Whether they be in a beer-drenched sardine can of a house, a room in Suites just begging to be written up, or a parking lot littered with empty cans of Natural Light, parties are the pinnacle of social culture at PC. Friday and Saturday nights promise opportunities to hang out with friends, have fun, and meet new people- and for most girls, this means the possibility of meeting new guys. So here is a list of the different types of boys you are sure to find at a PC party.
The guy that Snapchats the entire experience.
This is the guy who seems to show up, not for the party, but because the scene provides a good backdrop for his social media accounts. From start to finish he documents the night, making sure that everyone who follows him can see that this is what the phrase “Saturday’s are for the boys” looks like. He can typically be found craning his arm around at the center of the party where he can capture the largest concentration of people in his posts. This is a strategic move that is used so that as he snapchats the night away, it will be evident to all of his viewers that he was at a lit party. He then tends to follow this up by initiating a mass sip-chat where he downs a beer with his friends while they all insist on “sending it” (?)
The really hot guy from your class
At least once over the course of a typical weekend you will stumble into a party where you’ll see people you have class with. Sometimes the stars align and, by a stroke of luck, one of those guys at the party will happen to be the hottie you sit near in Spanish. Ever since you got his name from the class roster on Sakai, stalked his Facebook profile, and confirmed in person that he is very attractive, you can’t believe you’re actually seeing him out. Once he notices you, he may strike up a conversation that’s all about class (but he’s clearly playing it cool because he obviously wants you. I mean why would he ask you how you did on the last test if that didn’t really mean that he wants you to be your girlfriend??). After talking for about five minutes, he leaves the party with his friends, and your heart, because you’re now convinced that he’s the one. For the rest of the night you contemplate how to take things from the peer-zone™ to the end zone.
The guy who has been staring into your soul for the entire duration of the party
So you’re enjoying the night with you’re friends but you keep making uncomfortable eye contact with this boy who seems to just keep staring at you. Whether he’s up on a table with his friends, lurking in the corner by the beer pong table, or sitting on a couch, he has his eyes on you. This boy’s natural inclination is to stand on the sidelines and watch you until he works up the courage or sees an opportunity for him to approach. If you don’t want to talk to him avoid looking in his general direction, period. If you happen meet his stare for even a second he will make his way through the crowd so that he can talk to you, get your name, follow you on social media, and then hit you up later in the night asking you “wyd”.
The F**kboy
Ahhh everyone’s favorite type of guy and one of the most common breeds of men to be found on a college campus (trust me, there is no shortage of these boys at PC). This boy walks in the room and knows everyone. Seriously. He’s tall, annoyingly attractive, has great arms, and is really charming. And, wait a second, of all the girls at the party he wants to talk to YOU?! <swoon> He seems to be really into you until *record scratch* he tells you very bluntly that he wants to head back to his room anddd ~fill in the blank with any number of crude terms that can be found in the f**kboy handbook~. While he tries to convince you a few more times to go with him, when you decline, he disappears faster than your Friar Bucks. However, while he may not have gotten what he wanted this time, be aware that f**kboys are a resilient and determined bunch! He may continue to try and court you with a “where u at tonight?” or an equally as romantic “u up?” via instagram or Snapchat DM. {The best way to deal with it is to take a page from Beyonce, put those middle fingers up, and tell that boy BYE}
The guy who drinks too much and then thinks he can dance
This guy is a double threat- he can drink a lot and he can “dance”. He typically begins on an elevated surface with one arm around his boys while the other is cradling a bottle of some type of hard alcohol that has a threefold purpose: 1.) it is used as a prop in his routines 2.) the liquid courage allows him to dance terribly but still feel like he’s killin it 3.) it is a source of hydration that will keep the dance moves coming far into the night. The only thing this boy loves more than destroying his liver, is dancing harder than you might have thought physically possible to do in an apartment so crowded that just by taking a step toward the door you unintentionally grind up on minimum three people.
The Friar Fanatic
This guy bleeds black and white and wants everybody to know it. He’s the one whose voice you hear screeching over the music as he starts chanting “Let’s Go Friars!”: effectively inciting a room full of PC students to assert their pride by belting out the mantra along with him. His main objective is to get any party as FRIARED UP and rowdy as it possibly can get (before security inevitably comes and shuts it down- booo) and because everybody loves PC, he’s usually pretty successful.
*what team? FRIARS*
