A new semester means new challenges, a new schedule and new professors. A new semester does bring excitement, but it’s not all fun and games. After syllabus week wraps up, the start of a new semester can pretty brutal. Luckily, Chanel Oberlin is fluent in brutalities.

1. When you actually show up to class prepared and the person next to you couldn't even be bothered to bring a pencil.

You remembered your Beats headphones but you forgot a writing utensil?

2. That first time your brand new class friend texts you to bring their clicker to class.

I mean, you can't let people use you.

3. The few times you accidentally walk into the wrong classroom, only to be greeted by a room full of doe-eyed freshmen.

Tragic. Just tragic.

4. When you realize that your teacher doesn't use the online grade book on Moodle.

Yeah, good luck calculating your own grades.

5. When you discover that you have to spend that awkward gap in between your classes in the Student Union.

Anyone would hate to be caught dead there.

6. When your friends start raving about how nice it is to have online classes, and you can't share their joy.

But seriously, how in the world did they even find the online classes?

7. When you have to befriend a new barista at the local campus Starbucks. Don't they know that you're the regular?

Where the heck did friendly Frank go?!

8. Your pesky classmates decide that instead of taking their own notes or better yet, finding some old ones on Noteswap, they will ask you for your notes.

What do I look like, a charity?

9. One of your new professors has a "no technology" rule, which could easily be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

How are you supposed to learn if you can't simultaneously peruse Twitter?

10. You sit down in class and have to pretend not to hear the guy and girl in front of you flirting.

What is this, high school?

11. You have to bear through those beginning of the semester class presentations that you have heard six times already.

Nothing like a little bit of repetition!
