The 7 Deadly Sins Of Syllabus Week

Syllabus week is the only time during the semester when you have 15 minute classes and get to go out every night and not regret it. After a break that seems like it lasted forever, you and your friends are ready to reconnect with everyone and actually have a social life. Many will agree that the seven days of syllabus week can actually be connected to the seven deadly sins. Let's analyze this.

Day 1: Gluttony

It's the first night you and your friends are back at school, and you are ready to consume as much alcohol as you can handle—or I should say, as much as you think you can handle. Take it easy, especially considering you have six more nights to do the same thing.

Day 2: Wrath

You overdid yourself last night and have an intense hangover. You are extremely angry at yourself because you know you have the entire week ahead of you. Fluids and naps will get you through it!

Day 3: Lust

It's 2:30 a.m. and you can't stop thinking about being with him. His buns are so soft and you can't wait to squeeze them. He's so juicy and tastes just right at any time of the day. He can be found at your local deli and is often known as a bacon, egg, and cheese. (BEC > guys)

Day 4: Sloth

It's the middle of the week, and you have hit a wall. You find yourself in bed unable to get up because you are so drained. You attempt to go to the gym and find yourself sweating alcohol. Take a nap and get ready for the next three nights ahead.

Day 5: Greed

You find yourself scrolling through Instagram and seeing that everybody's outfits have truly been on point. You look in your closet and realize you have nothing to wear for the next two nights. You immediately text your friends begging to borrow one of their outfits because you obviously need to look good for the rest of the week.

Day 6: Pride

You have made it through syllabus week without dying, and you are so proud of yourself. You have one more night, and you are ready to celebrate this amazing achievement.

Day 7: Envy

Syllabus week is sadly over at your school, and you are extremely jealous of the kids who are now starting their syllabus week. It's time for you to actually start doing work. And let's just say that you are definitely not happy about it.

Even though it may seem like all the fun is gone, the semester has just begun. Be sure to make this a good one—you won't regret it!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
