We are officially in week 3 of the new semester and I can tell you I have already cried once or twice. It's not uncommon for the first couple of months of a new class to be bombarded with mega assignments. Here is what we have all thought once or twice already this semester told by The Office.

1)

Yep, that about sums up my initial thought. It's the first day of class and the teacher is going over the outlined syllabus while you sit there and contemplate whether or not if you are in the right class or if you even qualified to be in the class. Don't be embarrassed, it happens to everyone. The first couple of days is overwhelming but it gets better.

2)

The first actual homework assignment is due at the end of the week and, as usual, you wait until the last possible second to do it and you have a million questions for your professor. So naturally, the class before it is due you raise your hand to ask what you think is a reasonable question. Yeah, maybe not. Your professor just gives you that looks and answers it with a deep sigh. Moral of the story, ask questions before its due.

3)

We have all shared this lovely reaction when your professor comes into class with that awful grin across their face and they say, "Pop Quiz!" Yeah, no way out of this one, just remember they usually like doing the quiz in the middle of the week or at the end.

4)

You just submitted your first homework assignment and you are in serious doubt mode. Going over each question a thousand times doubting whether you answered correctly. Its normal don't worry. College is a breeding ground for doubt. Just a tip, if you don't know an answer pick C, I heard that works.

5)

Your first test/homework grade comes in and you sit there thinking, "yeah, not bad." This reaction gets rid of that silly doubt-fest you were doing. Just remember, C's get degrees too!

6)

We have all had this thought once or twice when you catch a mistake your professor either said or wrote down and you contemplate whether or not you should correct them. Best bet, go ahead and correct them; it can go two ways, good or bad. Good being they like you more for actually catching the mistake and bad, they now hate you for being a know it all. It's a 50/50 shot.

7)

The first month really opens your eyes to how much you will like your professor. Sometimes you get stuck with a teacher that just really shouldn't be teaching. It's ok to get frustrated just try not to get on their bad side. Just ride out the storm.

8)

It is still pretty early in the semester, but folks just hang in there and you will pass that class!
