Thoughts Everyone Has During Syllabus Week

Syllabus Week, or should I say "Sylly Week," is upon us here at Arizona State and several other universities across the country. What an exciting time to be a college student. It's a new year, with new classes, and for one week, college seems effortless. Let's be honest, no actual work gets done during syllabus week aside from reading the syllabus. Nothing is better than a quick trip to class to hear your professor read over the rules and then unparalleled freedom to do whatever you want.

Here are the thoughts we all have during the excitement of syllabus week.

"I'm back baby!"

"My life will be organized this year!"

"Where is my class?"

"Did I look like a baby when I was a freshman?"

"I hope I have one friend in this class."

"Where am I going to get an outfit for that themed party?"

"Why is this syllabus longer than any paper I have ever written?"

"Did the kid next to me bathe in beer last night?"

"Please don't call on me."

"Did you really just give us an assignment on the first day of class?"

"Who is that babe up there in the corner?"

"Why did I go out last night, and why is this class so early?"

"Do I have to buy that textbook?

"SOS I need food!"

"This class might be some form of hell."

"Is it wrong that I'm about to go out for the fourth time this week?"

"Sylly Week is already over?"

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
