haikyuu boys as types of college students
→ HINATA is the overeager freshman. he raises his hand in class for every single question, actually annotates all his readings, and calls all his professors by their proper title even when they refer to themselves as something like “jared.”
→ KAGEYAMA is the jaded freshman. he wanted to attend somewhere better since he had a perfect SAT score and graduated as valedictorian in high school, but he finds that any college is hard and he’s probably in the right place. declares his major early on and actually sticks with it.
→ TSUKISHIMA is the guy in class who plays devil’s advocate and then disappears as soon as the class time is up. probably hogs discussion time, but since his argument points are so good, the professor doesn’t even say anything.
→ YAMAGUCHI is the guy you bump into every time you’re walking in the dorm halls. he smiles and waves at everyone he sees. timid during class but makes up for it because he actually goes to office hours.
→ SUGA is the nice person you partner up with and inevitably end up crushing on all semester. he’s put together, diligent without kissing up to the professor, and gets along with all the TAs and custodians. on the other hand, he does straight shots of smirnoff ice nearly every day of the weekend.
→ DAICHI is the senior spirit leader. he’s secretly tired of his job and of dealing with overzealous or unenthusiastic freshmen, but he still wants to make a good impression on his professors because he needs those linkedin connections.
→ OIKAWA is the most popular guy on campus. not in a way that people confess to him daily or follow him around, more like everyone’s heard of him or he’s the friend of a friend of a friend. he’s not even famous because of how good he is at sports, he’s just well known for no apparent reason.
→ IWAIZUMI the cool upperclassman. he’s intimidating at first because he’s capable and can boss around the popular guy, and then you see his godzilla keychain. he probably melts when he sees dogs on campus.
→ KUROO is the cocky upperclassman you meet from a club. he relentlessly teases the freshmen and tries to use his authority as a junior or senior to subtly hit on people. also a teacher’s pet and changes his major too often.
→ KENMA is the person who’s in the student center at 3am every night, hunched over his laptop. doesn’t drink enough water. he spends more time on games than schoolwork, but he still does alright in his classes.
→ BOKUTO is the team captain who’s close to losing his scholarship because his gpa has been slipping since freshman year. accidentally embodies the student athlete meme and posts a lot of gym selfies.
→ AKAASHI is the beautiful person you see once in the library or strolling across the quad. you make eye contact briefly and can’t forget about him. (cue the song campus by vampire weekend.)
→ USHIJIMA is the scary upperclassman you run into on the first day. turns out he’s actually nice, but his gaze and blunt words make a freshman cry on the quad once. he’s still not sure why that happened.
→ TENDOU is the guy no one’s sure actually attends classes. he calls all his professors by their first name and is still undecided on major even though he’s a senior. what year was he in again?
→ ATSUMU is the frat boy who’s somehow also a star athlete. he’s definitely done legendary embarrassing things while drunk and somehow everyone knows his name. infamous for his antics but famous for his athletics and often gets called osamu despite being better known than his twin.
→ OSAMU is basically a frat boy just because he knows so many people in frats (probably engineering frats, honestly). he really takes advantage of every single dining hall card swipe but never gained his freshman 15. everyone you know has a crush on him.
→ SUNA is the guy who might be a stoner, but you can’t tell for sure. he’s the hot one in your class whom everyone would be down to get with, but he’s mysterious and probably misses lectures a lot.
→ SAKUSA is the person who meticulously edits the margins of the powerpoint slides and never shares his gum. if you’re paired with him for a group project, prepare to earn excellent grades but have to deal with him glaring at you all the time.
→ KITA is that perfect upperclassman whose name you look up and then immediately feel overwhelming impostor syndrome. he balances ten extracurriculars, six extra course credits, and a paid internship – and he still manages to get eight hours of sleep every night. no one knows how he does it.
