After a fun, eventful, and interesting syllabus week has come and gone, it is time to focus on the books, get acclimated to a new schedule and cry about the semester to come.

If your school is anything like Georgia Southern, you know that syllabus week is the best week out of the semester besides homecoming. This is the week where you reconnect with friends, go out, and mainly just have fun before the professors start cracking down on the really hard college assignments.

Now that syllabus week is gone though, I woke up with an overwhelming sadness. The sadness came from the realization that summer is officially over and it's time to crack open the $300 textbooks I just bought for classes where the professor "requires" it.

If you weren't busy this week, now you are, as every professor you have assigns homework, which is all due on the same day. And as I laid in bed this morning, my exact thoughts were "does syllabus week really have to end? Let me get up so I can check my Lilly Pulitzer planner for the 1,000 tasks I have to do for my various classes. Never mind, can I just go back to sleep?" Then, when I did eventually get up to start those tasks, I decided it would be a good idea to take a break every 5 minutes because they were too "tiring."

Which then led to me being stuck doing homework until 10:30. So this folks, is why you should definitely not procrastinate during syllabus week, and get a start on your life for the rest of the semester because bombarding one whole day for homework before the school year officially begins is no fun.

I realize now that this "back to school blues" is inevitable and will always happen at the end of every syllabus week and there is certainly no way around it, because who wants to miss out on all of the parties your favorite fraternities are throwing? Not me.
