7 Things Every College Student Does During Syllabus Week

After a month off of school, the first week back is nothing but fun for college students. The week known to all as “Syllabus Week” is not only a time to go to all your classes and listen to the teacher talk about the syllabus for an hour, but a time to reunite with your college friends and party every chance you get. Here are some things every college student does during the ever so famous, syllabus week…

Yes, I have an 8am class tomorrow, and yes, I’ll be out tonight.

Knowing your professors will be giving your little to no work to do this week, you take every chance you get to have a fun night out.

Looking at the syllabus, realizing attendance is part of your grade and crying a little inside.

Looks like you won’t be sleeping in for that 8am class any time soon.

Going out and not caring how bad you look for your classes the next day.

Everyone's feeling the same way as you, so you just embrace the top knot bun and sweatpants for your morning classes.

Seeing someone you know in one of your classes and freaking out a little too much.

Nothing's better than walking into a class you're dreading and seeing your bestie across the room.

When your professor tells you there is no book required for the class and you think about all the money you will be saving.

Saving that extra 50 bucks is not only gonna call for a fun night out soon but also less debt later on!

Getting lost on the walk to your first class and awkwardly walking in late.

No matter how long you have been a student at your school, it always seems to be a struggle finding your classes on the first day back.

Wondering how the heck you survived a month away from your school.

It's good to be back.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
