The First Week of Spring Semester, As Told By House

Let's be honest; we're all feeling a little bit like Greg House right now.

The First Week of Spring Semester, As Told By House
The House MD Late Blog

We all know that feeling; coming back after winter break, dragging along, full of candy and cookies, used to staying up until early hours and sleeping until noon. It's rough, getting back into the swing of the semester. Around this time, I think we can all relate to Dr. House - grumpy, in pain, and sarcastic AF. Here's how you know precious winter break been's banished and you're having serious side effects.

1. Getting up on the first day of class:

Seriously, the struggle is real. Especially when you hit the snooze button too many times and can't go for coffee before class. Sometimes the balance lies between putting on nice pants or sleeping nine more minutes and going to class in last night's leggings.


2. When your professor gives you an assignment on syllabus day:

There's a special sect of hell for professors who give assignments on syllabus day. SYLLABUS DAY IS RESERVED FOR ICEBREAKERS AND 15 MINUTES OF CLASS, DAMNIT.


3. When none of your friends are in any of your classes:

The first week is the hardest. But then we realize we'll make it through.


4. When ALL of your professors give assignments on syllabus day:

Sometimes there's just too much bad in the world to focus on the good.


5. When your professors feel the need to share their entire life story on the first day of class:

Lady, I get it. You've been married twice and you're really proud of your houseboat. Now teach me something or let me go.


6. When that girl comes to class dressed to the nines:

You say it's for you, but we all know you're looking to impress the blonde guy three rows back, two seats over, with the orange Patagonia jacket and the pretentious Yeti cup with a Sigma Chi sticker on it.


7. When the professor says, "this class will be one of the hardest you ever take."

They say it, but rarely ever do they actually mean it. I'm pretty sure they're obligated by contract to say this so you'll actually put some effort into it.

8. When the teacher asks everyone to introduce themselves for the thirtieth time today:

I'm pretty sure I dislocated my neck from rolling my eyes too hard.

9. When your professor tries to relate some lame story about their life to the content:

If we're being honest, does anyone care?

10. When you're done for the day and realize this semester is going to be just like the last:

Let's hope that this doesn't set a precedent for the rest of the class.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
