We've all been there, a freshman in college, new to our surroundings, scared, confused, and alone. What we didn't know was that it was completely obvious to pick us out in a crowd. From the clothes we were wearing, to the look on our face, everything about us screamed, "freshman." You might as well have tattooed "I'm a freshman," on our foreheads. Here are just a few ways you can spot a college freshman.

1. They're probably lost.

You're fresh out of high school, you just moved to a new town, away from mommy, daddy, and everything you know. You'd probably wander around campus like lost puppy, too. This will probably last well into the first semester. Someone get these kids a map.

2. They're always confused.

Change is never easy, especially when you don't have your parents there to guide you through it. You're constantly wondering things like "Should I eat before or after class?" "What's the best way to walk across campus?" And, "are these underwear clean?" Who knows, really? If someone on campus looks confused, they're probably a freshman. Just tell them to go with the flow and chill.

3. Overdressed to impress.

The first week of classes freshman actually dress like they're going to prom or something. Girls get fancy, and boys go all out. Homeboy, you are not Justin Timberlake, you do not need that suit and tie. If you see someone that's dressed to the nines, you'll know.

4. They always sit in the front row.

Are you trying to make a good first impression on the professor or do you just know that upperclassmen will fill up the back rows? Either way, freshman always sit in the front row regardless of the type of student that they are.

5. They carry their schedule.

Spotted: a you Jenny Humphrey walking across campus with a paper practically glued to her face. Yeah, she's a freshman. They must carry their schedules everywhere they go. It's like a security blanket. If they have their schedule, they have everything.
