No worries freshman, you're not alone.

Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year
University of Delaware

Freshman, you're not alone. As we enter the Fall 2016 semester, we juniors are scrambling around like chickens with our heads cut off too. It's almost as if the clocks were turned back two years because we are oddly unfamiliar with the campus. Between moving out of the dorms into new homes, learning to adult (i.e. food shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.), and realizing graduate school applications are quickly approaching, we juniors are beginning this school year quite flustered.

So if you happen to notice students making these rookie mistakes on campus, do not just assume they are freshman because they may just as well be the confused juniors of the world.

1. Walking into the wrong class on the first day


2. Googling the campus map to find the building your class is in


3. Setting your class schedule as your lock screen


4. Misjudging how long it takes to walk to class, so you show up super early or super late


5. Forgetting what times your classes are


6. Answering questions the first week of classes and being the first name your professors learn


7. Trying to go to the gym at the beginning of the year --> constantly standing around waiting for machines


8. Realizing you forgot a million things at home when you unpack


9. Microwaving ramen for dinner even though you have a full kitchen



10. Showing up to parties the first weekend with every friend you've ever met in college

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
