1000 ways that show you are a freshman

<p>27: When you complain about having a “hard” professor because the class average is a B-.</p>

<ol>
<li>You’re secretly amazed by the athletes at the school</li>
<li>You immediately complain about things you know nothing about because of what you read on reviews before you got to the school</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>When you forgot that the exam was today so you start flipping through the pages of your book extra fast trying to understand a semester’s worth of information in 10 minutes. (That actually happened to a kid in my history class.)</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>you have a university lanyard</li>
<li>you die at a party</li>
<li>first semester: chemical engineering
second semester: business</li>
</ol>

<p>"33. first semester: chemical engineering
second semester: business "</p>

<p>This made me LOL xDD</p>

<ol>
<li>“first semester: business
second semester: English”</li>
<li>I guess this isn’t a general one… but I can’t get over this girl who’s like, “This semester isn’t going well–I’ll be happy as long as I get a 2.0 first semester because I can just do better in future semesters. I’ll be happy graduating with a 3.8 or above, because that’s what I got in high school.”</li>
</ol>

<p>lol who actually brags about what they got on their SATIIs and high school GPAs?</p>

<ol>
<li>Doesn’t go to lecture because it’s a “joke class” and ends up doing bad</li>
</ol>

<p>Fall semester: “I’m going to take 19+ units! No big deal! I easily handled six AP courses a year in high school, plus extracurriculars. Besides, these are all 100 level classes, I’ll barely need to study…”</p>

<p>Midway during the fall semester: “These classes are so boring. Maybe if I just skip a few days…”</p>

<p>At the end of the fall semester: “A 2.5?! But why?!”</p>

<p>Or even worse: “Academic probation?!”</p>

<p>I know this isn’t the case with every freshman, but it does happen! Don’t oversimplify your ability to succeed in college, especially using the excuse that you “did well in high school, therefore will find college coursework a breeze…”</p>

<p>At my school most everyone wear/has school apparel, including lanyards. Theres just a lot of school pride… so thats not really a sign of a freshman lol</p>

<ol>
<li>If you are wearing an OSU shirt at Ohio University, not only are you a freshman, but it seems like you came to wrong school by accident</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’d be surprised…</p>

<p>I’m a 3rd year and I still have to look up buildings on my GPS (huge campus and my classes luckily usually keep me in one corner of campus). </p>

<ol>
<li><p>You send out a mass email to the whole class saying “OMG I MISSED THE LECTURE CUZ I WAS SOOOOO HUNGOVER (but it was SOOOO worth it!). Can someone give me the notes please?” (True story and I ended up meeting the kid in class… he disappeared half way through the semester because his parents stopped paying tuition after finding out about all his partying via facebook.)</p></li>
<li><p>You take 6 classes (18 credits) because they’re “just” a few hours a day.</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>You press “Reply All” to emails.</li>
<li>You don’t know how GPA is calculated.</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>lol Freshman who are like, “My GPA will be okay. 3 B’s an an A in PE will be a 3.25.” They never get that PE is 1 credit hour. <_<</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Panicking because you might not have all of your textbooks by the first day of class</p></li>
<li><p>Bragging about how cool your dorm room is</p></li>
<li><p>Not reading the syllabus because surely if it’s important the professor will mention it again, then complaining because you “didn’t know” when major exams were and when papers/projects were due</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Some of these are more specific to my school, but I’m sure they are all can relate! </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Mispronouncing building and street names. i.e. at my school M.A.C. is commonly pronounced “mac” to the unsuspecting freshman.</p></li>
<li><p>Drinking for the first time- being lightweights. “OMG I just had 2 shots and a beer!!! I’m so wastedddddddd”</p></li>
<li><p>Playing “hey mister” by the liquor store because you don’t know anyone who’s 21</p></li>
<li><p>Not knowing the consequences of having alcohol in the dorms (or how easy it is to get away with it - at least at my school). </p></li>
<li><p>Screaming/panicking/conspicuously running away from the cops who just busted the party (instead of calmly acting like nothing is awry and walking out the front door like what upperclassmen do).</p></li>
<li><p>Those that wear excessive makeup/fancy clothes and heels to their 8am class to impress other students (either freshmen or sorority girls, or both)</p></li>
<li><p>Roaming the streets for a party and walk in a rando person’s house that looks “crowded enough.” Or similarly, facebook creeping events for parties “that had enough students attending” to crash it</p></li>
<li><p>Goes home every other weekend (to have mommy do the laundry or similar circumstance)</p></li>
<li><p>Still has a high school sweetheart</p></li>
<li><p>Participant of floorcest or dormcest (exactly what it sounds like)</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Running down the dorm hall with your laynard jingling.</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>Hey now…</p>

<p>I can relate to those who posted comments about students bragging about what they did in high school. I go to a not-so-well-known state school in the middle of nowhere, W.Va., and I cannot even begin to tally how many fellow freshman brag about their High school GPA and SAT’s. I’m beginning to think it’s a defense mechanism stemmed from foundations of inadequacy coupled with a strong inferiority complex.</p>

<p>So with that…</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Running down the dorm room hallway like a drunken maniac while FURIOUSLY BANGING on every single door you’re in front of. </p></li>
<li><p>Showing up to the midterm hung over.</p></li>
<li><p>Almost not being able to make it to said midterm because the cops busted you for underage drinking.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So with that…
I have a 4.5 GPA and 2500 SAT.</p>
