People form groups in social settings; it’s human nature. At STLCC-Meramec, students form various cliques– from divas, to slackers to the gamers and everyone in between. Below are descriptions of different groups that people may or may not fall into. Where do you fall?
What time do you usually get to class?
A. Whenever you feel like leaving the drum circle.
B. About ten minutes early—you need to ask your teacher about last class’ lecture.
C. A few minutes before class starts–you file your nails and text the latest gossip.
D. As soon as your game ends in the cafeteria.
E. You’re already on campus because you could never tear yourself away from your project.
F. About 30 minutes late—after all, the teacher said it’s better to come late than not at all, right?
A=6, B=4, C=1, D=2, E=5, F=3
How do you spend your free time on campus?
A. Catching some Z’s in the library.
B. Playing hacky sack, dancing to the drum beats, and setting a new hula hooping record.
C. Playing your portable game device, after a game of “Yu- Gi-Oh!” or “Magic: the Gathering” in the cafeteria.
D. Dragging around your drawing board and art supplies is tiring, so you find your niche in the dark room.

Overachiver
Someone who is an overachiever is more than likely the person in class who shows up 10 minutes early.
In classrooms, overachievers are easy to detect. They usually raise their hands on a regular basis and constantly ask questions and give examples. These are the best people to partner up with for class assignments.
Generally, they are the students who took a lot of college credit courses in high school and are at Meramec to prove that was no waste of time.
Slacker
They might as well be famous for asking “Do you have a pencil I can borrow?”
They exist in almost every class but no one knows why they even bother coming to school at all.
They tend to make a grand entrance around 30 minutes after class has begun, without pen or paper. They will more than likely ask the teacher if he or she has any extra handouts from last class.
Undoubtely, the slacker in class is the person who gets away without contributing a single bit to group projects.
Hippie
It’s Friday at noon and all the hippies are lounging around the drum circle.
They chill and feel the music as they hit their bongos in a rhythmic fashion. Don’t forget about the surrounding hippies dancing with hula hoops.
Other times of the week, they congregate here to smoke, give chain massages and play hacky sack. In general they advocate for peace and love, dude. In class, most of the time, they smell of cigarette smoke and cheap incense.
Diva
No, that’s not a SWAT team heading toward the masses, it’s a diva, strutting her stuff as she walks from class to class.
Girls that demand things from others can be known as “Divas.” They fix their hair and makeup in the mirror in the bathroom, hogging the sinks from those who are waiting to wash their hands. Generally, they text throughout class, daring not to miss the latest gossip. They try out for every campus play because they cannot get enough drama in other aspects of their lives.
Artist
Everyone knows an artist.
Most of the time, they fill up their notebooks with sketches and doodles in the place of notes during class. They can’t help themselves from taking in inspiration from everything around them. They spend the majority of time on campus in the dark room, developing their latest portrait masterpiece and are always on the prowl for models.
They create works of art from things like a simple piece of yarn to blocks of wood.In general, artists can found in Humanities East dragging around drawing boards, art supplies, and any props they plan to produce as artwork.
Gamer
Unless a comic book convention is taking place, student gamers can generally be found in the cafeteria actively getting involved in a game “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, in the library playing “World of Warcraft” or walking to class using a PSP or Gameboy.
Gamers are probably guilty of missing a few classes after not wanting to interrupt an extreme game of “Pokemon.”
They can be identified on campus because of the bags under their eyes from neglecting sleep after long intense nights of Halo.
Forget textbooks, their backpack might be filled with trading cards and comic books.
