Syllabus week is quite a week. The first week it's the most relaxing week of the semester. Not only are you warming up to your new classes, but you're also mentally preparing yourself for the worst that is yet to come. You see all your friends again, you convince yourself that this is YOUR semester, you party hard. Besides the pros, there are also the cons, the things that are most irritable. Anyway, these are 10 things that definitely happened to you during syllabus week.
1. It took you over 20 minutes to find parking.
Unless you have an 8 am, there is no chance you found parking on your first try. It's really funny how the university keeps adding apartments complexes and dorms but not adding additional parking spots. Interesting.
2. You skimmed your syllabus for public speaking projects/assignments.
You held your breath as you scrolled through the online syllabus and crossed your fingers once you reached the course outline in hopes the words "speech" or "in class presentation" are nowhere to be seen.
3. You walked out of each class a little more stressed each time.
Although you probably walked in with a certain expectation for the class, by the end of the week, your stress level probably doubled and your new expectation for the rest of the semester now has you shaking.
4. You filled in your planner.
You started to get organized. You know, on paper at least. Organized agenda equals organized semester. Or so that's what we tell ourselves each time.
5. You went to the gym for the first time.
The start of the semester means revisiting our old friend the gym. We tell ourselves that this semester will be different and we're going to work out at least 5 times a week. Let me know how you're doing next week.
6. You convinced yourself that 8 AM classes are really not that bad.
Every time! During syllabus week, 8 am classes really don't feel that bad. Although you convince yourself that this time it'll be different, by the second week of the semester, you are going to wish you dropped it during drop/add week.
7. You took a power nap.
You definitely took a nap at some point during syllabus week. Don't be fooled though! In about two weeks, you're gonna ask what a "nap" is.
8. Reunited with your college friends.
Oh how you've missed them. You have your FRIENDS friends and you have your COLLEGE friends. There is no better feeling than reuniting with them after a break.
9. You rolled your eyes every time your professor said it was time for an ice-breaker.
Are you serious? It's bad enough that we're in our 20's and we're still starting classes off going around the room with an ice-breaker. For one, I don't care what Becky's favorite food is and number two, I won't remember Becky's name within the next 48 hours.
10. You went out.
And you went HARD.
