Ah, syllabus week. You never really know what to expect. Will you have an easy few days consisting of long nights with friends, or will you be up to your ears in homework after just one class? Thankfully, Shonda Rhimes has prepared us perfectly for any sylly week scenario we may (and probably will) encounter.

1. Waking up on the first day and realizing that break is really over:

2. Walking into a class and seeing your friend:

3. When lunch time rolls around but you're still in a lecture:

4. When an hour-and-a-half class gets out in 30 minutes:

5. Sitting in class thinking about your plans for the night...

6. ...but then the professor assigns hours of homework on the first day:

7. When you find out a class has a +/- grading scale:

8. Promising yourself that this REALLY is your 4.0 semester this time...

9. ...but then listening to your professor going over the semester's assignments and realizing that you're doomed:

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’.

And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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?
