20 Signs You’re Definitely An Incoming Freshman

Being an incoming freshman is one of the most exciting and stressful parts of being a college student! There are so many emotions and new things to experience. We all go through the same experiences and it’s important to know that you definitely aren’t alone. These are 20 signs any incoming freshman can relate to!

1. You have hundreds of dorm ideas pinned in your Pinterest

And you have no idea how you are going to fit all that decor in such a tiny space

2. Finding your perfect roommate on Facebook suddenly has become your number one priority

Because let’s be real, there aren’t too many people who can handle your craziness

3. You are willing to do ANYTHING to not get assigned a dorm in the West Campus towers.

Over my dead body.

4. You couldn’t stop smiling after getting your full season football tickets

Is this real life?!

5. Being forced to participate in the painful awkwardness of Orientation

Do I really need to become best friends with everyone in this room?

6. Scheduling classes was more stressful than any test you have ever taken

How many credits do I need again?

7. Ultimately ending up with a horrible schedule

How bad can a monday 8AM chem lab possibly be?

8. You are convinced every person is smarter than you

“You’re taking how many honors courses?!”

9. Getting out of your comfort zone is a daily occurrence

Whether it’s trying a new dining hall alone or taking a class you never imagined yourself in, freshmen win when it comes to trying new things.

10. You convince yourself to buy something because it’s “for college!”

You know you’re totally going to need 17 different cute blankets for your room for sure.

11. You want to sign up for just about EVERY club

Most of them are really cool, but trust me a couple is plenty.

12. Winging your foreign language and math placement tests because you have absolutely no clue

They can’t seriously expect you to remember all of those conjugations after two years can they?

13. Getting Intimidated by the sheer number of students on campus

After a while everyone finds their own happy buckeye family.

14. You know you  need to mentally prepare yourself for move-in day

The chaos is real people.
