Now That Syllabus Week Is Over

​Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad I'm not a fool.

Now That Syllabus Week Is Over
Nypdecider

Syllabus week has finally come to an end; a sad, sad, depressing end. And it's time to actually do work and get it together, which is proving to be a lot harder than most of us initially thought. Not only are we kicking ourselves, we're also internally weeping, ready to drop every class and curl up into the fetal position. Oh yes, we are a mess of emotions. Throughout this whole process, a few realizations are starting to dawn on us:

Oh no, I actually have to do homework.

Wait, I have to work. Period.

I have to read how many pages tonight?

I don't know what's going on.

Should I buy the textbooks for this class, or can I just wing it for the whole semester?

I wish weekends were three days long.

Please, tell me I don't have a test on this.

What is happening?

What was I thinking when I originally signed up for this class?

Send help.

I need more time to figure this out.

Did I throw the syllabus away?

There's no way I can write that many papers in a week.

You want me to do what for every class?

Are temper tantrums still acceptable?

Where are the add/drop forms?


So. Much. Work.

Does anyone wanna do this reading for me? For the rest of the semester?

Can I just have an A for showing up?

I think I need a hug.


While we internally panic and have a slight mental breakdown, we know that we will eventually get through this—one homework assignment at a time. But in the meantime, temper tantrums and shoving your face with pizza and Doritos are highly encouraged.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
