Yep, we see you. Try as you will to hide the fact that you're the newbies on campus, but all attempts will fail. We've been there. We feel your struggle. These 11 signs are the easiest ways to know that you've spotted a freshman (or that you're that freshman):

1. Dresses up for class

Two months into the school year, and the freshmen still dress up for class… necklaces included. Give it two days into the school year, and the upperclassmen are already in tshirts, gym shorts, and their hair in a bun.

2. Schedules 8am's willingly

Sure, we all did it for high school; but, all of us are going to laugh at you for purposely scheduling them. Give it three weeks, and it’s damn near impossible to make it to an 8am.

3. Surrounded by a big group of friends

The people with the most friends on campus are the new freshmen. It’s like a competition or something. That big friend group dwindles down throughout the years; soon, the 20 people you used to eat lunch with turns into one.

4. Lanyard around the neck

Yeah, that’s not a thing unless you’re a freshman. Do yourself a favor and throw it in your pocket or something. We can spot you from a mile away.

5. Stops on sidewalk, zooms in on their phone, and starts walking again

Or, if you’re like some people, you’re not ashamed in being lost, and just walk around with a physical map. If you see someone stopping, zooming, stopping, turning around, checking their phone, and finally entering a building – you’ve spotted a freshman (who doesn’t know where their class is).

6. Is overly interested in any event on campus

As the years go on, the hoorah dies. Sure, campus events are fun; but, it’s usually the freshmen that go to every single one and hype them up.

7. Asks what dorm you're in

“So, what dorm are you in?” “What’s your major?” “Where are you from?” The start to any conversation they have.

8. Is 10 pounds lighter than the rest of us

The freshman 15 is a real thing. Luckily, they’ll fit in with us real soon. But, deep inside, we’re all jealous of their bodies.

9. Carries the bulkiest backpack

You learn, after the first three weeks, bringing your ten pound textbooks to class are useless. I mean, who cares if you paid a good $250 for that textbook that weighs more than you, the professors are just going to read straight off the powerpoint and put it on Blackboard.

10. Wearing their senior sweatshirt/high school clothes

One of the best ways to stand out in the crowd. We get it; your mascot was a Squirrel in high school; but, you gotta embrace the change and become one of us now. If you’re looking to get called out for being a freshman, then sure, put on your “Class of 2017” sweatshirt.

and lastly...

11. Stops for cars at the crosswalk

Halfway into freshman year, and for the rest of your college career, you’re in the “do me a favor, and just hit me” stage. “Sure, go ahead. I can’t afford this tuition, but given the car you drive, you sure can pay it off for me. Also, I didn’t do the assignment that’s due for the class I’m walking to,” says every upperclassman ever. If someone’s stopping, or waving for a car to go, it’s a freshman.
