11 Things That Go Through Every Girl's Mind During Syllabus Week
Kayla Bishop

The first full week of a new semester of classes is what we call "syllabus week" and it is supposed to be the easiest week of the semester. During this week, we usually party while also going to every single one of our classes because they are the easiest they will ever be, at least we think. Lately, though, I have been thinking more and more during every new syllabus week I have encountered and it is not in a good way.

1. It isn't even syllabus week anymore

Syllabus week is supposed to be easy, right? Well, the last three semesters during syllabus week I have gotten homework every time! This syllabus week my teacher started teaching ON THE FIRST DAY! How dare he not care about us students, give us break professor. I swear, each semester gets worse.

2. I probably won't see 75% of you next week

When I was walking on campus this past week I swear I saw more people on the quad then ever before and I have been here for three years! I guarantee you I will not see a majority of those people on campus next week, including myself (I'm just kidding mom).

3. I'm screwed

I thought I picked these classes thinking they were easy but boy was I wrong. I already have three chapters, two papers and seven article summaries due on Monday!

4. Who is the smartest looking person in this class so I can become their friend

Everyone always wonders who the smartest person in their classes is at some point, right? I mean I know when I walk into a new class I always wish that I could become friends or study partners with someone who actually understand what was being taught.

5. The amount of work I already have is ridiculous

Like I said, by Monday I have a whole semesters load of work already due and I have not even had time to breathe yet.

6. I'm so unorganized

Even though I have a desk calendar in my room and a planner in my backpack with everything I could ever possibly need on them, I still fell like I am ALWAYS missing an assignment or an announcement I need to know about and this is NOT a good way to start my semester.

7. I'm dropping out

It is official, I am dropping out. This shit is too hard already, there is no way I am gunna make it another 13 weeks. Who is with me?

8. Maybe I will meet my future husband this semester

I know I am not the only girl or guy who scopes out their new classes for the hottest person there. I always carefully look around to see if I notice anyone cute because hey, you could meet your future spouse in there!I

9. RateMyProfessor was totally wrong about this class

RateMyProfessor is supposed to be 100% accurate, at least I thought so. It said that my teacher was supposed to be laid back, funny and would give out study guides before each test with a 5-star rating but he just showed me that all of that was a lie but somehow I still seem to revert myself back to that every semester.

10. I hope some of my classes don't require me to actually go to them

College classes that I actually have to go to? Bullshit.

11. Is it break yet?

I know we just started, but what day are we off for break because I am already sick of this stuff!

As a college student who has been through "Syllabus week" more than a few times, I know that there are a lot of things that run through our minds that are quite similar. Look for a study buddy, or that cute guy in your class and try to give your professor the benefit of the doubt sometimes because I am sure they do not want to be there just as much as you do! Also, if you do not understand what is going on already, GO TO CLASS. I promise you, if you don't go it won't help. Syllabus week might not be syllabus week anymore, but just think that every day you go to class you are one day closer to going on break!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
