11 Ways To Spot A College Freshman

As much as we don't want to admit it, college freshmen are easy to spot. When you are a freshman yourself, you refuse to believe that you can be easily identified as a "newbie," but everyone else around you could guess your class in 3 seconds flat. It's not a bad thing to be a freshman, everyone has to start somewhere right?

1. They are the only perky people in your 8 a.m. classes.

2. They keep close track of how many classes they skip, while upperclassmen are only concerned with how many meals they have missed.

3. They call home at least once every day… or maybe seven.

4. Their alarm clock is set 2 hours before class, meanwhile, upperclassmen stroll in 5 minutes late with no worries.

5. They love dining hall food and all the selections. Upperclassmen have had enough of the bland burgers and unidentifiable vegetable mix.

6. They mostly travel in packs so they don’t have to walk across campus alone.

7. They will dress nicely for class. Upperclassmen only dress well for a job interview or court date.

8. They are the only ones with a notebook, t-shirt, folder, and planner all with your school’s logo printed on the front.

9. The assignment that is due on Friday will be turned in by Wednesday afternoon. However, upperclassmen hit “submit” at 11:58 p.m.

10. They stay up super late and are somehow still able to function the next day.

11. They’ll read this list and argue that none of it is true.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
