The Truth Behind Syllabus Week

You've finally moved back into school and you're back with your friends. It's something that you've waited for for months now at this point and you feel like nothing can stop you... only to find out that syllabus week has officially some to an end and now there's nothing you can do besides study and pray. Through this week, you feel every sort of emotion from happiness and joy to stress and anxiety because now you have to be in school mode. Here's a visual representation if you need to actually witness it in something that isn't you.

1. The joy you feel when you're finally back with your suitemates.



2. The first night everybody is back on campus and you know it's lit.


3. When you wake up on the first day of classes.

Having the pleasure of a dorm with AC makes getting out of bed really hard. Personally, I relate to Homer on a spiritual level most days.

4. The feeling you get when your math professor says "No Formula Sheets"

This is also the point where you want to crawl in a hole and never come out because how on Earth am I going to pass Calc 3???

5. When you wake up on the second day of classes


Because it's always too early to get up, even when you don't have 8 AM's.


6. "Is it too early to skip class yet?" on Friday.


7. Making it to the weekend.


It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!!!!!


8. Squad night out, right? Because there's no homework in syllabus week..

The only thing taking up space in your mind right now is making sure you look as good as Beyonce does in your bodysuit. Work those dance moves. Whip that hair. Just don't wear makeup so your sweat isn't as noticeable.

9.But then Sunday night rolls around and you realize you have 8 chapters to read and an introduction paper to write because there's still homework in syllabus week.




10. Monday morning rolls around and the first thing you say is "wait, this was supposed to be due today?"

Although syllabus week seems like a breeze, I can promise you there is still responsibility that needs to be held when it comes to the schoolwork portion of college... but celebrate making it through that week because that's just one more week off the schedule until Christmas break! We'll get through it together, college students unite.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
