A new semester means going through the first day of classes. This can be exciting, tiring, depressing, but overall? It's pretty humorous. How I Met Your Mother can describe the first day of classes in many ways. Here are the things that go through my head on the first day of classes:

1. Another chance for me to introduce myself to the class... AWESOME

My name is Kaitlin, I am a big sister, and I love Crocs. If you have any classes with me, that is what you know about me.

2. It's too early for jokes

When the professor is making jokes and the room sits silent... It's the first 8 AM of the semester, I don't have the energy to laugh at your jokes, even if I'm dying in my head.

3. Hey, I got an answer right - on the first day!

First impressions are vital with the professor... I just hope he/she doesn't get too used to me knowing the answer to his/her questions...

4. Once again, "Check the syllabus"

Sometimes people ask the professor questions and I literally want to throw the syllabus, that is sitting in front of them, in their face. Surprisingly enough, the professor's answers to these questions is almost always, "Check the syllabus."

5. Technology policy?

Every class is the same thing, don't use unless there is an emergency, or it is aiding you in class work. Chances are they know that you're not looking down at your crotch laughing.

6. This assignment can't be started the night before?

You don't think that I can write a 10 page paper in one night? I bet I could.

7. Does this syllabus have any sort of structure?

If the answer is going to be "check the syllabus," the syllabus better be easy to follow.

8. What is that girl wearing?

This is the first day of classes, not the first party of the semester...

9.Is this professor on crack?

It's great when it's just the first day of classes and you already know the professor is "awesome-sauce".

10. Finally, a lunch break

The first day of classes also means a new schedule... Having three classes in a row and a twenty minute break means 15 minutes of food and 5 minutes of commute time. Eat up!

11. What do I expect to learn in this class?

How am I supposed to know? You're the professor. Teach me what I need to know for my future profession. Is that too much to ask?

12. It's literally day 1... how do I have so much work?

I forgot that college means 7 tons of work in the first hour of classes. No big deal.

13. Cute boy alert!

I think I forgot how to act normal. Why aren't my friends taking this class...

14. Pair up?

There's always that one class where you realize the hard way that there is an odd number in the class...

15. We NEED the book?...

Well, crap... I guess I have to go buy that now. Even though I have $2.43 in my bank account.

16. I want to go home

Why was I looking forward to the semester again?
