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?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
