Many of us have started college classes or will be in the next few weeks.
It's a bittersweet feeling because summer is ending, but you are ready to have another year of college under your belt. Syllabus week is probably the best week of college because it's an easy way to get acclimated to your professors, classmates, and determine how your course load will be for the rest of the semester.
If this isn't your first year of college, you already know the drill and can relate to these scenarios that Barney Stinson illustrates.
If this is your first year, this is a good guide to what to expect on your first week of college.
1. Correctly picking your seat.
Choose wisely, because now that officially your unassigned assigned seat.
2. When you see that hot guy/girl walk through the door.
And all of a sudden that class got a lot better.
3. Seeing your friends walk through the door.
You get super excited to see your friends and catch up on all your summer activities.
4. When the professor reads over the syllabus.
The professor reading over the standard information can get tiring by the second or third class of the day.
5. Introductions
Class introductions are awkward and drawn out especially when it's a bigger class.
6. Attendance.
Professor: "Attendance is mandatory and 30% of your grade."
Me:
7. Research papers and projects.
The professor will tell you many assignments, papers and projects will not be able to be done in one night, but that doesn't stop you from trying.
8. When the lecture slide goes from syllabus to chapter 1
The mood instantly changes in the room and the class just got that much painful.
9. Or sometimes, class gets out early.
You instantly feel a special connection with your professor and it feels like they really understand you as a college student.
10. When the weekend hits.
You finally made it through all your classes and know what to expect, so go out and celebrate a new year with your friends because it's going to be legen...wait for it...dary.
Whether it's your first year of college or your last, make the most of it because syllabus week is only the beginning. To all my college friends out there, have a great year!
