22 Thoughts All College Students Have During Syllabus Week

IMS of India

Ahhhhhhh, syllabus week, probably the most relaxed week of the semester for college students. So we might as well enjoy it!

1. Professor: "Was everyone able to get the books required for this course?"

Excuse me. It is the first day of class. Please cut me and the mailman some slack.

2. Professor: "You can only get this book at the bookstore."

Hahaha! We will see about that sir. I bet Chegg will have my back.

3. Professor: "Please have this assignment done by next class."

Watch yourself, Professor, it's still the add/drop period.

4. Looking over syllabus

Wow, that's a lot of assignments. And we're already going off syllabus. Great.

5. We can make up quizzes??? YES.

6. Tests are only worth how much?

Thank you, God.

7. TESTS ARE WORTH HOW MUCH??

Help me.

8. I wonder how much textbook sellers make...

Maybe I should write textbooks for a living after college. They obviously make a killing.

9. It's the third day of classes and I'm already looking like a hot mess.

10. How have I already been late to class?

Curse these 8 a.m. classes!

11. Wow, it's only been a week and I already know which classes I need to give the most attention to.

Bless professors and their very different teaching styles.

12. When is spring break again?

13. Please tell me I know someone in this class.

Phew. Thank you, Major friends.

14. Dude, did you not see me sit there last class?

That is now my seat for the next three months. Move.

15. Creates group chat with classmates

Thank god we all have each other for support in this class. We are going to need it.

16. How is my planner already filled? Ugh.

17. We have three days off this semester already for this class? WOOHOO.

Thank you for important, busy professors.

18. Well, I might as well start studying for the final now.

19. Please tell me right now if we are actually going to use the textbook or not this semester....please.

20. And....I'm already tired.

21. Oh great, I don't know anyone else in this class. Absolutely have to pay attention now...depending on myself.

22. Give me all the coffee. This semester is going to be a long one.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

No one best represents the struggle like our favorite 90s squad.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
