CC archetypes

<p>Seems like A LOT of the threads posted here are variations on the same few kinds of threads...and at the moment I happen to be curious of about how many.</p>

<p>I'll get the ball rolling</p>

<p>-"Do (adjective) guys/girls find (adjective [esp. race], verb, or noun) attractive?"
-"I'm a college (year) and have few/bad/no friends, what do I do?"
-"Does _____ look bad to peers/professors/(post-undergrad entity)?"
-"Which college has the best/worst ___<strong><em>?"
-"How do I get good grades?"
-"I flunked/nearly failed/didn't show up to _</em></strong>_ How can I still pass?"
-"Is ________ difficult/easy?"</p>

<p>And my favorite:</p>

<p>-"Why do (group) always seem to (behavior)??"</p>

<p>^^^ You know what i'm talking about</p>

2

<p>Yeah, there should be a sticky or FAQ of some sort. Even if it’s just comical.</p>

3

<p>My favorite: “I’m unintelligent and have no friends, but it’s because I’m so unintelligent that I’m super-intelligent and everyone is jealous, including my professor. And God.”</p>

4

<p>I’m fat/thin/gay/mental/stupid/religious/weird… Admire me / Tell me it’s okay. </p>

<p>My parents/roommate/friends are weird/nutters/strict/disappointing/f’cking the dog. What should I do?</p>

<p>and the ever-annoying:
What do you wish you would have known as a freshman?</p>

<p>(can somebody please find a link to the Furby thread? And to the one where someone wanted to live inside of a kind of a box?)</p>

5

<p>help me i’m a white male with slightly above average grades/scores it’s so unfair that i can’t get into harvard</p>

6

<p>Not an archetype, but still funny (points for randomness):</p>

<p>what are college gay republican students like?</p>

7

<p>“Will (insignificant flaw) ruin my entire college career and my life as I know it?”</p>

8

<p>(belligerent response)</p>

9

<p>I’m smarter and better than anyone I’ve ever known. Why don’t people want to party with me?</p>

10

<p>The College Life sub-forum once actually had decent threads, believe it or not. Now I find myself rarely visiting College Life as it has mostly stupid **** like the stuff you’ve mentioned.</p>

11

<p>Outside of total “newbs”, it’s the same handful of people who are collectively ruining this section of the board with stupid, irrelevant threads. I like some of the discussion, but a lot of it has absolutely nothing to do with college life.</p>

12

<p>PMVD threads</p>

<p>All other threads</p>

13

<p>Oh… and
“I’m smart, because I have a 99999 SAT. Would it be a good idea to take 8 classes, two of which are at the same time?”</p>

14

<p>Add the:</p>

<p>-“thread that disguises itself as a question but turns out to be a rant/bragging”</p>

15

<p>The CC archetype? Gay.</p>

16

<p>Nah. “I’m insecure. Just like everybody else.”</p>
