I obviously cannot speak for you because I don't know you or where you grew up, but my extremely strict Catholic school upbringing didn't leave a lot of room for being sexy.

But then I went to college, and it was time to go BUCK WILD.

Bandage skirts? Check. Grinding? Check. Making out with a virtual stranger in the middle of a party? CHECK.

Obviously, the problem here is, none of those things are actually sexy. In fact, they are the antithesis of sexy.

But how was I supposed to know? I was just trying to figure it all out for myself, and all I really had to go by were other freshmen girls who were also failing miserably at their attempts to be sexy.

So, without further ado, here are 40 things college students all mistake for "sexy."

1. Really tight neon "outfits."

2. ABC-themed parties (aka Anything But Clothes).

3. Bandage skirts.

4. Shirts you ripped to be crop tops.

5. Slutty Halloween costumes.

6. Ripping the same amount of shots as your crush.

7. Getting blackout drunk.

8. Sending flirty drunk texts with purposefully jumbled letters.

9. Covering your dorm room walls in “hot” photos of you and your friends from high school.

10. GRINDING.
