10 Things I'd Rather Do Than Sit In On Syllabus Week

Can it get any more boring?

10 Things I'd Rather Do Than Sit In On Syllabus Week
Andrew Tanglao

We all know syllabus week can be boring as hell, especially when you have a professor who makes it their life mission to keep you as long as they can while talking about their grading policy. If you’re like me and would rather do any of these 10 things than sit in on syllabus week, then you should hit me up so we can be friends.

1. Get back with nature

If you're looking for a great hiking spot, I recommend Radar Hill or a trail at Strouds Run. Although, Radar Hill is closer to campus for those of us who don't have cars and it has a great view of OU's campus. But Strouds Run has a lake where you can rent kayaks and paddleboards.

2. Figure out a plan to make more money

Any college student who says they don't need money for school fees or weekends out are probably lying to you. We're also probably the best people to find creative ways to make some pocket money. Devoting a week to that is, I think, a more productive way to spend syllabus week.

3. Go to the beach

Now that it's winter time with blizzards and snowfall, I think about the beach and warm weather all the time. Walking to class bundled in multiple layers doesn't sound as fun as drinking mimosas on the beach.

4. Get in shape

Obviously, if I'm going to the beach, it only makes sense to be beach ready. This includes the beach body I've never been able to accomplish due to the unbreakable bond between food and myself.

5. Design your next tattoo

I've been putting this off because I have no money. But designing my next tattoo will probably encourage me to start saving up again instead of impulsively buying pizza.

6. Have a "Madea" movie night with my roommates

You're missing out if you never do this. I'd rather be listening to Madea's life advice than listen to my professor talk about their office hours. I strive to be more like Madea (minus the warrants out for her arrest).

7. Shop online

Speaking of no money...

8. Binge watch YouTube videos

I do this as much as I binge watch Netflix. It's really addicting if you're really into a certain artist or vlogger. A much better way to spend my time than a syllabus quiz if you ask me.

9. Create the perfect playlist to dance to

Whether it's rap, R&B, Disney, hip-hop, jazz, disco, or pop. Have a playlist for times you need to dance. I promise you, you can't be any worse than me.

10. Eat, drink, and be merry

The perfect way to start, spend, or end any day: food, drinks, and happiness.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
