You might be a freshman if...

Well, after pondering for weeks, I figured it is time to get this thing up. It won't be long, but hopefully it will make you smile a little bit. All of these are for real things that have happened to me or someone that I know or have heard talking on campus.

Here are my top 25 "You might be a freshman if..."

1. You might be a freshman if, your dad wants to FaceTime all of your dates because he can't be there in person to give them a bullet with their name on it.

2.You might be a freshman if, your mom still drops you off at school.

3. You might be a freshman if, you think becoming a True Aggie means that you have finally registered for classes.

4.You might be a freshman if, the top visited pages on your laptop are Netflix, Facebook, and Canvas/Blackboard.

5. You might be a freshman if, your 7:30 class is overruled by your bed almost once a week.

6.You might be a freshman if, you refuse to call your apartment home and instead call it your "temporary situation"

7. You might be a freshman if, you slide down the apartment's stairs on a mattress.

8. You might be a freshman if, you have sat inside the dryer in the laundromat.

9.You might be a freshman if, you eat peanutbutter on a tortilla regularly and call it a meal.

10.You might be a freshman if, you're so desperate for food and money that you're willing to eat a live goldfish in exchange for a dollar and the promise of brownies.

11.You might be a freshman if, after you eat that fish you tell your dad that you had sushi for dinner and when he asks how it was you tell him it was so fresh it was practically still swimming but it could have used some wasabi and soy sauce.

12.You might be a freshman if, you ride a razr scooter to all of your classes

13.You might be a freshman if, you lock yourself out of your apartment at least once a month and you have learned to just leave the downstairs windows unlocked because it will happen again soon.

14. You might be a freshman if, you have ever been asked on a date and 3 weeks later the guy that asked you out is engaged and then you realize that you have to accept the fact that it won't be the last time that happens.

15.You might be a freshman if, you have complained about Creative Arts this year.

16. You might be a freshman if you decide to go to lunch with your friends instead of your Mythology final which you failed to study for

17. You might be a freshman if you dye your hair blonde for the first and last time.

18. You might be a freshman if you have a full blown water fight in your apartment.

19.You might be a freshman if you kiss more guys in one year than you can count on your hand... practice makes perfect. (don't worry mom that wasn't me, I promise ;))

20.You might be a freshman if you tape balloons to doors with cheesy jokes on them and it gives you a major adrenaline rush.

21. You might be a freshman if your idea of a night out is dressing up like a dinosaur and shooting foam arrows at your friends.

22.You might be a freshman if you find yourself performing ring checks when you swore you'd never do it.

23. You might be a freshman if you play "your team, my team" from your kitchen window.

24. You might be a freshman if you go to become an Ultimate Aggie, a policeman pulls up and your best idea is to jump into the bushes... that cop ain't never gonna find you in there.

25. You might be a freshman if you have cried, laughed , loved, adventured, etc. and now as the year is coming to an end, the laughing and crying happens more frequently.  You know you'll miss the adventuring and you've made friends that will last until the bitter end.

Thanks to everyone that made my freshman year of college unforgettable. There's not one thing that I would change. None of the heartbreak or crying, none of the nights we stayed up until 3 am laughing and partying, the fort we made, the camping trip in the rain, the night I ate the goldfish, the amazing YSA ward I was a part of, my decision to serve a mission, and every single other adventure we had. As we all go our separate ways I hope that I have left at least one good memory with you.

If you're reading this I hope that you did have or will have a freshman year of college that was as good as mine. Adios my friends and good luck in all your life's adventures.
