Moving back to college is great.

You get to start a brand new year and see your friends that you've missed all summer. One of the best parts about going back to school is syllabus week, that wonderful week where you can change up your class schedule if you start to freak out about your major or just get back into the groove of things.

Most students spend this time doing whatever they want because nothing important ever happens in class, and this is the only time that will ever be an actual thing. For some students, this means sleeping as much as possible, and for others it means going out every night with your best friends.

Either way, you get to enjoy your stress-free week doing what you love. Here are just a few of the high's and low's that occur during syllabus week, as told by the cast of Friends:

1. Realizing you have to get up for class on Monday morning (and every morning after that).

2. When you know you should go to sleep but that new episode just can't wait.

3. Trying to decide if you've picked the right major or if you should change it again.

4. Not having any of your books picked out or even ordered yet and realizing the mistake you've made when the professor says you'll be using them every day.

5. Trying not to fall asleep while the professor reads over the syllabus.

6. Getting homework assignments when you have no motivation.

7. Spending more time watching Netflix or eating in the dining hall than preparing for your classes.

8. Hanging out with your friends and ignoring all responsibilities.

9. When your professor hits you with that syllabus quiz you forgot about.

10. Trying to talk yourself into actually working out this year.

11. Wishing you were walking on the beach instead of speed walking to class.

12. When you are convinced by the classes you're taking that college isn't going to work out.

13. When syllabus week is ending and you actually have to start learning.

14. Realizing it's going to be a rough semester but, in the end, you will survive (maybe).

When syllabus week ends (much sooner than you realize), students usually face the facts that no week will be as relaxing as this week. Yeah, you may have had to take a syllabus quiz or two, and you may have walked into the wrong class, but at the end of the week, you realize how good you had it and how rough it's about to get.

It probably feels like the next four months are going to kill you, but the good news is that you'll still have a few days here and there that will bring you back to that wonderful feeling that only syllabus week can give you. Don't worry though, you'll get another one after Christmas!

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
