14 Signs You're a Fisher Freshman

Welcome Class of 2020!

14 Signs You're a Fisher Freshman
St. John Fisher College Facebook Page

1. You Wear Your Lanyard Around Your Neck

At least until we were told only freshman do it…I swear the bookstore has made at least $5,000 in lanyard sales.

2. You Have to Plan Out Meals

Because you will not, under any circumstances sit alone. Ever. Every meal requires a group message to coordinate when everyone is going and at what time. It actually makes me miss having a scheduled lunch period at school.

3. You Have to Spend 5 Minutes Calculating When You Go to Fishbowl, Cardinal or Cyber Whether to Use A Meal Swipe or Dining Dollars

How much is dinner worth? What do you mean I can’t swipe more than one meal swipe in a meal period? If I get a wrap and a drink should I use a meal swipe? Who knew getting food in college would require so much work.

4. That Awkward Moment When You Ask a Passerby Where Something Is and They Say That They're A Freshman Too

Nothing, and I mean nothing is more embarrassing. Sorry I don’t know my whole class… And this campus is pretty small so how do people at huge schools find their way around??

5. You Post a Picture of Your Room on Social Media

I swear move-in day my whole Instagram and Twitter feed was room pictures. It's nice to know I’m not the only one breaking the fire code.

6. You're Terrified of the Fisher 50

EVERYONE has warned you about it. Everyone. And maybe they aren’t wrong with milkshakes from Fishbowl, daily ice cream in Ward-Haffey and Breakfast for Dinner in Murphy. Cue the daily gym trips and salad bar voyages!

7. You're Either Kicked Out or Not Let Into Parties

“Freshman go home!”, or “Sorry no freshman allowed” are common phrases when you’re just trying to go out. Do the upperclassmen not remember that they were Freshman once too?

8. Every Conversation Starts With "So What's Your Major?"

You don’t know what else to say so you just ask name, hometown, and major. For every person. Even though you’ll forget it before the next time you see them. And with these conversations you’ll realize…

9. You've Already Met at Least 20 Nursing Majors

I swear 60 percent of the freshman class is Nursing majors. Then 20 percent is Pharmacy, 10 percent is Bio Pre-Med, and 10 percent is everything else. If your roommate isn’t a Nursing major, I can almost guarantee your suitemate or your neighbor is.

10. All Upperclassmen Somehow Know You're a Freshman Even if You Haven't Told Them

“Oh you’re a freshman right?”. …Uh what?? I’m not even wearing a lanyard… The amount of time the freshman class has been told we look like babies is unreal.

11. The GroupMe Blows Up Your Phone

Thus why a third of the group have left it. People only talk in it to promote things or talk about parties.

Don't tell but I have it muted.

12. Half the People You Meet You Were Already Friends With Them on Facebook or Followed on Instagram Before You Came Here

Thanks Fisher Class of 2020 Facebook Group for all these followers! Then there’s the awkward moment when you don’t know whether to tell someone you follow them on Instagram…

13. Your Favorite Part of the Week is the Off Campus Shuttles

We can’t have cars so how else are we going to get there?! The shuttle vans are packed full of people trying to get their weekly Pittsford Plaza or Wegmans fix.

14. Either Your Cover Photo On Facebook or Your Header on Twitter is the Class of 2020 Class Photo

If our class photo isn’t your cover photo or your header, do you even go here?

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
