The first class of the semester can be very stressful. You don’t know which of your friends you’ll spot when you walk into the room or what to expect from each professor. It can either create excitement for what’s to come or make you stressed before you even finish the first hour. Either way, Jennifer Lawrence seems to know it best.
You start the day confident and ready for what’s to come
Until you try to find your first class
And when you finally do you walk in like
But when you get up you see a group of your friends already there
Then your teacher has every student share something unique
But everyone else seems less than impressed
Then your professor goes over the syllabus and reviews the no cell phone policy like
You look at the clock and realize you still have 30 minutes left
And then you hear your teacher announce a homework assignment for next class
And that there may be a quiz on the reading next week
So you raise your hand and suggest the quiz should be postponed since you don’t have the textbook yet and the professor says no
When you finally get home you reflect on how you can’t believe you made it through the day
The first class of the semester can be tough, but no matter how much work gets assigned or how boring your professor is, don’t get discouraged on day one. Good luck!
