Now That Syllabus Week Is Over

​Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad I'm not a fool.

Now That Syllabus Week Is Over
Nypdecider

Syllabus week has finally come to an end; a sad, sad, depressing end. And it's time to actually do work and get it together, which is proving to be a lot harder than most of us initially thought. Not only are we kicking ourselves, we're also internally weeping, ready to drop every class and curl up into the fetal position. Oh yes, we are a mess of emotions. Throughout this whole process, a few realizations are starting to dawn on us:

Oh no, I actually have to do homework.

Wait, I have to work. Period.

I have to read how many pages tonight?

I don't know what's going on.

Should I buy the textbooks for this class, or can I just wing it for the whole semester?

I wish weekends were three days long.

Please, tell me I don't have a test on this.

What is happening?

What was I thinking when I originally signed up for this class?

Send help.

I need more time to figure this out.

Did I throw the syllabus away?

There's no way I can write that many papers in a week.

You want me to do what for every class?

Are temper tantrums still acceptable?

Where are the add/drop forms?


So. Much. Work.

Does anyone wanna do this reading for me? For the rest of the semester?

Can I just have an A for showing up?

I think I need a hug.


While we internally panic and have a slight mental breakdown, we know that we will eventually get through this—one homework assignment at a time. But in the meantime, temper tantrums and shoving your face with pizza and Doritos are highly encouraged.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
