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.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
