Types of students 

As a college student, i find so many different types of people — i'd like to call them students, by the way — in college. Started from a lazy-late student to a nerd who is so busy with their book collection. They all exist at the same place and at the same time. No wonder college is one hell of a place where we socialize the most, as it is a place we have to adapt to certain people and be friends with them. No offence, but that's how i describe it in a sarcastic — still a nice compliment, absolutely — way.

I'm one lazy student sometimes. Studying all day long makes me feel so lazy to do a lot of things. But that doesn't change the fact that i'm still a good and clever student — which is kind of an argument to put it in the first place. Still, i'm not one of those students who is, by their desires, coming late to college, skipping class, leaving "homeworks" and being a "trouble-maker." Well … i'm not talking about how bad they are as a college student, as i don't consider myself one true dilligent student who is eager to take risks by studying hard and put my all into every subject that i'm learning. They're still a good human being (still an argument, though). They're just one type of college students i'm talking about.

I see so many nerds, too, in college. (Being a nerd is not always a bad thing, if that's what you're trying to refer.) Some of them are very social students; albeit they're kind of picky to be friends with, and some of them are quite introverts — i like to describe them as "asocial," as they're difficult to be friends with. They're one hell of a good example for a student like me, who is too lazy sometimes. Reading a book is one activity they refuse to avoid. Talking to them is like talking to a book, since they're usually very smart and open-minded at once.

I'm between those nerds and lazy-late students, though. And i find most students in college are no different. We may be dilligent at times, but we're lazy most of the time. Some of us are moved by all the tasks we have to do, while some of us are only moved when we have to pass the test. Sure, being a college student makes no different with being a high school student. We're still the same students with the same personality, just different passion and purposes — and ages, of course.

While it is very easy to generalize the types of students i find, doesn't mean i'm one thoughtful person who is able to stereotype them a certain way. Describing every student with their personality is one difficult thing to do, since i don't have much time to research every one of them by putting their personalities in a book. Still, they exist. Whether they're lazy-late, nerds, or maybe in between, they still exist. And that's what makes a college really cool — i mean, being a college student. Because we can find certain people with different personalities. We may be joined in a great and attractive conversation, or knowing them personally as a person and a student. We can find them.
