5 Reasons You Look Like a Freshman

By: Megan Shea

So class has started and you’re off to bigger and better things at university. Your days on top have come to a close and you’re just as lost and confused as you were four years ago. It’s time to make some unavoidable rookie mistakes. Not that I can relate or anything…

1. Wearing your lanyard.

This is one of those alternatives to just writing on your forehead “I’m new here.”

2. Carrying or visibly reading a map on your phone.

You were just trying to get to College Algebra when Siri shamelessly announced to all around you that you’re taking the next left.

3. Looking around confused.

You know what you did- when you just stood there scanning building names and then turned around to walk in the opposite direction that you came from. I’m sure nobody saw it.

4. Going to EVERYTHING.

The upperclassmen were trying to look out for you. They told you the floor meetings didn’t take attendance. You didn’t listen. What if the RA comes shaking down your door? I heard they withhold your degree if you don’t go to the new student convocation.

5. Scheduling an 8 am class on a Monday. Intentionally.
