6 Things all Freshmen are Clueless About

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GWU chapter.

For freshmen, college is a totally new, out of the ordinary, fresh (pun intended) experience. You may think that some freshmen and upperclassmen have it all together. Ugh, as if! Everyone is at least a little clueless about, well, everything at some point.

1. Fashion

Picking out outfits can sometimes be the most grueling task of the day! You want to look cute and make an impression, but you don’t want your outfit choice to draw attention–in a negative way that is.

2. Classes

Whether you are in a 200 person lecture class, dominated mostly by upperclassmen, or an intimate class where your professor can call on you at any given second, classes can be stressful and difficult. It’s completely normal to feel like you’re lost, drowning, crumbling, etc.

3. Who to befriend

Trying to figure out who to sit next to in class or the dining hall is the worst. You don’t want people to be judging you and you don’t want to end up sitting next to that weird guy. Just breathe. College isn’t Mean Girls! It will all be okay.

4. Boys

Don’t think that the trouble you had with high schools boys will be any more mellow with college boys. Some things never change… Just try not to get too overwhelmed.

5. Creepy Guys

Unforutnatly, there will still be an abundance of creepy guys who you will always seem to run into everywhere. Can you say, fun?

6. Trying to have a clue

All freshmen everywhere try so hard to appear as if they have got it together, but on the inside everyone is on the same page!
