Happy syllabus week!

Syllabus Week As Told By Winston Bishop
Hidden Remote

Ah -- the week we all dread, yet love, at the same time. Syllabus week, otherwise known as the first week of classes, is a time to get back into the groove of going to classes and having a routine after weeks of laying in bed until noon. Syllabus week is known for the awkward ice breakers, the sighs after hearing class expectations, and last but certainly not least, receiving the syllabus for all of your classes. Here are just some thoughts that went through my mind last week during syllabus week.

That feeling when your alarm clock goes off at 8 a.m. for the first time in weeks...

And then you get to class only for the teacher to ramble on about the class description and expectations for 20 minutes..

Oh but it gets better because then it's time for the dreaded "Say your name, year, hometown and a fun fact about yourself" so you sit there contemplating if there is anything slightly interesting that has ever happened to you

Then at the end of the class, your professor assigns an entire chapter of reading plus questions to answer...

After the end of your classes you go back to your room and kind of just feel a little dead inside..

Following your short mental breakdown, you realize that maybe you should actually do your assignments and get supplies, even though you still have no idea what is happening in the class

As the night goes on and you look at Snapchat you see that it seems as though just about everyone is out partying on a Monday night because syllabus week

And you're sitting in bed trying to figure out what you're doing with your life and why you thought it would be a good idea to take these classes...

Finally, after a long week, you are finally done with classes and get to enjoy your weekend!



Hope everyone survived their first week back and had a great relaxing weekend!

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.
