It's the holiday that comes twice a year: syllabus week! Although there's technically classes, every college kid knows that syllabus week's only purpose is to reunite with your friends and go out. Here are 10 things you'll get if you do syllabus week right.
1. There will be at least 50 Instagram pictures captioned captioned "get sylly" or "syllaBOOZE week."
If you don't 'gram it did it even happen?
2. You NEED to go out (somehow my parents have never understood this concept), but you still have class.
The only thing that makes waking up for your O-Chem 8 a.m. difficult is the fact that you got home at 4 a.m.
3. Seeing your friends is like seeing a long-lost sibling.
So what if it's only been four weeks and you texted/Facetimed/snapped them the whole time. It was a long break!
4. Some of your teachers will have the audacity to assign you homework.
Do they not know what syllabus week means means?! You only go over the syllabus! (And there's a special circle of Hell reserved for teachers who assign homework before the first day.)
5. There's extra pressure to look good.
People haven't seen you in a whole month! You need to remind them how cute you are. (Especially because after this week all bets are off. Back to ~homeless chic~.)
6. New semester resolutions are made to be broken.
The only thing more unrealistic than your New Year's resolution to go to the gym everyday and not order 3 a.m. pizza is your new semester resolution to not skip classes.
7. For kids returning from being abroad, syllabus week is like a week-long welcome party.
A semester is a long time to be away! You need to make sure nobody forgot about you (aka act like you're Christ resurrected to party)!!
8. The Rec is packed at all times of the day.
Some people are still barely clinging to their New Year's resolution to get fit. So good luck getting a treadmill or weights.
9. Getting used to having to cook/clean/do laundry/function all by yourself again is torture.
As much as your parents probably drove you crazy over break, don't even lie and say you haven't already missed your mom catering to your every need. (And her too! Don't worry mom I don't just miss your maid-like tendencies.)
10. There is nothing better than being reunited with your #squad.
'Nuff said.
