All Ten Friends You’ll Have at Exeter

1. The friend in your dorm that pretends to laugh at your jokes and encourages you that your humor article is hilarious even though it’s really not (this one’s for you).

2. The Harkness warrior you hang out with when you’re looking to get distracted from your problems because they never stop talking about themselves.

3. The friend who makes you feel bad about your GPA (cue handing them tissues as they cry about how their 10.9 dropped to a 10.8 after AP bio/calculus/whatever it is that they take).

4. The friend who makes you feel good about your GPA and is a safe person to confide in about your struggles (50th-percentile unite)!

5. The politically-charged kid you always greet on the paths in hopes that 30 years from now you get invited to the White House Easter Egg hunt.

6. The musical genius who you manage to see every. single. time. you’re in the music building.

7. The genius saint who never denies your request for math help and doesn’t ridicule you for not understanding basic algebra.

8. The Exonian-writer friend who sometimes comes up to you acting extra friendly and then says “Can I ask you a few questions for my article?”

9. The cool proctor who tells you the tea.

10. Your best friends who are fun, but also can get serious in times you need them, and you know that they’ll be your friends for life.
