As a summer of babysitting gigs, internships, and collecting stamps in passports came to a close, college students were eagerly anticipating perhaps the most universally celebrated holiday out there: syllabus week. This week provides students with a rollercoaster of experiences and emotions unlike any other, from getting lost on campus even as a junior or senior, to having quarter-life crises by Wednesday. Anyone who attends a university, especially Florida State, is well aware that a lot goes down during this series of days, and perhaps nobody embodies those feelings more so than the cast of “Friends.”
Prioritizing what to pack for college
Moving back to school is all fun and games until you’re lugging furniture up 3 flights of stairs
When you find friends in your classes
When the professor gives a test on the first day
When the professor says that attendance is mandatory
When there is no midterm or final exam
When there is no required textbook…
But you have to purchase a $100 access code
When you remember that you have an 8 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Looking through all of your syllabi like
But we all know that this week is all about going out with your friends
Doing stupid things socially unacceptable anywhere else
Piling into crazy Uber rides
Witnessing all of the freshmen at their first frat parties
Getting back into the flirting game
And seeing that guy that you ghosted over the summer
Being back at school means regressing back to your unhealthy dietary routine
Not one conversation will go by without slight mention of the approaching football
And keeping up with everyone’s excessively dedicated tailgating habits
You remember how expensive college is
At the end of it all, you most likely will have fallen victim to the syllabus week plague
But it feels damn great to be back
