14 Signs You're a Freshman and You Can't Read

Ah, yes - freshman year. If you're in college, I know you can relate. I know I can, because I am one!! Freshman year has been a real struggle so far, mostly because I can't read. Who knew that being literate was going to be so important in college? Not me! So for all my fellow illiterate freshmen, here are some signs that you and I can both relate to.

1. This is your first year of college.

Nothing says "freshman!" more than being in your first year of college.

2. You don't know what this sentence says.

Or this one!

3. You graduated high school less than a year ago.

I mean, probably. Unless you took a gap year or something, this is super relatable for all my freshies out there!

4. You don't understand all the hype about books.

Big deal. What's so great about a big stack of paper filled with weird squiggly lines? Seems like a waste of trees to me, if I'm being honest.

5. You take classes.

OMG! Do you have homework, and tests, and professors? ME TOO!

6. You frequently get lost.

It's so unfair. How are you supposed to get around when every sign has freakin WORDS on it? And building names? Don't even get me started.

7. Another term for your situation could be "frosh."

You can call yourself a "frosh" when you want to seem goofy and hip.

8. Textbooks seem like a huge waste of money.

Going off of point (4), you find it ridiculous to spend hundreds of dollars to own some stacks of paper that your professor probably scribbled on.

9. Some people also use "first year" to describe you.

You use this term when you want to seem more sophisticated and British.

10. LOL, what does this even say??

?????????????????

11. You applied to college last year.

That sucked, didn't it? But that's over because if you're a freshman then you're in college! I mean, if you want to transfer you have to do this again, but other than that, I know you can relate.

12. Seriously, how are you still looking at this listicle?

Seems like a waste of time to me.

13. You eat food.

Sure, you ate food before you were a freshman. But you still do it now that you are a freshman, and you may even do it a little differently now than before.

14. How are you in college? You can't read. You can't even read this. I can say anything I want here. You suck. Haha, I really got you there. But really, how are you in college?

LMK.

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.

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.
