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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
