Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

It's that time of year again! We have (finally) returned from winter break, being reunited with our friends and unfortunately, a new class schedule. But it's okay because although we are back at school filled with assignments and tests, we are also back with our friends who are filled with good times and bad decisions. Syllabus week is the kick start of the semester, classes are short and at times meaningless; however, the nights are long and the happiest time of the semester. So soak up these next couple of days and enjoy your one and only completely stress-free week by indulging these 10 things that are only acceptable during syllabus week.

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Because every other week is a week in hell.

1. It's the only week when you can go out every day and not want to rip your hair out on Sunday realizing how much you actually have to do.

2. There's always something going on, whether it's parties, welcome back socials, or free food events for the most random things.

3. The classes never run the full time...

4. You suddenly have a million friends again after not seeing everyone over break.

5. You have a fresh new meal plan again.

6. You're optimistic about how great you'll do this semester... at least for now.

7. You get a feel for how strict your professors are. How easy is it to text during class? Can I get away with not buying the textbook? Can I nap?

8. Everyone is in the same boat with the incredibly awkward ice breakers.

9. But regardless, you couldn't be more glad to be back.

"The Office" understands the struggle of the first week back from winter break.

1. Waking up for your first 9:00 a.m. class of the semester.

2. When you remember you have to walk in the freezing cold to your classes.

3. Feeling overly confident in your academic abilities on the first day of classes.

4. Walking into your first class and seeing friends from your major.

5. That moment when you open the syllabus packet to see what possible pain lies ahead.

6. You resent the professors that keep you for the whole class time on the first day.

7. When professors tell you too much about their personal lives on the first day of class.

8. When your professor tries to explain the benchmark assignment to the class.

9. Finding out the final exam in a class will be comprehensive.

10. When you're done with classes for the day and you finally get to take a nap.

11. Finding out a required textbook is out of stock at the bookstore.

12. When you're broke after buying your textbooks for the semester.

13. When you realize that you really need to start getting PATH points...

14. Impatiently waiting for all of your classes to be up on Isidore.

14. The realization that this semester will be harder than you anticipated...

15. Getting overly excited for going out on the first weekend back from break.

It's that time of year again!

1. Going out on the Sunday before classes start, even if the bars close before midnight.

2. Bringing nothing but coffee and a hangover to class on Monday.

3. Walking into the wrong classroom even though you are a junior.

4. Changing seats after the first class.

5. Openly talk about yourself to your class when your professor makes an effort to get to know you.

6. Going out six nights in a row because why not? You know you will never get the chance to again.

7. Eat out at all of your favorite places because you still have some leftover Christmas money.

8. Nap as much as possible so you can stay out all night.

9. Bring your dog to class and see if you can get away with it.

10. Skip the class you know you won't be able to for the rest of the semester.
