17 Things That Make You An Ohio State Freshman

Freshman year is full of being clueless and doing "classic" freshman things. At OSU, there are some sure signs to allow you to spot a freshman from a mile away, and let's face it we all made these same mistakes.

1. You always post the classic pic of the view you have at Thompson on your Snapchat story.

2. For the first week of classes, you walked around campus staring at your OSU app because you had no clue where anything was.

3. You contemplate whether or not going to Kcomm or Scott is worth it because you're bound to see at least 5 people you know.

4. You actually think the dinning hall food is the best thing ever for the first month of school.

5. There was one game day that you just never made it to the actual game.

6. You are so confused as to why there is a man playing bagpipes in the middle of the Oval.

7. When people try to hand you flyers or make you sign up for something in the Oval, you actually take it or sign up.

8. Actually waiting until the walk sign is on to cross the street.

9. Getting to class 20 minutes early.

10. Seeing people fighting with light-sabers at night in front of Thompson and feeling so baffled.

11. Showing up to any library at 1 o'clock in the afternoon during finals week and actually thinking you'll get a table.

12. Never eating alone in the dining halls because you think you HAVE to eat with friends.

13. Accidentally getting on a CABS bus that goes east of High Street.

14. Calling the library 18th instead of SEL.

15. Carrying your room key around on a ponytail holder on your wrist.

16. Carrying your BuckID on a lanyard.

17. For your first Block, you spent far too much money on an outfit

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.
