You introduce yourself by saying, "Hi! I'm a freshman!"

20 Signs You're A College Freshman

20. You've never gone a week without wearing something that is school apparel, and you have unmatched spirit.

"I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED THAT I'M IN COLLEGE, ALL RIGHT?"

19. But... you still wear clothing from high school, or your Facebook profile picture is still from graduation.

Because, you know, you gotta represent.

18. You wear your lanyard and ID card around your neck.

Seriously, nobody else does that.

17. Your drink of choice is either Burnett's vodka or Natty light, and you can drink an obscene amount of it.


You're broke and you want to get drunk. You're not picking your alcohol based on taste or price.

16. You love to pregame more than you actually love to party.

There's nothing "pre" about presuming when you're a freshman. You pregame so hard that you don't even need to go out after.

15. You dress up for class past the first week.

And you do your hair. And your makeup. Even if the class is at 8 AM.

14. You sit in the front row of class, already have all the books, and have your notebook open before the professor has even said "Good morning!"

"Please like me, please give me an A, please think I'm smart!!!!"

13. You pretend that you're a superhuman when you're getting ready to go out in winter, because six inches of snow and below-freezing temperatures will not stop you from wearing your cute new crop top.


"NO, I'M NOT COLD."

12. You're enthusiastic about the idea of eating a diet of Ramen noodles and pizza.

You also might think you're invincible when it comes to the freshman fifteen.

11. You move in a literal pack.

Because there's safety in numbers.

10. Speaking of which... you're obsessed with your floor mates, and it doesn't matter if you have nothing in common with them.

All of your snapchats say "squad" with pictures of your floor.

9. You start every conversation with, "What's your major?" or "Where are you from?"

It's a pretty safe conversation starter.

8.You get the syllabus, turn to your friend, and say, "This looks a lot harder than high school!"

Because it's not high school.

7. There's no better way to gain a bunch of new followers on social media.


Insta-follow back? Yes, please.

6. You go into the wrong building for class and the wrong floor and the wrong room.

You're lost, we all know it, and it's okay.

5.You're been called a "freshie" or "fresh meat," and you've actually answered to it.

And you take some sort of pride in your nickname.

4. You never say no to any type of social event. Want to get pizza? Want to learn how to do our laundry? Want to study together?


You're ready for anything.

3. Your room is full of WAY too much stuff, or WAY too little.


There's two kinds of people: the "I brought everything that I've ever owned," and the person who has yet to realize that five t-shirts and a pillow probably won't cut it.

2. You've Instagram-ed a picture with the caption "#socollege" at least once.

It's a dead giveaway.

1. You introduce yourself by saying, "Hi! I'm a freshman!"

As if there was any doubt in our minds!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
