10 Things Everyone Thinks About During Syllabus Week!
Giphy

1. *Alarm for my 8 a.m. class* Well I guess it's time to get this over with.

I also end up hitting the snooze button a couple times before I actually get up and go to class.

2. At least this first class should only last 10 minutes!

Two hours later the professor is still going strong. Does this person ever stop?

3. What have I gotten myself into?

When you first look at a syllabus for your class you just sit there and wonder what in the world have I done? Everyone has this thought, and it is quite common among freshman in college. This is new territory for them, and they will soon realize their lives are different from when they were in high school.

4. Do I really need this class for my major?

Usually the answer is yes, you need the class for your major. When that is the case you will break down in tears like Anne Hathaway here.

5. Looking at syllabus ... Deciding which days you can skip.

Usually the answer is none, but you decide to skip a few days anyway. How bad can it affect my grade anyway? Then when you do skip, trying to avoid the professor is always fun especially on small campuses.

6. Did this professor just give me homework on the first day?

Isn't syllabus week about relaxing and getting back into the swing of school? Well it seems some professors did not get the memo.

7. I can binge watch Netflix without any regrets!

This is not true. There will always be a little regret when you spend hours inside watching Netflix instead of being out with friends. Especially when you have professors who assign homework the first day of class.

8. Why did I sign up for a night class on Monday?

This is when you begin to contemplate other means of money. Maybe stripping wouldn't be too bad? Who am I kidding, they wouldn't be able to handle me as a stripper!

9. Well maybe I should actually take a look at the syllabi and see what these classes are about ...

This is when you decide if you should drop the class and put it off until senior year! If you are like me though, you want to get all of your hard classes out of the way so you can have fun senior year!

10. Well, syllabus week was fun, but now it is time to actually learn!

I know, I know. Learning is never fun, but is a necessary evil. Just think about the future and all the money you will supposedly make with your job after college.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
