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?
