It’s time to head back to school, and you know what that means… syllabus week!

Better known as sylly week, the first week of class is often spent going over the class syllabus. This means there are few, if any, assignments to complete or tests to study for. Sylly week is a great week to enjoy time with your friends before the craziness of the semester begins. If you’re wondering how to spend your sylly week, look no further!
