10 Thoughts College Students Have During Syllabus Week
forbes

Syllabus week is one of the best weeks of the semester for most students besides of course spring break or any break for that matter. Some professors, however, don't realize that it's the one week they should not be lecturing.

1. I have no idea where any of my classes are.

Every time syllabus week rolls around you can find me looking at a campus map trying to match which building goes to the abbreviation.

2. What was I thinking taking 8 am's? I need to drop, I'll never make it.

This is a legitimate problem. I haven't woken up early since high school and you can bet I won't start now.

3. Why did the professor just lecture for our whole class time?

"Okay here's the syllabus, now open your textbooks we're jumping right into things." Sorry, did I hear you right?

4. We already went over the syllabus. Let us go already.

Syllabus week. Syllabus: keyword. Why am I not out yet?

5. Can I pass this class without buying the textbook?

Ask anyone who's taken the class. Saving a couple hundred could save your life.

6. Why am I already assigned a paper, 3 quizzes, an exam and a project?

This pretty much sums up how I feel right now.

7. It's the one week I know for sure I can go out every night and not have to worry about responsibilities.

Need I say more?

8. I'm not in the mindset to do school yet.

When is anyone really in the mindset to do school?

9. Can I drop out yet?

I think I ask myself this question at least 12 times a day.

10. Please skip the icebreaker on our first class, that's always the most awkward part.

"Okay so state your name, what year you are and one fun fact about you." Can we not?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
