After finishing my first semester at Ohio State University (the greatest place in the world), I’ve realized how much I have embraced the college freshman lifestyle. Although I have not committed all of the sins on this list, I have definitely done my fair share. I’m sure there will be many more “total freshman moves” to come this semester, but it is all a part of the experience, right?

1. Texting people you met at orientation because you don’t know anybody.

2. Wearing a lanyard around your neck with your room key.

3. Traveling in packs.

It’s inevitable.

4. Thinking you will get a 4.0.

5. Wearing your freshman shirt that you got at orientation.

This is basically the same as writing “freshman” on your forehead.

6. Buying a football ticket from an upperclassmen and not realizing that you paid about three times more than it was worth.

7. Clinging to the first people you meet.

Keep searching for “your people”—they will come with time. Most people don’t find their best friend after one week!

8. Signing up for over 100 clubs at the involvement fair.

9. Thinking that you will have a boyfriend or girlfriend within the first semester.

Not gonna lie, lots of people have a bae back home. Cut off the ties, people!

10. Trying to figure out the bus system and ending up on the wrong side of campus.

11. Raving about the dining hall food.

“It is so good. I don’t know how people get tired of this!”

12. Wearing cute clothes to class.

13. Buying full price, new textbooks from the campus bookstore for absurd amounts of money.

Amazon rentals is where it’s at.

14. Downloading the campus map and realizing it is your most frequently used app.

15. Thinking that a lofted bed is a good idea.

Ladders are only meant for certain types of (coordinated) people.
