11 Thoughts Students Have During Syllabus Week
Tumblr

The first week back at school is without a doubt one of the hardest adjustments after a long relaxing summer. With this adjustment comes a lot of stress, freaking out, cramming and wishing you were sitting poolside under the sun. Our empty summer minds are now full of hundreds of new projects, papers, exam materials etc., and it could quite literally make you feel a bit crazy at first. Syllabus week shows you just how much stuff your professor is going to cram into this semester and that alone is enough to stress you out for the rest of the year.

1. "Would my parents kill me if I drop out right now?"

2. "Maybe I should just eat my sorrows away."

3. "I hope I find someone as crazy as me in one of my classes."

4. "Please tell this student to stop asking the professor so many syllabi questions so I can go home and nap. It changes constantly anyway."

5. "Wait, I thought this professor wouldn't make us reintroduce ourselves to the whole class this semester."

6. "Hey, I was in a class with them last semester! They should recognize–nope."

7. "Why is everyone asking me questions about the syllabus?!"

8. "Okay it is two minutes past the end of class, this is ridiculous."

9. "How could this much work possibly fit into that time slot??"

10. "So, by four to five pages, he means four pages and a word on the fifth."

11. "Maybe I'll be okay. You know, after a lot of tears."

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.
