20 Signs You're A College Freshman

20. You've never gone a week without wearing something that is school apparel, and you have unmatched spirit.

"I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED THAT I'M IN COLLEGE, ALL RIGHT?"

19. But... you still wear clothing from high school, or your Facebook profile picture is still from graduation.

Because, you know, you gotta represent.

18. You wear your lanyard and ID card around your neck.

Seriously, nobody else does that.

17. Your drink of choice is either Burnett's vodka or Natty light, and you can drink an obscene amount of it.


You're broke and you want to get drunk. You're not picking your alcohol based on taste or price.

16. You love to pregame more than you actually love to party.

There's nothing "pre" about presuming when you're a freshman. You pregame so hard that you don't even need to go out after.

15. You dress up for class past the first week.

And you do your hair. And your makeup. Even if the class is at 8 AM.

14. You sit in the front row of class, already have all the books, and have your notebook open before the professor has even said "Good morning!"

"Please like me, please give me an A, please think I'm smart!!!!"

13. You pretend that you're a superhuman when you're getting ready to go out in winter, because six inches of snow and below-freezing temperatures will not stop you from wearing your cute new crop top.


"NO, I'M NOT COLD."

12. You're enthusiastic about the idea of eating a diet of Ramen noodles and pizza.

You also might think you're invincible when it comes to the freshman fifteen.

11. You move in a literal pack.

Because there's safety in numbers.

10. Speaking of which... you're obsessed with your floor mates, and it doesn't matter if you have nothing in common with them.

All of your snapchats say "squad" with pictures of your floor.

9. You start every conversation with, "What's your major?" or "Where are you from?"

It's a pretty safe conversation starter.

8.You get the syllabus, turn to your friend, and say, "This looks a lot harder than high school!"

Because it's not high school.

7. There's no better way to gain a bunch of new followers on social media.


Insta-follow back? Yes, please.

6. You go into the wrong building for class and the wrong floor and the wrong room.

You're lost, we all know it, and it's okay.

5.You're been called a "freshie" or "fresh meat," and you've actually answered to it.

And you take some sort of pride in your nickname.

4. You never say no to any type of social event. Want to get pizza? Want to learn how to do our laundry? Want to study together?


You're ready for anything.

3. Your room is full of WAY too much stuff, or WAY too little.


There's two kinds of people: the "I brought everything that I've ever owned," and the person who has yet to realize that five t-shirts and a pillow probably won't cut it.

2. You've Instagram-ed a picture with the caption "#socollege" at least once.

It's a dead giveaway.

1. You introduce yourself by saying, "Hi! I'm a freshman!"

As if there was any doubt in our minds!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
