I have a f1 visa and I was thinking that I can just apply for it since this is a country of freedom...

no. you must have a basis for permanent residence (family or employment) and then be a permanent resident for 5 years, then you apply for citizenship.
This is a country of freedom, but there are procedures in all free countries. Good luck!
