"What's your major?!"

1. Your mom def took a pic of you in front of your dorm, and by some fountain, and then actually IN your dorm room...

2. ...and then next to your school's statue...

5. You Facebook-stalked your entire class rosters.

You had a VERY hard stance on their choice of prom dress.

16. You did the LITERAL 👏 MOST 👏 in class, whether it was color-coordinating your highlighters for studying or actually reading all your reading assignments.

17. You went to a club fair and registered for ALL OF THEM. (And you'll still get emails from the scuba diving club years later.)

At least, we did.

19. You were afraid of any and all seniors. No question.

20. Unless one flirted with you. Then you were all about them.
