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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
