11 Truths Of Syllabus Week
Jackie Berchtein

After a long and somewhat boring summer at home, the most exciting part about coming back to college is syllabus week. Not only is this a week with minimal work, but you get to reunite with all of your friends and sorority sisters that you haven't seen in a while. If you're wondering about what the hype really is all about then read this list about the realities of syllabus week.

1. The excitement you get about finally reuniting with all of your friends that you haven't seen in what seems like forever.

2. Unfortunately even though it is supposed to be an "easy week", that 8:30 alarm you've been dreading is now being set.

3. Rate my professor becomes your best friend when you start stalking your professors to see which is a "hard professor" and which is an "easy professor."

4. Finally having to go and buy your text books and see a total of $400 and realizing that you probably won't open any of them.

5. Being excited about the fact that you have a party almost every night and you get to go out with your best friends.

6. After about four parties, you start to wonder if your liver is OK.

7. When you come to class and your professor says " Alright, we are just going to jump right into the material."

8. Then you think "But I thought this is syllabus week?"

9. When you discover that attendance isn't mandatory in some of your classes and wonder whether you'll go to your 9:30 or choose to sleep.

10. You get to reunite with all of the delicious food places that are around.

11. So take advantage of syllabus week but don't forget that after all, mom sent you here for the education.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
