"work" is an action, a verb. "university" is a thing, a noun. "met" is an action, a verb. "well" is an interjection here. "but" connects two clauses, a conjunction. "after" shows a time - relation, a preposition. "Dang" is an interjection. "dress" is a noun. "really" modifies "looks", an adverb. "her" is a pronoun. "said" is a verb. "and" is a conjunction. "after" is a preposition. "schoolwork" is a noun. "hardly" modifies "wait", an adverb. "spring" is an adjective modifying "vacation".
