As inter'l student w/ no income for the past 5 years, I have been filing form 8843. This years I pass the Substantial Present Test. What should I file? No income or SSN.

I'm an international student and have been studying and earning scholarships from a foreign source for the past 5.5 years. Therefore, I have been filing form 8843 because I was considered non-resident with no taxable income. This years I competed the 5 calendar years so I pass the "substantial present test" and, I presume, have to file tax as a resident. However, I still have not earned any income (I don't even have SSN). How should I file or should I file?
