Syllabus week, a.k.a the best week of the semester is upon us. It's a fresh start and a chance to redeem ourselves from semesters past. It's also a great time to have some fun before the seriousness of the semester sets in. Here are 7 reasons why syllabus week is the best week of the semester.


1. Partying.

Syllabus week is the one week of the semester where you don't have to feel guilty about going out on a school night. It's Wednesday? Yeah, no problem, go for it.

2. You're relaxed.

Syllabus week is the only time where you feel on top of things. You're not behind on any assignments and you haven't quite entered the state of constant procrastination that follows you around the rest of the semester. It's quite wonderful.

3. Leaving class as soon as possible.

During syllabus week, classes consist of taking attendance and going over the syllabus. If you're lucky you get out with plenty of time to go back to bed and watch Netflix.

4. A sense of hope.

Syllabus week has this magical way of making you feel confident that this will be your semester and you are going to do things right this time. You are going to do every assignment with plenty of time to spare, study way in advance for tests, and get that A. It might be a false sense of hope, but it's hope nonetheless.

5. Everyone is excited.

Syllabus week allows you to reunite with your friends you missed desperately while you were away from them over break. You are all excited for the new semester and the adventures it has in store.

6. College seems easy.

What is everyone talking about? College is a breeze. I could go out every night, do no homework, and go to class for half the amount of tie allotted for it every week. I don't know why I ever complained.

7. New everything.

New folders, new pencils, new paper, everything is fresh and you aren't completely sick of everything yet. You aren't tired of your classes or your professors and you feel ready to take on the semester.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
