Everybody's favorite week of the semester. "Sylly Week," as defined by Urban Dictionary, is "the first week of class, when syllabi are passed out...a basic waste of time." "You going to class?" "Nah, it's syllabus week... I'll just get the notes online." Here is our favorite week as told by our favorite shows.
1. Moving back in with your friends.
FINALLY. After a long month of going to bed before midnight, you are reunited with your long lost BFFs who are always there to encourage you to do stupid things and order awful Chinese food with you at 3 a.m.
2. ...but then there's seeing the people you DON'T like all over again.
Whether it's your old roommate who you never want to see again or that one person you've never talked to but just can't stand, fate always seems to make your paths cross.
3. Telling yourself this is the semester for that 4.0 GPA.
"Only 20 pages of reading per night... I got this." Two days later: "OK, so with a B in this class I can still get at least a 3.0...I got this."
4. One word: GrubHub.
Pizza. Chinese. Fried mac 'n cheese. COLLEGE FOOD.
5. The first night back.
When it's syllabus week, you don't have to wait till Thursday night to go out. It's Tuesday and it's been a very, very...very long month without your group of crazy best friends who you know will do close to anything with you.
6. Recapping after the first night back...
The first night out after a long month of being home always makes for some interesting stories.
7. When the professor keeps you for longer than five minutes on the first day.
"I'd like to get through the syllabus quick so we can start chapter one today." Excuse me, what?
8. But there's always that one chill professor who lets you go after five minutes.
"Here's the syllabus, you can read it over on your own...see you next week." I confidently speak for all college students when I say, BLESS YOUR SOUL.
9. The first homework assignment.
Perhaps one of the best things about winter break in college is not having any schoolwork to do...but the feeling when you start your first assignment back is nothing short of painful.
10. Ice breakers.
"OK, so tell everyone your name, year, major, and why you're taking the class." As if any of us are going to remember any of this by tomorrow.
11. Alas, the seven glory days come to an end.
Inevitably, we all fall back into our school routines and return to the conclusion that we're all going to fail and should probably drop out and do some sort of illegal activity for a living. (Pretty sure every girl in college has at least once said, "I'm dropping out and becoming a stripper.")
