Now that we’re a week into the semester and we’re all getting back into the swing of things, we’re all starting to experience the struggles that come with being back at school
1.“Syllabus week” is actually more like “syllabus 5 minutes”
Everyone talks about syllabus week like it’s a thing, but it’s more like “here’s the syllabus, and here’s 90 pages of reading for Wednesday”.

2. So Many Noises
Being back at school and living the dorm life does have some perks, like living with your best friends, but it also has some (many) downsides. For example, the elephants that stomp around above you, the super thin walls, and being able to hear every car and conversation that passes by your window. Ah, it’s good to be back.

3. The Plague
Raise your hand if you already have a cold. I know I do. Every year as soon as I get back, I get a nasty cold and then I’m just mildly sick for the rest of the year. I know a lot of us experience this, so try to take care of yourself the best you can! Stay hydrated, eat your fruits and veggies, all that jazz.

4. Realizing Everything You Forgot
One huge struggle I always encounter is realizing everything I left at home. This either results in calling my parents and asking them to send everything to me, or relying on my true bff, Amazon Prime.

5. The WiFi
You know how it goes: you’re all happy with your nice and speedy WiFi from home and then you come back to school and it takes an hour to download something that should take 5 minutes, or the WiFi goes out when you’re in the middle of doing something important, like watching Netflix.

But even with all of this, we’re all still (mostly) happy to be back. Have a great semester, Captains!
