Since I’ve started attending a normal school again, I’m starting to notice the people who fit those stereotypical molds.
- Sweat suit girl -
Usually seen in a light colored sweat suit made by some totally hip and cool sports company, such as Adidas or Puma. No underwear can be worn with this sweat suit, which can cause the ass to jiggle like nobodies business. Some girls should not do this; underwear can be a good thing when used correctly. These are most seen at the Plano campus, because that’s where rich girls go, and we all know rich girls are too busy to put on underwear.
- Punk-Rawk Chick -
Personally, my favorite. I have a weakness for this type. Usually wears every bracelet that is available for sale at hot topic, dark eye makeup, and best accessorized with some type of facial piercing. A girl of this type sat by me tonight in my intro to business class. We talked a bit, and discovered that we both attended the Sparta-Dashboard Confessional-Weezer concert a few years back. These girls love their rawk shoes, who can blame them?
- That Guy -
There are many that guys. “That guy that talks a lot”, “that guy that gets drunk every night”, and “that guy who doesn’t own an iron” would be a few examples. My least favorite of all would be “That guy that sits way too close for comfort when there is 56 other available chairs in the room”.
- Abercrombie / Hollister -
I hate these stores. You shouldn’t pay 130 dollars for a pair of jeans that has holes and oil stains already on them. You can get the same pair at a resale shop for 4 dollars, Ass.
- Stoner Kid -
Could be considered one of the “That Guy” type, but really need their own category. Usually seen with bloodshot eyes and a confused look on their face. Has been seen around campus wandering around for 15 minutes looking for his classroom, in the same exact hallway. 15 MINUTES! It’s 10 in the morning, can you wait ’til later to smoke out?
- The Bitch -
This is a necessity for the class to go smoothly. What would school be without the bitch? Not entertaining I tell you that. The Bitch in my Physics class in high school actually bitched me out while facing the front of the room, let me remind you she was in the 2nd row, and I was at the very back of the room. Apparently she had not read the bitch handbook, stupid slut. Oh, the slut thing is optional, but usually accounts for additional entertainment, because she may come in to class one day crying about her boyfriends.
- Pajamas and Flip Flops -
Very similar to the sweat suit girl in appearance, but very differently on the inside, where the real beauty lies. Usually not as stuck up and much more friendly. Someone you could take home to mom, after she spent some time getting ready of course. You can’t wear those pajamas and flip flops for the rest of your life. Pretty soon you’ll have to grow up.
- Long Hair/Man Purse Guy -
I was walking to the sink in the bathroom after doing my ‘bidness’ at school and one of these walked into the bathroom, which made me freak out. Was I in the girls’ bathroom? Had my worst nightmare come to life? Luckily he was just very in touch with his metro side.
- Indie Rocker -
Girls jeans, Vans, some unknown band (who recorded a CD in their uncle’s basement) t-shirt, and messy hair with Red/Black/Blonde highlights.
- Fair Weather Fan -
Around here usually seen wearing a University of Texas hat/shirt/jersey etc. Anywhere else in the world they would be seen wearing something with Duke or North Carolina. I usually try to start up a conversation with them, something simple like “So you like Duke?”. Sometimes they have a basic knowledge of the team, others, are just ugly. One such person actually responded, “I don’t really like the team, I’m a fan of the coach (talking about Duke).” I really wanted to punch him in the face, not for the fact that I hate Duke, but the fact that he likes coach K. He didn’t even know any of the players’ names. I hated that guy.
Then there is me.
Harley Davidson t-shirt, preferably orange, jeans with some crazy-ass drawing on the leg, and nice comfortable Nike shoes. I like to keep it simple.

I would be the bitch who only had 2 outfits and brand new sneakers who desperatly wanted to be nice.

Wow, I kind of fit into a lot of those categories. I could be pajama girl except I don’t own any flip flops because they’re nasty and unhygenic. I also don’t own any Puma sweatsuits, although I very often choose not to wear underwear with my pajamas. I attended the Sparta-Dashboard Confessional-Weezer concert (SUCK IT, BITCHES) but I do not wear eyeliner and I wouldn’t be caught dead shopping at Hot Topic if your it was your grandma’s last dying wish. I guess I’ve also got some bitch in me. Just ask my siblings or the homeless people outside my apartment complex.

Put a label on me. I dare you to try, you silly bananahead!

I was that girl who came to class looking like a zombie, wearing workout clothes and a sports bra ALL. THE.TIME. I had lacrosse practice at 5 in the morning every day, because there was always too much snow on the ground to practice outside like normal people.

In my morning classes I am pajama girl.
In the rest of my classes I’m a combination of The Bitch and Indie Rocker (Chick), except I’m less bitchy and more sarcastic, because I’m not mean. But the style of the Indie Rocker is right on, plus a ton of bracelets, boots, and a couple of outrageous outfits for psych class, because my professor is a psychologist, so I figured I’d give him something to … ahem … analyze. The rest of the class seems to enjoy it; it’s caught on as a trend with a lot of the girls. We actually all came in as French maids last week and started cleaning the classroom. So I guess I should be in the category of ‘That Weird Girl.’

You are very funny, and quite a good writer. I hope you keep it up.
Speaking of “oh no she didn’t”. Husbando and I were driving around in Pittsburg one day when this couple passed us on a motorcycle. The lady was on back and her very large ass was pooked up in the air. It was bouncing about wildly at 70mph. She was wearing very thin and tight spandex pants. It was one of the most special things I’ve ever seen.

“underwear can be a good thing when used correctly.”
caused me to spit mint tea all over the monitor. LMAO
Such astute observations about college. If I weren’t so worried about the Algebra problems, I might look up, and around, more often.
Returning to school changes perspective.
BTW, aren’t you leaving your Teen years soon, very soon?

You seem to have forgotten “club girl”. She is the one who comes to class (even the early morning ones) wearing a midriff bearing or sheer shirt, belly ring and low slung pants with her underwear in full view. The low slung pants make her shimmy into her seat so as not to lose the pants and sit with her butt crack in full view. She is always fully made-up and hair is always dyed an unnatural hue.
And, also:
Smelly boy. This is a hybrid of stoner kid and uber-dork. He usually smells like a cross between body odor, hummus-breath, schwag weed and fried food. He likes to sit next to you when the classroom is overly crowded and takes up half of your personal space. He is often seen picking at zits and chewing nails. Surprisingly, he is usually at the top of the class. Unfortunately, he tries to relate everything to Magic: The Gathering. He probably doesn’t wear underwear, either.

I took an Anthropology class a few years ago with about a hundred other ‘college kids’. The professor made us stand up and say one interesting fact about ourselves the first day. I think I was the only one there that was married, let alone with kids. I stood up and said ‘I am a stay at home mom with seven kids, going back to school for fun.’ You should have seen THOSE stares. I got more attention than the sweat suit girl and punk rawk chicks put together.
I ran into that professor last month and he remembered me ~ asked about all my kids. LOL…

Hmm..I just turned 30..will someone please remind me when the cut-off year is for PJs and flip flops? So long as it isn’t anytime BEFORE 35??!
Seriously though, I would literally roll out of bed, slide into my slippers and trudge down the hall from the dorm into class my freshman year in college…good to know the tradition is still alive~

p.s. I come from the hometown of Harleys!

I hate Sweat Suit Girl and Abercrombie. I use them for target practice.

I used to be Punk-Rawk Chick who dated Indie Rockers. Now I’m The Bitch who is married to That Guy (who always tucks in his shirt) and sends Pajamas and Flip Flops girl home to change shoes when she shows up for the lab I teach. I miss Punk-Rawk Chick!

So I’m a little late on the verygeorge front… my best friend wants to come visit you in TX, and in order to make sure you’re not a serial killer, I told her I would have to catch up on things. So I am starting from the beginning… more comments to come I am sure.
My favorite is and always be 35-year old who asks too many questions. The one that sits in the front of every class and asks fifty thousand questions to make sure she understands the assignments because she is taking school VERY seriously to make up for whatever crack whore activities she engaged in during her twenties. Frequently reminds the instructor that he forgot to give us that pop quiz.
