Ah, it's that time of the year again. It's syllabus week back at school, and there's the perfect mix of happiness and breakdown as you reunite with your friends again but then realize the workload you have ahead of you.
Here are just some of the things you experience during syllabus week while returning to college, with a little inspiration from the classic movie "Mean Girls":
Reuniting with your roomies after a long time apart.
Reminiscing your break with your friends and talking about how awful it was to go that long without seeing them.
Realizing your intense workload that you have to look forward to for the next 4 months.
... and drowning in your misery.
Having so much free time, you even have time to go try to get involved in a club or intramural sport
And to go out like every weeknight with your friends all sylly week.
Then looking back on your decisions and asking yourself, "Why the hell did I do that?"
Wanting to eat your pre-stress away when you think about the one too many classes you signed up for with a professor you know is going to suck.
...
Remembering you told yourself you would actually eat healthy this semester.
...and caving in much earlier than you anticipated.
Telling yourself you're gonna take a night off and stay in to study, but your friends convincing you to come out with them
Listening to all those over-achievers in class you just know will bother you all semester
Picking a random date to answer "when are mid-terms?" when a cute boy asks you "when are mid-terms?"
When Syllabus Week is over and professors actually start assigning things
And you start to realize this will be going on for the rest of the semester
Keeping things in perspective and telling yourself...
But deep down you're like
Happy Syllabus Week and new semester, everyone.
