One of the most stressful times of the year has finally passed: class registration. Especially as a freshman, this mad dash to enroll before your desired classes are filled up is still almost as nerve-wracking as it was the first time around. Here’s a timeline of a typical Collegiette’s thought process as she registers for classes:
Two weeks before:
“Hmm… maybe I should start looking for classes to take next semester… nah.”
*Receives email from academic advisor about meeting to discuss classes*
“Okay, maybe I should actually look into this…
THERE ARE SO MANY CHOICES AGHHH”
One week before:
“Oh! This class looks so coo–nope, don’t have the prerequisites.”
*Crosses off a large portion of interesting classes because I’m a freshman*
“Umm, how about… 8 am. LOL nope.”
*Crosses off even more classes because they meet so freaking early in the morning*
Two days before:
“Ahh finally, my shopping cart has all the classes I want to take.
I am so confident in my choices. I’m gonna rock this semester!”
*Watches favorite classes fill up with upperclassmen and engineers*
*Stress-eats while frantically trying to make a new plan with less-than-ideal classes and times*
Day of:
*Heart races, and finger hovers over the enroll button as the clock approaches 9 am*
*Clock strikes 9–enrolls instantly*
Thank goodness that’s over with- until next semester… I’m going back to sleep!
*Sleeps soundly with a satisfied smile on her face*
