Freshmen are getting better and better at blending in, but these are a few things that give them away.

1. Streaks... and I'm not talking Snapchat

If you ever hear people arguing over "Purple streak" or "Gold streak," they are 100% freshmen. The only time there is a division between Purple and Gold is at STRIPES where one group is the "Purple streak" and the other is "Gold streak"; and once that freshman glow is burned out most of us can't even remember which streak we were in. (GOLD STREAK FOR LIFE.)

2. Stomp

Next time you're at a football game and everyone is swaying and singing the alma mater, and the kid next to you stomps after "a tender glow" just know they are a freshman. So when the second verse rolls around and the stadium sings "be forever thine" make sure you stomp on their foot… ya know...just to help them remember for next time.

3. Stilettos

Picture this, it's Saturday night after a big win for the Tigahs© and you're at Reggie's, "Every time We Touch" is playing, napkins are flying, and all of the sudden there is a sharp pain in your foot. When you look down you see that the girl next to you is wearing stilettos, you can only assume she's a freshman cuz

1) Reggie's and

2) Heels?!?

4. Shirts

This one kind of has two categories. The first one is the regular freshman who wears one of two shirts: "Class of 2018" shirt, or LSU freshman orientation shirt. The second category is the freshman pledge who is walking around in their polo eyeing up 5th years like they have a chance.

5. Schedule

If you're ever on campus between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. (probably to go to your Bio professors office hours and beg him to bump your 45 F to a 60 D) you will probably see a bunch of confused bright eyed and bushy tailed freshmen rushing to get to their 8 a.m. half an hour early.

6. Street Crossing

As you're driving down Nicholson Extension, listening to Mr. Brightside, (because it's a bop, am I right?) and the pedestrians crossing the street stop and wait for you to stop and then wave when you do, you know dang well it's a freshman.

7. STTDB

OK, so this one gets me every time, I have only ever heard this one once, but boy, I was laughing so hard, I cried. While I was at a party last semester, I overheard a boy ask the DJ to play, "STTDB," so the DJ wrote down Neck and the kid goes, "No, I said STTDB, not Neck." As soon as the DJ and I made eye contact, I lost it.
