It's finally over. Your first week of classes. This may have been your first, second, third, fourth or even fifth time beginning a new semester of classes. You choose your seat in the front, middle or back of the classroom. You made some friends that you believe will be the perfect study partners. On Friday, you finally get the hang of waking up a little earlier than normal, if you have 7:45 a.m. classes. As a freshman, you finally realize you have free time between classes and Netflix is your new best friend. College is your new home away from home. A place where there are people just like you. The first week may be scary for the Freshman but its still an interesting week for any college student. The following are five thoughts you may have during your first week of classes:
1. I can't handle reading one more syllabus.
Syllabus week is rough. Most professors take the whole hour or so to go over the class expectations, the grading scale, etc. The repetition isn't your favorite time of the school year.
2. How many projects do I have to complete?
Two, three, or maybe six projects. Groan.
3. I miss summer.
Where did the blue sky and arm weather go?
4. What shows on Netflix should I start?
I am sure each and every one of you are signing into your Netflix account at least twice or more a day.
5. Should I join a club or get a job?
Thinking you need more things to do in addition to homework?
We all know the first week of school is tough. But it's finally over.
