In the midst of all the chaos of meeting countless new people, of trying not to get lost, of balancing classes and homework with meetings and sleep while also remembering to eat, do laundry, and maybe go for that run, the first few weeks of freshman year are no joke. It can feel like a blurry parade of names and faces with those awkward moments when you make eye contact in the dining hall with someone you are almost (but not entirely) sure is in your 10 a.m. chemistry class (Do I wave? Do I say hello? Do I just ignore them?).

But after a whopping month at this thing called college, I have compiled a list of five questions that all freshmen are probably tired of answering by now (but also guilty of asking).
