seventeen as college students i know

seungcheol: always on time for class, drives his friends to school, always has water on him to share, permanently in a school sweatshirt and slides, professors love him, his ig + snapchat are just workout progress pictures and videos and blurry pics of dogs he spots on campus, drinks way too much boba 

jeonghan: the one that comes to class either one minute before class or fifteen minutes after class with not a hair out of place, will find a quizlet link with the test answers in it and share it only with friends, works part-time in the mall, professors can’t decide whether they hate him or love him

joshua: most matches on tinder but also horrible at talking to any of them, notorious for accidentally leading people on, will leave the minute class is over so nobody can ever talk to him, does his homework on time, part of a christian organization on campus and frequently invites people to come to events where he’ll play the guitar, studies last minute for everything because of his 1000 extracurriculars

jun: the handsome kid in the back, professor has to call on him for people to know what he sounds like, accidentally laughs out loud when professor fucks up with technology, easily asks for classmates numbers (for hw ofc) and given his number as well, how has he not had a heart attack from all the bread he eats

soonyoung: comes to class looking half dead, will walk in with a whole subway sandwhich in his hand, only wears sweats, has to drop the fact that he’s in a dance club whenever he forgets to do the assignments (which is often), makes great jokes in the back for jun to laugh at

wonwoo: surprisingly not good with turning in hw on time, a litle intimidating, everybody thinks they’re gonna get an A if they work with him, he rly just manages a group project but doesn’t do a whole lot, people in class can’t help but stare at him, always has his phone on his desk 

jihoon: diligent, has folders for each course he’s taking, more intimidating than wonwoo, hates letting people (soonyoung) cheat off his work, still takes notes on paper rather than a laptop, writes in his planner, has to sit in the front because he can’t see otherwise, surprisingly gets along well with jun 

seokmin: always happy, even when he has three discussions and a paper due at midnight he’s smiling, always eating something, bites his nails sometimes, he lives in the department building, actually really good about turning in work on time, always greets his professors, hums out loud when walking through the halls  

mingyu: a study guide extraordinaire, stresses when he gets below an A in anything, fashion is always straight fire even in a 7:30 AM class, the only person who willingly takes 7:30 AM classes, his life is all in order, chaotic good, drops his pencils, notebooks, and basically anything on his desk at least twice in class, also gets a cold like every two weeks, also works a research job when not busy being perfection

minghao: also a diligent student, only splits time between dance and school, bboys in front of the library with his other friends, heavy instagram user, his hair changes as frequently as his clothes, very shy but is always friendly and polite to everyone

hansol: the reason why people show up to class, always shows interest in what the prof is saying and laughs at their jokes, terrible handwriting, forgets writing utensils frequently, phone goes off at least once every class, wears earbuds all the time so he misses ppl saying hi to him

seungkwan: another person who professors can’t decide whether they hate or love, accidentally jokes about the professor a little too loud, but always comes to class ready to learn, always hungry, shares his tangerines with others so the whole class smells like tangerines, becomes friends with the whole class, has big dreams, in the theater club on campus

chan: the student who competes for everything, good at sticking to a routine, also on the dance team, too many commitments so he barely sees his friends, only eats salads and energy bars cause he doesn’t want freshman fifteen (even when he’s a junior), very disciplined, the cute kid people want to be friends with

How to Impersonate the Types

Based on behaviors that everyone of these types do 100%(yes that’s sarcasm).

INTP: Stay awake until you no longer have the willpower to control your train of thought. Search up various advanced theories, preferably science or psychology, on wikipedia until you’re convinced that time is a dependent variable and you are a sociopath. Compensate with hot drinks.

INTJ: Spend all of your money on technology, video games, and music. Stress out internally over every situation. Be extremely competent when it counts but oblivious when it doesn’t. Hide all of your emotions from everyone, save for maybe 1 person if they’re lucky.

INFP: Always look on the bright side and try to uplift others, with bonus points for being very physically affectionate towards your friends. Pick up some assorted hobbies or interests and select a few topics at random to be unnecessarily stubborn about. Harbor immense pain and wait for someone to ask you what’s wrong.

INFJ: Develop obsessions with multiple TV shows on Hulu and Netflix. Find a way to both be successfully productive and procrastinate. Listen to everyone’s problems. Flock to people you admire and absorb everything you like about them into your personality.

ISTP: Refuse to let anything properly anger you and take everything in stride. Be honest and forthcoming about what you think. Express your opinions loudly and definitively. Feed off of success and knowing exactly what you’re good at.

ISTJ: Claim to have no feelings. Climb a tree and sit there to write poetry, paint, feel sorry for yourself, and cry. Deliver perfectly timed comebacks and one-liners with ease. Become obsessed with honesty. Start thinking in patterns. Plan a murder.

ISFP: Say everything on your mind regardless of how others might perceive it. Have good, pure intentions. Avoid focusing on anything for longer than 15 minutes. Travel a lot, for the experience, for the aesthetic, and for the ability to bring it up every 5 minutes when you get back.

ISFJ: Help anyone and everyone who needs it. Always look put-together and calm, even if you’re stressed out. Make witty/judgemental comments under your breath that no one hears. Stay out of drama. Keep most of your feelings from people.

ENTP: Refuse to commit to anything for longer than your attention span. Always have a comeback or witty response. Develop excessive confidence and ambition to mask any inner turmoil or insecurities. If someone asks you what’s wrong, avoid answering by quoting memes.

ENTJ: Attempt to control everything around you. Take the lead in organizing group plans. Aggressively take care of everyone. Push yourself to the point of having lowkey breakdowns and zero free time. Create your own sets of standards for things, and your own exceptions.

ENFP: Become overwhelmed by life. Identify as a partial introvert. Have a love-hate relationship with parties because you want to socialize but not all of the time. In fact, be conflicted by most things. Avoid hurting people’s feelings whenever possible. Somehow always look perfect, even when you’re not trying.

ENFJ: Write an entire story, but without any regard for conventional grammar. Master the “sour grapes” mentality. Always have energy, even when you’re tired. Make friends with everyone. Start listening to country music.

ESTP: Stop reading this post. Go skydive.

ESTJ: Erase any impure thoughts from your brain. Get a job that pays well and is traditionally acceptable. Go out of your way to help people and expect nothing in return. Take control of any projects that people aren’t doing perfectly. Have only perfectly explainable and rational feelings.

ESFP: Attend a party. Socialize with everyone and relish being the center of attention. Judge people, especially fake and self-centered people that make drama out of everything. Love observing the drama those people create. Planning and facebook are your new drugs.

ESFJ: Wear only light and pastel colors. Invite everyone to your parties because you don’t want to leave anyone out. If you aren’t in a relationship, desperately long for one. Become extremely salty. Try not to let people know how much you want their approval. Also, you’re now a mom.

loud laugh

[1912red]

apply for jobs you’re not qualified for! audit upper-level classes! get drunk with your TAs! see that poster advertising that lecture series? go there take notes and ask questions! thank the presenter for talking about this topic you love! if the class is full before you register, email the professor and ask if they can squeeze you in! RAISE YOUR HAND! tell the disability accomodation office to do their goddamn job! ask for help! file complaints! go to class in your pajamas and destroy the reading! you got this! you KNOW you got this! be arrogant enough to learn EVERYTHING! take your meds! punch a velociraptor in the dick! fear is useless and temporary! glory is forever! shed your skin and erupt angel wings! help out! spread your sun!

i had a really good morning! you deserve a really good morning! kill anyone who says you don’t and build a throne from their bones!

push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???

“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”

I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT

I really like Vernon and Woozi as a pair. They are both fairly silent and have some type of mutual respect for one-another. 

Woozi said he wants a mind like Vernon because of the meaningful and deep lyrics he can create while Vernon praises Woozi’s compositions and natural talent. I feel like these 2 can have a serious conversation and enjoy each others calm energy, apart from wild Seventeen.

NCT at Hogwarts

inspired by the ivy club photoshoot they did a couple weeks back, here if how the boys will be like once they received their Hogwarts letter on September 1 

Taeyong

Gryffindor

been a prefect and head boy since 5ever

altho he’s Gryffindor he takes care of everyone

practically Mark’s dad

he gives the boy study tips and helps with homework, advises him on which professors are good and who to avoid 

doesnt sleep sleep is for the weak

ok but seriously he is patrolling the corridors 24/7 for wandering souls and directing them back to bed safely (he’d prob tuck them in and give a goodnight kiss if he could) 

the house elves are always telling him to rest

“Mister Lee, you’ve been patrolling for 3 nights straight, please take a rest, everything is fine”

“im not sleepy at all, but thank you for your concern” *he smiles to stifle the upcoming yawn*

Madame Pomfrey dotes on him and makes it a routine to check in with him every night 

team captain of Gryffindor’s Quidditch team

perfect record except for one loss against Slytherin, costing him the cup

still salty about it to this day tbh

best subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts

an Auror in the making

Mcgonagall has edited her recommendation letter like 20 times now bc there’s always something to add ok LTY is that awesome 

Jaehyun

Slytherin

at first glance you think he’s Ravenclaw but that underlying smirks tells you otherwise

prefect and head boy like LTY

Slughorn adores him

his picture is placed dead center in the wall of fame, polished daily

gets along surprisingly well w/ ppl outside of Slytherin

enjoys going out to the lake on warm days to tickle the giant squid

Moaning Myrtle has a crush on him

he accidentally walked into her bathroom once and couldnt find it in his heart to reject her offer for a conversation and they started talking

constant wailings for Jung Jaehyun can be heard every Tuesday and Thursday

for the sake of keeping everyone sane he was “requested” by the headmaster to spend every Wed. evening with Myrtle

tbh its not that bad 

he gets 10 House Points for every session spent with her

the best chaser on Slytherin’s Quidditch team

nails the Quaffle in every time

the only reason Slytherin loses to their biggest competition Gryffindor is bc Taeyong catches the Snitch first

Honeydukes is his paradise

he even sneaks out sometimes to get the newest samples of fudge and other sugary delicacies despite being a prefect/head boy

has a secret box filled with candy under his bed for late night snacking

Taeil

Hufflepuff

Professor Sprout’s TA

he’s great at teaching the first and second years about magical plants

a bit hard on hearing tho after experiencing a live Mandrake scream session

usually needs to tell him the same thing 3 times before he gets it

have you heard this boy sing bc Flitwick has and Taeil is the only student member of the school’s frog choir

his singing has even captivated the mermaids by the lake and they always harmonize in response

lowkey a prankster tho

he cast a full body bind on Mrs. Norris once and blamed it on Yuta, who was walking by w/ Haechan

they were given detention and Moon Taeil got away scot-free

the type to always have a chocolate frog on him to give to others bc he’s a sweetheart like that

mark: “i bombed mcgonagall’s essay exam” 

*hands over a chocolate frog*

winwin: taeyong took off 10 points from me for sneaking out to feed the unicorns 

*hands over a chocolate frog*

haechan: got anything to eat im starving 

*hands over a chocolate frog*

#1 on Madame Pince’s hit list bc he checks out library books and doesnt remember to return them until they pile up on his nightstand

super scared of the ghosts even his 7th year

Mark

Gryffindor 

the baby of Gryffindor House tbh

Mcgonagall adores him and sometimes turns a blind eye on his essays when theyre three/four inches short on the required length

constantly trolled by the moving staircases

always running late

Taeyong constantly helps him study and checks over his hw my OG son and his father :’))) 

best friends w/ Haechan despite being in rival houses

always has his back even tho Haechan is the one who always messes up

a hidden rap god 

makes mixtapes and has Haechan review them before packing them to send home via owl

his friends from back home help him post it on the Internet and he’s a global sensation

best known as the guy who did “that’s a long ass ride” 

very interested in magical creatures

always asking Hagrid or the Care for Magical Creatures professor for more info after class or just to stay after to watch them 

the centaurs adore him and love making divinations to predict his future

Haechan

Slytherin

the second-coming of the Weasley twins

dungbombs, ambushed with random charms while you’re walking down the hall? 

99% of the time its Haechan

Filch and Mrs. Norris are like his homies 

they know him well after getting him sent in at least twice per week

“LEE, GET YOUR LITTLE ARSE DOWN HERE BEFORE I SEND MRS. NORRIS UP TO FETCH YOU”

against all expectations his best friend is Mark Lee from Gryffindor

they met when Haechan pulled him back from falling head-first off the carriage through the Forbidden Forest in second year

since then they’ve hit it off really well always looking out for each other in class and stuff

excellent in Charms

Flitwick praises him all the time for learning new ones in literally two tries

the only student Peeves is ok with 

the poltergeist has never met such a kindred spirit until Haechan came along

getting on Filch’s nerves is their life goal and theyre really good at doing just that

Doyoung

Ravenclaw

on point w/ his schoolwork you never need to worry about him falling behind at all

commentator during Qudditch games VROOM VROOM AT ITS FINEST

his voice is a charmer ppl love hearing him talk

“and Taeyong captures the snitch again what a steal!”

“i know we’re friends but can you just let us win once like we’re not that bad but you’re such an over-achiever that–”

mcgonagall usually has to intervene at least twice while he’s on the job

“Kim Doyoung if you can’t give proper commentary then I’m giving the mic to Haechan”

usually shuts up after that but finds ways to throw in shade without causing too much trouble

lowkey wants to become an Animagus

succeeded in 5th year but isnt registered 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

i mean how do u think he gets such accurate administrative info to share with you all 

guess what his Animagus form is no hes not a bunny

jk hes totally a bunny 

loves History of Magic of all subjects what a nerd

each day in the Ravenclaw common room begins with “A Cool Thing about Hogwarts” courtesy of Kim Doyoung

Yuta

Slytherin

there’s no better house for hot stuff him

a savage and also the deadliest manipulator in the entire school

how does he do it? 

that stupid healing smile of his o m g 

one flash of those pearly-whites and you’ll be melting into a puddle in 2 seconds

doesnt intentionally stir up drama tho

unless its Quidditch

that’s when his competitive streak as Slytherin’s team captain comes out

really tough on his teammates but they dont mind bc they know theyre the shit and they all want to win the cup for Slytherin a second time

his biggest competition + best friend is Lee Taeyong from Gryffindor House

their friendship started after Yuta won over LTY in 4th year and LTY kept bugging him for a personal rematch

if Myrtle cries for Jaehyun on Tuesdays and Thursdays then she literally floods her bathroom on Mondays and Fridays in order to attract Yuta after receiving a healing smile when he came to pick up Jaehyun one Wednesday evening

catching on that she likes him, he pops in every so often to praise Myrtle for doing such a good job at making ol’ Filch’s life miserable, causing her to blush silver and maintain high-quality floods and sink leakages each week

gets along with everyone, even those not in Slytherin

the one most likely to drift to another house’s table once dinner starts

favorite table to go to is Gryffindor’s to hang out with LTY

Winwin

Hufflepuff

a transfer student from a wizarding school in China

despite not knowing a thing about Hogwarts, everyone took it upon themselves to show him the ropes so that hes in good hands

rooms w/ Taeil and the two of them hit it off really well

adored by all the professors, even grumpy Snape

they cut him some slack since 

1) he’s a transfer 

2) he’s a precious bean

favorite subject is Muggle Studies

fascinated w/ traffic lights and smartphones

he now knows a lot about proper ways to cross the road and how to download music to a small device called an iPod

look i know unicorns usually like girls more but Sicheng is one of those rare chosen ones

one of the foals directly approached him first and he felt so honored

since then hes been approached by other unicorns too, from babies to full grown adult unicorns

nickname: unicorn whisperer

never alone

NCT as Types of Boys

[ Late Valentine’s Day post ]

Taeyong - 6:30 a.m.

wakes up before you do, brushes your hair out of your face, wants to wake you up but is too scared to do it, messy hair, raspy morning voice, wakes up early but takes hours to get out of bed

Winwin - 7:02 a.m.

plans to make you a nice breakfast, slept through his alarm so he pours you a bowl of cereal instead, eats cereal sleepily, sweatpants, comments on how cute you look in the morning

Haechan - 8:46 a.m.

copies your homework 10 mins before class starts, promises he won’t do it again, breaks that promise, gives you gum to suppress his guilt, texts you during class to make you laugh

Jeno - 8:50 a.m.

races you to school, lets you win on special occasions, offers to carry your bag, lets you under his umbrella when it rains, teases you if you wake up late, always asks you to say hi to your mom for him

Ten - 10:00 a.m.

checks time every twenty seconds until it’s ten, shows you the time excitedly, is enthralled for the next thirty minutes, asks you to help him choose his earrings for the day, picks out his outfits according to what you like

Taeil - 11:38 a.m.

takes you on a picnic, serenades you after every few bites of food, throws grapes in your mouth, gives left over food to children passing by, picks flowers to put in your hair

Renjun - 12:40 p.m.

sits next to you at lunch, switches certain foods with yours, talks with his mouth full, takes the occasional selfie with you, doesn’t care about the stares and teasing from classmates and teachers

Chenle - 1:27 p.m.

says hi to you whenever he sees you in the halls, asks you to help him remember his locker combo as an excuse to talk to you, volunteers to pass out papers so he can pass you, blushes when attention is drawn toward him

Kun - 2:19 p.m.

brings home goodies after work, takes note of your favorite things, king of unexpected presents, gets embarrassed when you praise him, bites lip shyly when giving you surprises

Mark - 3:11 p.m.

makes bets anywhere and everywhere, doesn’t care if you’re in public, “if I win you have to kiss me”, you end up kissing him, laughs when you get frustrated, buys you food as an apology

Jisung - 5:32 p.m.

shares instant ramen with you on the couch, eats all the noodles, makes another cup to make you happy, accidentally burns himself, asks for a kiss to make him feel better

Johnny - 7:26 p.m.

makes you a warm bath, ends up joining you, laughs at funny bubble hairstyles, water fight, literally makes the biggest mess, eventually cleans it up, leaves bathroom with pruned fingers

Yuta - 8:01 p.m.

late night walks, never lets go of your hand, asks you to take 10,000 pics of him, forces you to retake the picture if it’s not perfect, reads every store sign out loud, begs you to buy him street food, never ending pda

Jungwoo - 9:41 p.m.

slow steady breathing, sometimes talks in his sleep, steals all the blanket, apologizes the next morning, can’t sleep unless music is playing, soft snores, literally the most gentle sleeper

Lucas - 10:57 p.m.

sneaks into your bedroom window, almost wakes up your parents because of crashing into your bedside table, quiet giggles, chaste and playful kisses, night full of whispered conversations

Jaehyun - 11:20 p.m.

cuddles and watches netflix movies with you, smells soooo good, chews popcorn loudly, blushes at romance scenes, starts talking to you and completely forgets about the movie

Jaemin - 12:48 a.m.

phone is hot because of three hour facetime call, talks about everything, puts mouth too close to the mic, whines when you want to go to sleep, googles would you rather questions to keep you awake 

Doyoung - 3:17 a.m.

shows up at your doorstep drenched and panting, pulls you into the biggest embrace, sings while wiping away your tears, warm plush lips against your face, makes sure you fall asleep safely in his arms

nct / hogwarts headcanons?

oh man

long post warning but imagine

slytherin captain and ace chaser yuta

donghyuck commentating during matches but being totally biased towards slytherin

gryffindor chenle trying to steal the microphone back and being equally biased towards his own house

basically there’s a lot of yelling whenever it’s gryffindor vs slytherin

hufflepuff keeper mark is just really stressed

gryffindors ten and johnny taking illegal bets and being found out and sent to detention for two weeks

prefects taeyong (h), doyoung (s), jaehyun (g) and ravenclaw taeil

muggleborn hufflepuff sicheng being best friends with gryffindor jaehyun cos sicheng was a bit lost and wasn’t quite sure how to get to platform 9¾ in first year so jaehyun helped him and they sat together on the train and have been best friends since

they were disappointed they weren’t sorted into the same house but it never stopped them from being bffs anyway

sometimes sicheng sleeps in the gryffindor dorms and forgets that while he has early morning double potions, jaehyun has a free period, so he’s rushing to get dressed and get to class and he puts on jaehyun’s red tie instead of his yellow one

ten and johnny are also taking bets on how long it’s going to take for them to stop being oblivious and get together

(taeil ends up winning 20 galleons, doyoung is depressed because he was so sure it would happen after jaehyun’s quidditch match, not before)

yuta being paired up with taeyong in divination and not taking the class seriously at all, and instead, putting like 500% effort into making taeyong laugh

“what do you see in your teacup”

“i see the words ‘taeyong’s hair is very soft’, that sounds right to me”

(the jokes just get worse every time but taeyong laughs cos he feels sorry for yuta)

doyoung and taeil competing over the best table in the library

one day they enter the library at the same time and doyoung starts to power walking to The Table (in a cosy, undisturbed corner behind the Arithmancy section) and taeil really doesn’t want to lose his spot so he breaks out into a run and PUSHES DOYOUNG and doyoung is like about to go OFF when little jisung is just like

“um there are two seats why don’t you just share”

and yeah then there’s the time i swear jeno and renjun try to sneak into hogsmeade to buy jaemin a birthday present

donghyuck and doyoung starting a slytherin acapella group

mark sneaking hot chocolate out of the kitchen after lights out and sharing with donghyuck who always complains that the slytherin dorms are too cold

idk there are probably like a ton more i could go on forever
