mid-freshman-year crisis

A point in a teenager's life where they partake in ridiculous things they will likely later look back on in regret or amusement in an attempt to "find themselves." Usually occurs about halfway through their freshman year of high school and ends before the start of sophomore year. May include: extreme hair changes (cut and/or color), unusual modes of dress, changes in musical taste, or strange new hobbies.

Taylor: "Nah, she's just going through a mid-freshman-year crisis."
