Syllabus Week as told by The Office
The Odyssey

Whether it's first or second semester, syllabus week lays the foundation of how this semester is going to go. Priority number one for most people is meeting new professors, finding new classrooms, and figuring out which friends are in what class, but it also gives us college students the opportunity to figure out which classes are going to be killer. So here is a tribute to 'those' professors, awkward ice breakers, and little wins that make your day. Happy Syllabus week!

When you see your best friend in the class:

Having that one friend in the class makes a world of difference in helping to keep you sane, plus it eliminates the anxiety of partner projects.

When the professor wants to be friends:

Sometimes professors can be the cool kind of friends, and sometimes they come on a little too strong.

“The last test is not cumulative”:

What a time to be alive!

“Please do not eat in my class”:

The professor is asking his 12pm class not to be distracted by food? What?

“No one gets and A in my class”:

But, like...why?

“Please tell us your name and one thing about yourself":

Nothing beats doing the same ice breakers for every class!

Every professor as they assign 10 chapters for next class:

And so it begins....!

“I’m not here to make your life hell”:

Thank you for being that professor.

“There is no such thing as taking my class just for a credit, you are all here to learn”:

Please, don't make me laugh!!

When there is daily assignments, 6 tests, and 4 papers and attendance is mandatory:

That's life for you.

“Feel free to work together”:

There are no sweeter words.

When your professor grades everything for completion:

A standing ovation to you sir/madame!

Cheers to Syllabus Week!!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
