Being at college, there are huge indicators that you're a freshmen. There is no denying it, either. Wear it proudly, then drop it your sophomore year.
1. You still carry a lanyard with your college ID on it.
Let’s face it. You really can just put your keys in a bag and your ID in your wallet.
2. You wear white Converse for every season.
Whether it be winter, spring, or fall, you wear those white Converse that have been through it all.
3. You dress up (i.e., Sperry’s and that hunter green vest) for a Saturday night party where there is nothing but sweat and dark lights.
Nobody cares what you’re wearing at party. And let’s face it, most guys just wear a Jersey anyway.
4. You try to join 10 separate clubs that have nothing to do with your major/future and expect yourself to successfully manage your time.
The chess club and future doctors of tomorrow don’t really mix. Plus going to bed at two trying to figure out the next time your club can meet really hinders your progress.
5. You think you made out with a 10 at that party when it really was a two on your college scale.
We’ve all been there. You saw them dancing, and you were not in the right state of mind. But hey, everyone needs some love.
6. You always go with a group to lunch. Never alone. Never.
Eating alone is too bold and courageous. And having a person from class who is moderately attractive to talk to isn’t half bad.
7. Netflix really isn’t your best friend.
You only watch Netflix when you’re procrastinating, and a best friend is supposed to help you.
8. Your bed actually is.
Which actually makes your bed your best friend.
9. Your “main” friend group changes after each minimester.
You make friends just to stay relevant in some sort of group, but then you realize these people actually suck and are no fun at all. So you change them and repeat.
10. You don’t start taking classes for your major until sophomore year.
Some people don’t even get into their major classes because of upperclassmen deciding to take on a minor.
11. You say, “What’s a diet?”
Your diet consists of pizza, Chinese food, and grade A cookies from your dining hall. Salads don’t come into the picture until you come home and your family asks if you’ve been gaining weight.
12. You’ll have a crush on a professor.
You can address them by their first names, which makes a teacher more like a person now, and then they talk about their personal life for the majority of the class period. And then you see the ring of the left hand. Then you’ll find a new professor to have a crush on.
College is fun for everybody. And freshmen, for the most part, live up to their stereotypes.
