5 Types of Preps

1. The Fetus - Stands at about 2 feet tall and weighs a whopping 70 pounds! Looks exactly like that really stubborn kid who always hogged the swing during recess in 3rd grade. (Also keep an eye out for the vineyard-vines-wearing, forever-repeat sports recruit on the other end of the spectrum)

I mean, if that doesn’t sound like a prep, I don’t know what does.

2. Prep Posse™ - You never knew a group of kids 2 years younger than the first Shrek movie could be so intimidating until you cut across the quad to avoid them on the paths one day. But it’s okay because they won’t stay friends for long.

3. The Overachiever - Most likely is one of the extremely ~qualified~ prep rep candidates (they were the student body president at their old school so they definitely know what they’re doing, don’t worry). Also constantly asks everyone the question, “what math are you in?” Secretly wishes they were in prep posse. Managed to sneak into the college fair.

4. The Dazed and Confused - Always looks like they just woke up from a two year long nap and they’ve forgotten how the world operates. Gets dizzy from walking around campus in circles, trying to find to Academy Building. Mistakes upperclassmen for preps. Introduces themselves as “a new prep.” Doesn’t understand what “pass-fail” means. Says “The Grill.” Wears their lanyard to sleep. Has not yet successfully opened their PO box.

5. Your Roommate who’s a New Lower - Sat completely still in a chair for four hours while you unpacked your stuff on move in day. Once referred to Agora as “the circle place.” I mean, if that doesn’t sound like a prep, I don’t know what does.
