Syllabus week is a roller coaster of emotion. New school supplies, new classes, new professors; it can all be very overwhelming! So what better way to describe it than with the most dramatic show on television? If the characters of Grey's Anatomy were experiencing syllabus week along with you, I imagine this is how they might react.
When your professor e-mails your class before the first day, saying you might want to get an "early start" on the reading assignment.

When the bookstore cashier tells you your total and you're trying not to have a breakdown.

Looking over the syllabus and already knowing that this class will ruin your life.
By the end of the week you're not sure how much longer you can keep it together.
But then you give yourself a little pep-talk and force yourself to think more positively.
And then you remember how smart and capable you are.
You've got this!
