What Guys In College Are Really Like As Told In GIFs

There’s no denying that many of our pre-collegiette days were spent daydreaming about what college would be like…

You couldn’t wait to meet your roomie,

explore campus,

but most importantly—you couldn’t wait to meet the college guys you had heard so much about.

You definitely kept an open mind at first when it came to what we were looking for,

and were beyond excited when you snagged your first invite to a real frat party.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before your idea of fraternities quickly switched from this…

to this.

But you put the charm on anyway,

and managed to snag an invite to a date function with one of the brothers.

The day of the event, you couldn’t wait to meet up with your dream date.

But of course, it wasn’t long before you realized he was already hammered

…and had absolutely no social skills.

So, you ended up sticking with your girls for the rest of the night,

and decided frat houses just weren’t your thing.

Next, you decided to go for student athletes—good-looking and talented.

You chatted up your school’s super handsome linebacker, who was all about his stats and scores…

… but not much else.

So you thought maybe a baseball player would be a little better at holding a conversation…  

…but found that he was also really, uh, into himself.

Next stop: campus musicians. Who doesn’t love a guy who can play guitar?  

But of course, every guy you met in a band turned out to be a total John Mayer wannabe,

and the musical theater majors were a little too in touch with their feminine sides.

Where was your frat guy when you really needed him? 

At this point, you were ready for a more established guy, so you went for the gorgeous TA from your history lecture,

only find out he was a super senior who couldn’t seem to make it past undergrad.  

So long story short, college guys aren’t exactly who you thought they were going to be,

but at least they help make for some great stories to tell your girlfriends!

Anyone know where the grad students hang out??
