Man. This hits close to home for me. The characters on my own campus that come to mind are “Hipster Couple Who Always Go Everywhere with Each Other and Chainsmoke Like Crazy”, “I Never Smile at Anything and I Probably Cry in My Dorm at Repeated Watchings of ‘Milo & Otis'” Girl, “I Bob My Head in Recognition at Literally EVERYTHING My Professor Says in Class” Dude, and “I Just Joined a Frat Because of All the Cool Swag I Get to Wear All the Time” Guy.
I’m probably “Scowls into a Thermos of Coffee with a Kurt Vile Album Blasting While Mentally Constructing Bad Poetry” Girl to everyone else.
Being that I’m one of maybe 4 or 5 girls in the Computer Science department, this doesn’t really work for me. Most of the people I see daily are gamer guys who all look roughly similar, and girls whose names I know because there’s so few of them. There are a few mental nicknames, though.
There’s “that guy who always interrupts lecture to point out something he clearly thinks is hilarious to the professor”, and “that creepy guy who wears shorts year-round, but he’s probably perfectly nice”, but even those make me feel like a judgmental bitch…
I’m with sarah, I’m in the computer engineering department and it’s just kind hard to do that with guys since they all fall into the same categories. “guy who looks at the seat next to me for a minute and then picks a seat two rows ahead” “slightly better looking nerd guy that thinks he’s the shit because he’s slightly better looking” “asian” “guy who thinks he knows more than the professor” etc
although back in high school I totally knew a guy who made every essay about anime characters…and another who did that with video game characters fff
Heh… In my Computer Science class I have “guy who claps (loudly) after someone tells a mildly funny joke” and “guy who keeps on railing on how bad checkstyle is” and “I must wear my trench coat everyday guy”. I do at least know the names of the two other girls that I sit next to, so that’s something.
I’m nearing my third year of studying for a BA in games design and I shamefully know everyone’s name in my class, being that it’s only a class of 15 makes it slightly easier.
But I do minor in creative writing and there’s a few that stick out. Guy that “asks questions to the lecturer that aren’t relating to the subject, but instead just shows his intelligence.” and guy “who seems to be the whitest “gangsta” in journalism”
Man, this brings it all back… I’ve experienced a bunch of the “anime in every assignment” guys across the past 10 years.
Also… “Guy who attempts to coast through the course on bad-assery alone but eventually ends up disappearing.”, “Guy who literally stitches projects together using thoroughly inappropriate media.” and “Guy who based the credibility of his entire project on the assumption nobody else had watched Nosferatu because he hadn’t either.”
I think I’m “weird girl who listens to 70’s music in a town of Taylor Swift fans, who goes to a liberal arts school but wishes she was in Europe or the UK studying fine arts.”
Actually I hope that’s not my nickname, because that would mean people are reading my mind. I think I’m probably just “weird girl” for short.
I knew people like that at UArts! The “I’m going to talk really loud so people can hear how obnoxiously funny I am!” and her friend “I dye my hair with marker!”
I do this comic for free, but if you like it and have a little extra to throw my way, I'd very much appreciate it.

The best part of the alt text is that Don Draper does in fact art-judge a lady into throwing a TV out the window.
Intertextuality!

At least it’s better than nicknaming all the people you’ve had sex with.
I recognize all three of those people from when I was in art school, except anime guy was a lady.

And just what exactly isn’t manly about art school? >:[
