No matter where you go to school, chances are you know what Sylly Week is and look forward to it each semester. With the hype at an all-time high, and everyone excited about finally being back at school, this calls for arguably some of the most insane nights of the entire semester. Here are some of the things only UW students know to be true about surviving Sylly Week...
1. How to dress for both the theme AND the weather.
Recommended for you
Syllabus Week means themed parties every night. After some practice, Wisco students know exactly how to dress as a school girl while still avoiding frostbite.
2. That it's absolutely necessary to reorganize your schedule based on walking-distance.
While trekking up Bascom twice a day may have seeed doable in theory, Sylly Week gives students the ability to switch around whichever classes are simply too far. Trust me, it's always worth avoiding that long, cold walk to the Psych building.
3. How to make it to your 8 AM when the sidewalks are iced over.
There's nothing like waking up and realizing you have to survive the icy walk to class--while still hungover, of course. UW students know firsthand that snow boots really do complete every outfit.
4. The only acceptable times to hit up Fresh Market and The Bookstore.
With everyone re-stocking on groceries and textbooks at the same places, the lines can be terrible. Savvy UW students know to always get Fresh delivered and to pre-order books online first!
5. The importance of coffee.
Even without the workload, going out each night and still making it to every class means one thing: exhaustion. UW students understand the power of a trip (or three) to Starbucks or Colectivo.
6. The perfect back-to-school Insta.
While the below-freezing temperatures can be a hassle, they do allow for some pretty cool views. If you didn't post a picture on frozen Lake Mendota, are you really back at school?
All in all, it's safe to say no one does Sylly Week like us Badgers do!
