1. You update ALL of your Social Media bio's to "TC Freshman" or "TC Commit" before getting accepted.
Or you'll throw in your expected graduation date before even graduating high school...2. "Take a picture of me under the arch!"
Whether it's ARD or the first day of school, TC freshman can be spotted posing under the historical Tusculum Arch for a new Insta photo, probably captioned "Go Pioneers!"3. Katherine Hall Lobby
Most freshmen are housed in Katherine Hall. This is where you meet your closest friends and always have someone sitting in the lobby to open the door when you forget your ID. Nowhere to watch the game? Go down to the lobby. Tired of sitting in your room? Go down to the lobby. Have no friends? GO TO THE LOBBY.4. Freshman Orientation
Don't be the freshman that doesn't show up to orientation... It's embarrassing being the only sophomore retaking the class.5. You wear your lanyard and ID around your neck... EVERYWHERE YOU GO
I think this one is self explanatory...
6. You spend over $200 at the book store... but not on books
Whether it’s your newly issued practice gear or the shirts you “HAD TO BUY” at ARD, you HAVE to sport them for the entire first semester... And cover your car in TC decals (because why not?)
7. "What's the Valley?"
...
8. You actually memorize your mailbox combo
You'll soon learn that your ID comes in handy for more than just Perk Points and Caf Swipes
9. "Wanna go to the caf?"
Because you’d rather starve than be seen alone in the cafeteria.
10. FIRE ALARMS
Final exams tomorrow? Expect at least 10. It's -5 degrees out and snowing? 20.
11. "I feel like everyone here plays a sport."
Welcome to Tusculum, where the football team is 90% of the school’s population.
