Whether you have been intensely watching the Olympics or just skimming through your twitter newsfeed to update yourself, I’m sure you know the real gold medalists of the women’s gymnastics team; Rick and Lynn Raisman. Being the parents of such an amazing athlete cannot be easy especially when the pressure is on. Every parent copes in different ways but the Raisman’s are the most relatable, particularly when it comes to going back to school.
1. Trying to dodge the emails you’re getting left and right from your professors a month before school with the full syllabus.
2. When you see the size of your room and then look at all of the stuff you packed to bring.
I mean, maybe it can all squeeze in there.
3. Going through the syllabus and seeing the final isn't cumulative.
4. When it's the first day of class and your professor insists on talking the whole three hours.
Yes, please tell me more.
5. When you get your first group assignment and need to claim your best friend before anyone else does.
6. Trying to stay awake in your 8 a.m. class like....
7. When all of your professors decide to assign their exams on the same day.
I'm starting to think they have a coalition.
8. When another student asks if the due date of an assignment can be moved and they approve.
9. Then another student challenges your professor on their facts and everything may turn to shambles.
It is the first week of class, can you not.
10. When you get your first exam score back and find out you passed.
I guess this semester won't be all that bad.
11. When it's your last class of the week and your professor says you can go.
Weekend, here I come.
