Syllabus Week As Told By "The Office"

There is no such thing as too much mental preparation.

Feb 08, 2017

It is finally the end of winter break, and it is time to start the new semester! You cannot contain the joy of seeing your friends again, and being back at your home away from home. New semester, new you. You tell yourself you are going to procrastinate less, eat healthier, get enough sleep, and exercise more. This semester is going to be even better than the last.

1. You have settled in again and it hits you- you actually have to go to class tomorrow morning.

You have to wake up at a disgustingly early time... so like 8 a.m... it's time to mentally prepare.

2. You get yourself to class on time, and you are praying that your professor does not keep you for the entire class time.

It's 10 minutes into class and your professor is already done going over the syllabus. And wait what... they're ALREADY TEACHING YOU REAL THINGS???

This is where it all starts to go downhill.

3. It is the third day of the semester and you are already drowning in work.

4. The only thing (barely) getting you through is the thought of first weekend getting closer and closer.

5. The classes you thought were going to be interesting and on the easier side have taught you that there is actually probably no such thing in college.

6. Your hopes of procrastinating less have already gone down the drain.

7. And you can totally forget about the whole "eating healthier" thing when stress eating comes into play.

8. You walk out of your last class on Friday and you cannot wait for the nap you are going to take when you get back to your dorm (because yes, you're already sleep deprived).

The week wasn't terrible. But it definitely hurt your soul a significant amount.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
