11 Relatable Thoughts You Have When Reading Your Syllabi And Stress-Eating Chips And Salsa

No seriously, I'm literally eating chips and salsa as I write this.

No matter how many times I read my syllabus, I never fail to feel overwhelmed. There's always that class where your final exam is 40% if your grade, or that class where you have to read 100 pages a night, or where you only have so many absences before your grade drops an entire letter. So while I stress-ate chips and salsa and read my syllabus, here were my thoughts.

1. "When my professor asks us to say our name and year, I'm going to say "Hi, I'm Stress, Class of 2020." There's no doubt about it; I've accepted my fate."

Giphy

"Hi! I'm Stressed-Overwhelmed-Cried-Twice-This-Morning-Alone, how are you?"

2. "The syllabus says 'Do not worry' which means this is probably a hard class, but Professor, you are truly an angel."

Giphy

A professor who understands and cares is truly from up above.

3. "We have multiple exams AND papers in this class? This is too much. I didn't sign up for this."

Giphy

"So you say this class is a lot of work and I actually have to try? No thanks."

4. "Attendance is mandatory? I'll probably go anyways because of my crushing anxiety, but now I have even more anxiety."

Giphy

Deep breaths, deep breaths..in, out, in out.

5. "Extra credit? You just spoke my language."

Giphy

Hakuna Matata!

6. "Is it worth it to drop this class needed for my major for one considered 'an easy A?' Debatable."

Giphy

Is it really debatable though?

7. "I'M FINE IT'S FINE EVERYTHING IS FINE."

Giphy

Everything is NOT fine.

8. "Okay not to be dramatic but this class might actually kill me. And my sleep schedule. This is the end. Rip."

Giphy

"It's been nice knowing you. I need to go dig my grave and take a nap now."

9. "I'm adulting and it's giving me teen angst...what?"

Giphy

"I THOUGHT I WAS DONE WITH THIS."

10. "Maybe I should just go search for jobs you can have with half of a college degree."

Giphy

"There aren't any jobs for someone with half a college degree? What? I blame the government."

11. "Okay, calm down, the syllabus is always overwhelming at the beginning. I can do this."

Giphy

"Things will get better things will get better things will get better."

While school can definitely be stressful, don't forget that you've got this. You'll learn what's expected, get in the groove of everything, and have fun along the way. Take breaks when you need to and don't be too hard on yourself. Your health comes first!

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
