After stating your fun fact, you have to tell the class why you registered to take this class. Everyone already knows it's a required class so you have to come up with a good reason that sounds better than everyone else...

Now that the terrible introductions are over, you finally get to talk about the syllabus. This is a weird emotion, you're ready to hear about what you're going to be doing this semester but also a very scared.

"The basic rules for this course...no cheating, be respectful...."

"Now on to the assignments for the semester!"

"We will have a midterm, a final, 6 quizzes, 2 presentations, 1 group project, 4 papers, and a research project..."

The teacher suggests starting all of the assignments as soon as possible so you don't get stuck trying to throw something together to day before!

And this is the best idea you've ever heard...like why didn't you think of this yourself?

But then your brain is like "we say this every semester and you know you're going to wait until the last possible second."

"I also offer a lot of extra credit opportunities."

"The syllabus is very straight forward and easy to understand. I have my office hours listed should you have any questions."

Your class is 75 minutes long and you have covered the syllabus and stupid introductions in 45 minutes. You're really hoping to get out of class early. It's the first day and you're already exhausted.

This process usually goes on for a few day in every class. You've run out of fun facts, you're tired. you're hungry, you have too many things written in your planner and you just want the week to be over...

Then you make it to the weekend!!!

"So how was your first week of school?"

Although we all can get overwhelmed by start of the new semester, we know that we'll get through it and it'll all turn out just fine! Make a schedule, start a study group, and don't forget that you can always count on your friends and family when you get stressed!

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
