The 6 Guys You’ll Meet During Freshers’ Week

Moving away from home can certainly be daunting, but one of the best pieces of advice we can give you here at HCX is to get out and fully enjoy yourself during Fresher’s Week. It’s filled with so much fun and is an incredible opportunity to meet lots of wonderful people, so as a heads-up, here are just a few of the boys you are likely to meet!

The Mr Darcy.

The dream guy. Your eyes locked across a crowded room and suddenly you can hear the title scenes of a rom-com start rolling. He’s gorgeous, he’s funny, you click and he’s single! It all seems too perfect, so here’s the catch; he’s not interested… Welcome to ‘The Friend-Zone” ladies, and unfortunately this becomes a little less ‘The Notebook’ and a little more ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’. Be prepared for a few Bridget Jones’ moments while you continue to fancy him anyway… You can still look, right?

The Housemate.

Hooray! Luck has put you in  halls with Ryan Gosling’s younger brother. Brilliant news, now you have something to make up for the mountains of washing up and empty beer cans he leaves lying around. But while you’re drooling into your cup of tea, just spare a moment as to whether it’s actually worth trying anything, or if its safer just keeping it in your daydreams. After all, you still have to live with him for the rest of the year…

The Friend That You Don’t Remember Making.

You have his number saved in your phone, and there are photos of the two of you together on Facebook. But, he’s not in your halls, in your society, or on your course… And you have no memory of meeting him in the first place. Chances are you’ll never know now! So just run with it, whenever you did infact meet, clearly you got along! Who knows, maybe in 3 years you’ll graduate together as BFFS and laugh about it when you’re 30.

The Hunter.

Maybe its late, you’ve had one too many vodka-cranberries and your friends have all paired off, this next guy may wander across your path disguised as Prince Charming. He knows what to do, and what to say to make you weak at the knees. His idea of the perfect Fresher’s week is to spend each night in a different bed, and lucky you, it looks like you’re next!

When you wake up the next morning, in an unfamiliar room, to the dulcet tones of his snores, ‘Prince Charming’ may rapidly become Mr ‘Oh God, What Have I Done?’. It may have been fun, but he’s a lot less attractive now the beer goggles have worn off, and now you’ve got to work out not only where you are, but how to get home. Cue ‘The Walk Of Shame’; the morning cross-campus dash, heels in hand, back to halls.

Mr Protein.

Everyone knows one; he spends 60% of his life in the gym. The other 40% is filled with goggling new ways to do squats, teaching you the correct protein shake intake, retelling his latest sporting victory and lecturing you on your (non existent) fitness regime. While you’re definitely allowed to appreciate his efforts, just remember that if he’s so focused on ‘bulking up’ he possibly won’t have time for you.

And then there’s the ones you didn’t meet, or rather, just haven’t met yet. Don’t get me wrong, the number of new people you’ll meet during Fresher’s week is phenomenal… Nobody would ask you to remember, let alone stay in touch with, each and every one of them. Some will inevitably become your friends for life. As for the others? Well. You have another 3 years to meet them again, and you never know who else you have yet to meet!
