5 type of Friends you will make in College

College life is one of the best phases of every single person’s life. It’s the time when you leave the sheltered atmosphere of your schools and come across a variety of different people. Some of these people end up becoming your friends for life while the rest of them turn out to be memories you will recall many years later. Here are the kinds of friends you are going to make through your college life:

The partner

This is the one person you actually go to college for. If they are bunking college for some reason, you are going to be sitting alone for all the lectures and getting bored out of your mind. This is one of the few people that you are actually going to stay in touch with after college ends. Some might even say they are your ‘college best friend.’

The travel partner

Most of us travel great distances to actually get to our colleges. In the process, we identify some people from our class who travel the same distance that we do and we share our train/cab/auto journeys with these people. We might not ever speak to them normally in class but while travelling it’s like you’ll are best buds.

The canteen and bathroom buddy

This is the one person who will go down a simple journey with you in college. They will accompany you to the bathroom after the lecture is over and then the two of you will head over to the canteen to chill. It is possible that your bathroom and canteen buddy might not be the same person, but if you’re very lucky they will be.

The ‘Lets Chill’ buddy

This person is always down to watch a movie after college is done or even willing to bunk college to do the same. On the weekends, they will be the person who will be ringing up everyone’s phones with an invitation to go and party somewhere. If ever the college festival season is upon you, you know that you can count on this friend to accompany you to the various festivals.

The project and exam buddy

This is the most important friend that you will make in your college life as they are going to ensure that you pass your exams as well as your internals. Whenever a presentation or exam is due, they will automatically become the number one contact on your list and you both will be in constant touch with each other. You both will also completely loose contact till the next set of exams, only for the whole cycle to start once again.
