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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
