14 Signs You're a Fisher Freshman

Welcome Class of 2020!

14 Signs You're a Fisher Freshman
St. John Fisher College Facebook Page

1. You Wear Your Lanyard Around Your Neck

At least until we were told only freshman do it…I swear the bookstore has made at least $5,000 in lanyard sales.

2. You Have to Plan Out Meals

Because you will not, under any circumstances sit alone. Ever. Every meal requires a group message to coordinate when everyone is going and at what time. It actually makes me miss having a scheduled lunch period at school.

3. You Have to Spend 5 Minutes Calculating When You Go to Fishbowl, Cardinal or Cyber Whether to Use A Meal Swipe or Dining Dollars

How much is dinner worth? What do you mean I can’t swipe more than one meal swipe in a meal period? If I get a wrap and a drink should I use a meal swipe? Who knew getting food in college would require so much work.

4. That Awkward Moment When You Ask a Passerby Where Something Is and They Say That They're A Freshman Too

Nothing, and I mean nothing is more embarrassing. Sorry I don’t know my whole class… And this campus is pretty small so how do people at huge schools find their way around??

5. You Post a Picture of Your Room on Social Media

I swear move-in day my whole Instagram and Twitter feed was room pictures. It's nice to know I’m not the only one breaking the fire code.

6. You're Terrified of the Fisher 50

EVERYONE has warned you about it. Everyone. And maybe they aren’t wrong with milkshakes from Fishbowl, daily ice cream in Ward-Haffey and Breakfast for Dinner in Murphy. Cue the daily gym trips and salad bar voyages!

7. You're Either Kicked Out or Not Let Into Parties

“Freshman go home!”, or “Sorry no freshman allowed” are common phrases when you’re just trying to go out. Do the upperclassmen not remember that they were Freshman once too?

8. Every Conversation Starts With "So What's Your Major?"

You don’t know what else to say so you just ask name, hometown, and major. For every person. Even though you’ll forget it before the next time you see them. And with these conversations you’ll realize…

9. You've Already Met at Least 20 Nursing Majors

I swear 60 percent of the freshman class is Nursing majors. Then 20 percent is Pharmacy, 10 percent is Bio Pre-Med, and 10 percent is everything else. If your roommate isn’t a Nursing major, I can almost guarantee your suitemate or your neighbor is.

10. All Upperclassmen Somehow Know You're a Freshman Even if You Haven't Told Them

“Oh you’re a freshman right?”. …Uh what?? I’m not even wearing a lanyard… The amount of time the freshman class has been told we look like babies is unreal.

11. The GroupMe Blows Up Your Phone

Thus why a third of the group have left it. People only talk in it to promote things or talk about parties.

Don't tell but I have it muted.

12. Half the People You Meet You Were Already Friends With Them on Facebook or Followed on Instagram Before You Came Here

Thanks Fisher Class of 2020 Facebook Group for all these followers! Then there’s the awkward moment when you don’t know whether to tell someone you follow them on Instagram…

13. Your Favorite Part of the Week is the Off Campus Shuttles

We can’t have cars so how else are we going to get there?! The shuttle vans are packed full of people trying to get their weekly Pittsford Plaza or Wegmans fix.

14. Either Your Cover Photo On Facebook or Your Header on Twitter is the Class of 2020 Class Photo

If our class photo isn’t your cover photo or your header, do you even go here?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
