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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
