College can sometimes seem a little bit like a fantasyland – from being able to live with your best friends, to semesters in foreign countries, to loads of free time, to parties on school nights, college is in no way a reflection of what I’d call “real life.” And among its otherworldly qualities, college is a haven for what seems to be an entirely different breed of human: the college boy. This creature, for lack of a better term, can possess any number of stereotypes – the jock, the frat-star, the nerd, the smart lazy-ass, the full-fledged lazy-ass, the stoner, the partier, the socially inept… the list goes on and on.
Not unexpectedly, these boys perpetuate their stereotypes via any variety of antics that might apply. But come graduation day, it’s almost like a switch is flipped, and with the toss of the tassel, their college personae get cast aside, too. All of a sudden, they’re graduates, onto bigger and more impressive things than pledging and partying. They might be the same person, but the air of post-grad confidence is undoubtedly something that collegiettes™ seek over college-boy stench.
What is it that makes a young working guy in a suit so sexy? Why are college guys so immature? And what is it about “real guys” that makes us roll our eyes when college boys can’t behave like normal human beings? While we don’t all prefer the older/hotter/wiser type, there are certainly differences between college boys and real men that keep us hanging around the grad school libraries.
