Ah, syllabus week. Easily the best (and sometimes worst) week of every college student everywhere. Not only is it one of the easiest weeks because you really only have to show up and say your name and a fun fact about yourself, but it can also be one of the most overwhelming. Papers are getting thrown at you left and right. Deadlines, exams, projects... looking at it all at once can make even the most emotionally stable college student cry. So, welcome to syllabus week my friends, and don't forget to breathe.

1. A few days before the start of classes...

The excitement is finally starting to settle in! And the acceptance of going back to campus and saying goodbye to summer is getting a bit easier. You're eager to get back on campus and see everyone and kick this semester's a**!

2. Day One...

You had a class or two, and you're still feeling great. You're motivated, you're organized. This is going to be your semester!

3. Day Two...

You're still feeling pretty stable. You're feeling capable of handling the workload. You're still feeling good about the semester, and your motivation hasn't run out just yet. You're still relaxed.

4. Day Three...

Is it socially acceptable to wear sweats yet?

5. Day Four...

Deadlines are overwhelming. You've most likely been to each of your classes at least once by now, and you're ready to crawl into a hole and die instead of drowning in all of your textbook debt.

6. Day Five...

Ah, the end of syllabus week. AKA, time for all the stress, deadlines, and anxiety to start kicking in. BUT, good thing is, now you have a few days off. So go get a bottle of wine and nap. You made it through week one... you deserve it.

BUT, I know for a fact you're going to kick this semester's bootay, and even though it may completely and absolutely suck... you're just getting that much closer to graduation. So don't get discouraged, and keep pushing. "You're fineeeeee!"
