated! HAHAHA

You'd be surprised how lots of people inside the campus are actually walking stereotypes, and it's fun to identify those kinds of people that you met once in a while in your student life. 
Or maybe you are one of them at some point?



The Campus Crushes
We shall start with the beautiful faces each and every school is bound to have. Remember that pretty girl with the smooth fair skin, long straight hair and lip-glossed lips? How about the sexy gentleman with his chinito eyes and chiseled jaw? Now they are the stuff that creates dreams and unrequited love stories (since most of them are taken anyway) They are popular in a sense that anyone who is capable of admiring beauty immediately knows their faces. Ironically though, despite their potential, most of them are usually shy and reserved, making the "out of my reach" cliche a reality.

The Omniscients
Imagine yourself walking across the campus, you saw a poster calling for votes for a certain council position, one of the candidates was John Smith. You walked some more, and saw a list of volunteers for a relief operation, John's in it too. By the time you got to your class, not only did you memorized John Smith's schedule for the whole school year but had his name stamped into your brain for good. The Omniscients are so-called since they are the people who are most active in their extra co-curricular activities, organizations, p and the most visible students in the campus.
They are fucking everywhere.

The Geniuses
The main source of envy.
You know, that happy-go-lucky lazy guy who never reads a damn book and usually stumbles late in class, spending the rest of the hour doing anything but listen. Then by the time the grades roll in they were ones who actually get the perfect grades. These Geniuses are pretty amazing since we could only imagine how better (assuming something could still surpass) their academic performances might have been IF they only cared to study more or be more serious. Nonetheless these guys continue to be carefree and happy. I also noticed these guys to be hardocre gamers as well.

The Farfetched
These are the guys who are very passionate about studies. They work real hard for their grades, sticking to the rules and tends to be stubborn. Not surprisingly they usually get high scores but is prone to act like they just witnessed the second coming of Christ every fucking time.
Also they do hyperventilate when they get a God-forsaken grade of B once in a while. However despite these quirks, you knew that your group can never be wrong in anything if you have the Farfetched as a member. They are walking reminder apps too since they are constantly reminding people of upcoming homeworks, quizzes and other requirements even if you're not asking for it.

The Noisy
No amount of annoyed looks and verbal threats could make these types of students shut up. Permanently banned from the library as well but works as MCs in events or facilitators in orgs. It's as if when God created men, he accidentally spilled UNNECESSARY LOUD VOICE  this group

The Quiet
They're usually cool bunch of guys but hearing them talk is still an event worth noting. Teachers calling on them for recitals is bound to be a show as well. But apart from the silence, they seemed to be surprisingly alright and even have a few close friends to boot. Where they lack for voice, they made up for being good listeners and will never snitch on anyone.

The Absent

The school registry says they're enrolled, but nobody has ever seen them get in class, not even a tiny speck of dried skin or a strand of hair, not even a goddamn shadow. They are complete strangers that at one point in life you start to imagine, if he/she had gone to school, would you have been friends? Ahh deep thoughts brought on by mystery. They stayed absent though and will remain so for a long time.

The Clowns
Teachers love them, easily forgiven and hilarious to boot. Each class will always have their clown. They have been trained as early as elementary school, honed their skills in awkward high school and are now fearless stand up comedians in college.

The Intimidating

Intentional or not, the Intimidating crowd are those who look tough, arrogant and superior. And they have absolutely no idea how they look to others. Frequently they are wrongfully judged all because one walks like he owns the entire floor, and this other girl has a bitchy look for a neutral expression. It's not remarkable how others are awed when they finally got to know the Intimidating really well: I was wrong about you.

The Athletes
They became the default varsity players the moment they became freshmen. Didn't help that most of them look good as well. They have very tight schedule and don't usually hang out with friends after school since they have a practice going on. Busy or not, they also managed to get good grades which reminds us that there is no God.

The Computer Guys

Whenever a classmate's laptop broke or a teacher wanted to have HD copies of new movies, a Coputer Guy from one of the classrooms is bound to called upon for help. It doesn't even matter what course they are taking since technology is firmly lodged into their lives.

The Ignorant
Unlike the Absent crowd, the Ignorants are so unique that even if you're not friends with them, you instantly know who they are.They are eternally surprised every time there's a quiz, recitation or even the final exams. They're always asking for extra paper, pencils, pens, tissues and hand sanitizers nor are they even aware of the current lesson, chapter, answers, name of instructor and the date today. The best surprise you get out of them is their capability to (barely) pass all the subjects and goes on to the next semester like nothing happened.

*The following types of students are generally classified and are not personal attacks or something of that sort.
