 12) Don’t be the freshman who’s wardrobe consists of 99% college apparel.

11) Along the same lines, don’t be the freshman who only wears high school apparel.

I don’t care how ‘dope’ your letterman is, it isn’t anymore. Hang that bad boy up somewhere in your closet at home and save it for your future child because they’re the only ones who will actually care.

10) And for the love of god, leave your school-provided lanyard in your backpack.

Nothing screams “Freshmen” like the free lanyard you got with your ID and key attached. It’s like a little leash. Ditch the lanyard and invest in a keychain.
