14 Signs You're a Freshman and You Can't Read

Ah, yes - freshman year. If you're in college, I know you can relate. I know I can, because I am one!! Freshman year has been a real struggle so far, mostly because I can't read. Who knew that being literate was going to be so important in college? Not me! So for all my fellow illiterate freshmen, here are some signs that you and I can both relate to.

1. This is your first year of college.

Nothing says "freshman!" more than being in your first year of college.

2. You don't know what this sentence says.

Or this one!

3. You graduated high school less than a year ago.

I mean, probably. Unless you took a gap year or something, this is super relatable for all my freshies out there!

4. You don't understand all the hype about books.

Big deal. What's so great about a big stack of paper filled with weird squiggly lines? Seems like a waste of trees to me, if I'm being honest.

5. You take classes.

OMG! Do you have homework, and tests, and professors? ME TOO!

6. You frequently get lost.

It's so unfair. How are you supposed to get around when every sign has freakin WORDS on it? And building names? Don't even get me started.

7. Another term for your situation could be "frosh."

You can call yourself a "frosh" when you want to seem goofy and hip.

8. Textbooks seem like a huge waste of money.

Going off of point (4), you find it ridiculous to spend hundreds of dollars to own some stacks of paper that your professor probably scribbled on.

9. Some people also use "first year" to describe you.

You use this term when you want to seem more sophisticated and British.

10. LOL, what does this even say??

?????????????????

11. You applied to college last year.

That sucked, didn't it? But that's over because if you're a freshman then you're in college! I mean, if you want to transfer you have to do this again, but other than that, I know you can relate.

12. Seriously, how are you still looking at this listicle?

Seems like a waste of time to me.

13. You eat food.

Sure, you ate food before you were a freshman. But you still do it now that you are a freshman, and you may even do it a little differently now than before.

14. How are you in college? You can't read. You can't even read this. I can say anything I want here. You suck. Haha, I really got you there. But really, how are you in college?

LMK.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
