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?

That being said, the St. John Fisher Class of 2020 is so excited to be here and be a part of the Fisher Family! Go Cardinals!
