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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
