First Day Of Spring 2025 Classes Prop Bets

Here we go again!
Whether you’re ready for it or not, Sylly Week of the spring 2025 semester has arrived. Some of us have been looking forward to this day, while others have been dreading the flood of Canvas notifications on our phones.
Continuing an Onward State tradition, we’ve compiled a list of prop bets to help guide you through your first day back.
For those unfamiliar with prop bets, Onward State co-founder Evan Kalikow put it best: “A prop bet is short for proposition bet. Basically, it’s a bet on something not commonly betted upon. For example, lots of people bet on the score of the Super Bowl, but how many people bet on how many times the winning coach will say ‘humbled’ in the post-game press conference? That’s a prop bet.”
We must note that Onward State is not a gambling site and none of these bets are real in any way, shape, or form. We also do not encourage or promote gambling, but we do know how to provide some harmless fun. Let’s get into it!
