10 Things All College Students Know About Syllabus Week

It's the holiday that comes twice a year: syllabus week! Although there's technically classes, every college kid knows that syllabus week's only purpose is to reunite with your friends and go out. Here are 10 things you'll get if you do syllabus week right.

1. There will be at least 50 Instagram pictures captioned captioned "get sylly" or "syllaBOOZE week."

If you don't 'gram it did it even happen?

2. You NEED to go out (somehow my parents have never understood this concept), but you still have class.

The only thing that makes waking up for your O-Chem 8 a.m. difficult is the fact that you got home at 4 a.m.

3. Seeing your friends is like seeing a long-lost sibling.

So what if it's only been four weeks and you texted/Facetimed/snapped them the whole time. It was a long break!

4. Some of your teachers will have the audacity to assign you homework.

Do they not know what syllabus week means means?! You only go over the syllabus! (And there's a special circle of Hell reserved for teachers who assign homework before the first day.)

5. There's extra pressure to look good.

People haven't seen you in a whole month! You need to remind them how cute you are. (Especially because after this week all bets are off. Back to ~homeless chic~.)

6. New semester resolutions are made to be broken.

The only thing more unrealistic than your New Year's resolution to go to the gym everyday and not order 3 a.m. pizza is your new semester resolution to not skip classes.

7. For kids returning from being abroad, syllabus week is like a week-long welcome party.

A semester is a long time to be away! You need to make sure nobody forgot about you (aka act like you're Christ resurrected to party)!!

8. The Rec is packed at all times of the day.

Some people are still barely clinging to their New Year's resolution to get fit. So good luck getting a treadmill or weights.

9. Getting used to having to cook/clean/do laundry/function all by yourself again is torture.

As much as your parents probably drove you crazy over break, don't even lie and say you haven't already missed your mom catering to your every need. (And her too! Don't worry mom I don't just miss your maid-like tendencies.)

10. There is nothing better than being reunited with your #squad.

'Nuff said.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
