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!

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.
