I just want to put out a little disclaimer at the beginning of this just to say all thoughts and opinions are my own, and yes these events really did happen.

With syllabus week beginning I thought I would take some time and share some thoughts I know we all have while sitting through the first day of class:

1. What the heck is an ACE objective?

2. I wish I was receiving a dollar for every time a professor makes us go around and say our name, major, and where we are from.

3. Did that girl really walk into an English classroom in an English building and ask "Is this English?" when she walked in the door?

4. I should have brought a phone charger.

5. What makes a professor hate their students so much that they do not allow laptops in class?

6. Is the textbook really necessary?

7. I hope the unassigned assigned seating chart isn't official today because I do not want to sit here anymore.

8. Please say there is no midterm.

9. Icebreakers do not break the ice, the silence is still tense.

10. How much longer do we all have to sit here in silence and stare at each other for?

11. Please don't open a powerpoint.

12. Why did he open a powerpoint?

13. Please don't start a lecture.

14. Why did he start a lecture?

15. When is this class gonna end?

16. Is it time for lunch yet?

17. Why is the guy next to me taking notes on the syllabus?

18. He has to be a freshman.

19. What class even is this?

20. Why did that guy just stand up and dab after the professor said this class is easy?
