Relatable Meme

As a fourth year colleges student, I look forward to syllabus week because it is supposed to be easy.  Ideally, the professor walks in; does a brief introduction of themselves, hands out the syllabus; goes over it briefly, and then the class introduces themselves.  This usually means, name, year, major, why you chose to take this course, and an interesting fact.  In a perfect world this takes a maximum of 30 minutes, and then the class is let out for the day.

However, this is not the case for the start of this Spring semester.  Four out of the five of my classes have all gone the full time slot.  As a class we went over the syllabus, introduced ourselves, and learned a whole lesson.  That is where this meme comes into play.  It relates to me as a college student, having the idea that the first week of school is going to be a breeze and not have work to do, but turns out, I am the victim of a hate crime, and have to sit through full classes and dive into work immediately.   This is an image of Michael Scott from The Office.  With the caption "I am a victim of a hate crime."

  1. I had the same thing. Almost all of my classes lasted the full time length. I was not prepared to learn the first day!

  2. I agree with your post because I have the same expectations about syllabus week. In the past, my professors have just went through the syllabus and we introduced ourselves. We never stayed for the entire class time. However, this semester, each of my classes have almost went the full time since they all started a lesson. I also noticed many of my professors told us to look over the syllabus on their own, as they did not want to spend class time talking about the syllabus.

  3. I really like and relate to your meme. I think that the first week or at least first day of classes should be a quick introduction and in and out, rather than learning a new lesson. Two of my five classes started a lecture the first day and it was almost impossible for me to focus on what was actually being taught.

  4. I relate to this post so much! Coming into college, I had always heard about “sylly week.” This was supposedly a week of relaxation and getting adjusted/readjusted to college life. However, the past few semesters have seemed to neglect syllabi in general. Most professors spend half the time going over the syllabus and course schedule then jumping immediately into course-based content. I realize it is a more realistic approach, but it doesn’t make the first week any better!
