Syllabus Week

As told by The Office

Syllabus Week

Syllabus week is upon us. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the time to recover from last semesters mistakes; a time where there is so much hope. Here is why syllabus week is the best week of the year, as told by The Office.

1. 5 minute classes.

Your professor isn't all that excited about the start of the new semester either. The syllabus gets passed out and then you are sent on your way.

2. Lecture halls with friends.

The only way to get through a 90 minute lecture on plants is with a good group of friends. If you don't have any in your class, add/drop week is the time to convince your friends that a class all about plants is what they need in their life.

3. You don't have responsibilities yet.

This is the perfect week to catch up on your Netflix bingeing. No respectable professor assigns actual work this week, or they would have everyone drop immediately. So just sit back, relax, and keep clicking "yes" when Netflix asks if you're still watching.

4. You can go out... every day of the week.

Obviously not speaking from experience...

5. You have the professor that tells you attendance and the textbook are optional.

What more do you need in a professor? This is what dreams are made of, especially if the class is before 12am.

6. You have so much free time.

It's the perfect time to start a new hobby, such as napping for prolonged periods of time or staying at the dining hall until you eat them out of pancakes.

7. But when the week is over...

This was the peak of your semester. Get ready, it only goes down from here.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
