5 Signs Syllabus Week Has Past

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Syllabus week is long behind us and the professors have started to pile on the homework. * Sighs * Here are 5 reasons to prove that syllabus week is  long gone and you’ve kicked into full on school-mode.

1. You’ve started losing sleep

Managing your time between typing a 5-8 page research paper or studying for your exam that are both of the same day have you losing sleep and energy to even function. 

2. Dressing to impress doesn’t even exist

Who cares? All you’re worried about is getting those assignments submitted on time by 11:59 p.m.

3. The library or coffee shop is your new best friend

With your planner filled with nothing but deadlines and due dates, you don’t have anywhere else to spend your time while trying to manage through your workload.

4. You’re behind on reading assignments and your favorite TV shows

You literally have time to do nothing but work on assignments, and even then you’re still behind on some of your work.

5. Most of the little money you have goes towards your coffee addiction

Coffee is life, without it how will you function?
