Every year new freshmen flood campuses nationwide, preparing to tackle academic challenges and have the "time of their life." And every year freshmen ask the inevitable questions that have everyone laughing, pointing, and saying "freshman or nah?!" But let's not kid ourselves. We all once were a freshman. And we all once sounded like idiots.
1. Where are you from? What's your major? Where are you living?
They ask this more in one week than they've ever said their own name in their entire lives
2. Wait. I have to actually read and rely on my syllabus?
This ain't high school anymore kiddos! Welcome to big leagues!
3. Can I go to the bathroom?
Again, this ain't high school. You walk out and go like the ”adult” you are.
4. Do you think I'll get judged if I wear sweatpants to class?
Look around children. You are the only people dressed up. Everyone else gave up after their first week of freshman year too.
5. Really? There's unlimited swiping in the dining halls? Like you're not kidding me, right?
Enjoy all of the ice cream, salad bar, and crappy food there is to offer!
6. Where do all the kids party?
As if we'd tell a freshman.
7. Do you think I brought enough clothes so that I don’t have to do laundry all semester?
You probably did but I strongly advise against this tactic.
8. Mom! My clothes are all different colors after washing them. What do I do?
I think you might be SOL. Don’t think Mommy can reverse your inability to wash clothes properly.
9. How do I know what to get for classes? There’s no school supplies list.
Whatever works best for ya, bud.
10. Boys are really allowed in my dorm?! With NO curfew?!
Can you please not get so excited, nobody likes that person.
11. Do you think our RA is going to be chill with us partying?
Oh yes, you and your cool freshman-dorm party ragers, I’m sure they’ll love it!!!
12. So if I don’t have any classes twice a week, I don’t do anything right?
Yeah, we can go with that being the key to success.
13. What do you mean I share a teacher. Oops, I mean professor, with 400 other kids….in a single class?
Live, love, office hours!
14. What happens if I’m sick? Do my parents still have to write a note for me?
Unless you want to get completely shamed, I vote no.
15. When do report cards come out?
L-O-L.
16. Can you really tell I'm a freshman?
Uhh YES.
