Graduation is fast approaching and hopefully soon enough you’re going to face the big bad world of employment…or maybe you work part time already, if so, you might recognise a few of these gems… if not, you have it all to look forward to…kind of. Here are the types of people you will work with after college..

The complete jerk
There’s one person that everybody just really dislikes and it’s because of their manner, whether they think they’re better than you or think that they deserve everyone’s respect because they’ve been there for so long. Basically no job is complete without the token jerk.

The kiss ass
No matter what the boss says, this person will not stop sucking up. They make everyone sick to their stomachs and generally reckon they can walk on water.

The person who gets away with everything
They can get away with murder because they can cover their tracks and will generally be the ones that infuriate everyone -but only under your collective breaths of course.

The chatter box
You let work slide Friday evening because you were talking about the weekend with chatter box. Now as you attempt to play catch up to meet that looming deadline on Monday morning, Chatter Box still won’t shut up.

The potentially crazy person
There’s always that guy who could potentially be a serial killer. He has no online presence so you can’t stalk him and he never talks about himself, so no one knows anything about him. He looks oddly like Jeffrey Dahmer too, which is weird.

The celebrity enthusiast
Coronation Street, TOWIE, Kim and Kanye, Gwyneth Paltrow’s broken marriage or anything celebrity related is topic of conversation 24/7…

The level headed one
The stable person who has kind words for everyone and is the go-to person for making quick and measured decisions. Some people in the office will have the opinion that “there’s just something not right with that person” and there may be rumours that they don’t work as hard because they’re so calm, but it’s probably The Jerk making those claims.

The egotistical power hungry psycho
The person who has climbed only one rung of the ladder, yet behaves like a dictator. Avoid.

The control freak
Neat desk, different highlighters for different tasks, colour coded post-its, reaches a borderline nervous breakdown any time something slightly small and unimportant goes awry. You basically work with Sheldon Cooper.

The gym enthusiast
Whey protein at the ready! Instead of lunch, they eat dumbbells and use any spare time to either work out or talk about working out. When you talk about sports, they steer the conversation towards training regimes and what sports stars do in the gym rather than what actually happened in the match. Male gym enthusiasts tend to have an extremely weird and unexplainable infatuation with other males muscles and abs. Baffling!

The nitpicker
They can tell you what is wrong with every single person in your place of work. The one thing they can’t see are the obvious gaping flaws they have themselves…

Ever wonder how yoga teachers have such an incredible figure, apart from the obvious of actually doing yoga? You’re in luck, as we have uncovered their secrets -read on for lean legs, toned arms and incredible abs.

Have a fruit smoothie
A fruit smoothie in the morning will ensure you get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals.

Eat avocados
Avocados are great for providing the body with much needed folic acid and potassium. They will make your skin glow so try them on crackers.

Use various exercise
Don’t just stick to one exercise. Spice it up by running one day, walking another and doing your yoga stretches in between.

Do a handstand
Turning yourself upside improves circulation, boosts oxygen supply to the brain and helps to flush out toxins.

Eat little but often
Rather than having three large meals a day have six smaller ones. Don’t allow yourself get hungry or your body will try to store fat reserves.

Heartthrob actor Zac Efron was attacked during a street brawl when his car ran out of petrol in a dodgy area of downtown LA.

Zac reportedly got punched in the face during a scrap with at least three very unsavoury characters in a downtown area which is said to be plagued with drug dealers and gangs.

Even the High School Musical star’s bodyguard couldn’t protect him from the digs as the pair were outnumbered.

When questioned by cops, Zac told them the fight kicked off when he throw a bottle out of the window of his car, which had run out of petrol, and it smashed on the pavement near the group of men.

The actor said that two of the men took on his bodyguard and when Zac got out of the car to help, he got an almighty blow to the mouth.

Zac said, “It was the hardest I’ve ever been hit in my life.”

Sounds bad, but a witness said that the actor was clearly drunk when the brawl took place, and no arrests were made as the incident was seen as ‘mutual combat’.

Maybe be more careful next time Zac.

The shock split of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin has left us with a landslide of questions.

They seemed like the perfect couple so something doesn’t quite add up, and we want – no, we need answers!

While the couple were very clear that the break-up was amicable, rumours are rife that the marriage ended because Gwyneth cheated on her Coldplay hubby.

And new pictures of the actress kissing a former flame, a mere six months before the couple announced their split, have added much fuel to the fire.

Gwyneth was spotted getting very close to ex-boyfriend Donovan Leitch, who she dated in the early 90s, during an LA Dodgers game in September.

And that’s not all. Earlier this year, Gwyneth’s agent shot down reports that the star had cheated on Chris with entertainment lawyer Kevin Yorn.

The actress’ spokesperson has to jump to her defence once again last year after a rumoured fling with supermodel Elle Macpherson’s husband Jeff Soffer, blasting it as “completely false.”

Gwyneth is said to be fuming with being labelled a cheat – who wouldn’t be? – and pals of the actress have said allegations that she was unfaithful to her husband are ‘ridiculous’.

3. The phone
Whether it be your mobile or a landline, you speak into it on a regular bases so wipe it down. Also, those with touch-screens are texting and then pressing the phone to their faces. If that’s not a way to transfer bacteria to your face then we don’t know what is!

Joan Rivers has done it again, slamming Girls star Lena Dunham for sending out the message that it’s OK to be fat.

The 80-year-old comedian, who has never been known to mince her words, has attacked Lena’s weight and fashion sense.

Joan said that while she thought Lena was “terrific”, she didn’t know how she could wear “dresses above the knee.”

The Fashion Police presenter slammed Lena for wearing a bikini during an entire episode in the latest season of Girls, the show Lena herself created.

“You’re sending a message out to people saying it’s OK, stay fat, get diabetes, everybody die. Lose your fingers,” said Joan.

“If you look the way you look, Lena, and that’s fine and you’re funny, don’t say it’s OK that other girls can look like this,” she said, adding, “Try to look better.”
