We all know that feeling of anticipation mixed with dread that goes hand in hand with registering for the next semester’s classes. Why oh why is this process such a wild emotional ride? Everyone is familiar with the eight thoughts below.
1. All of these classes look interesting. Can I just quadruple major? I feel like that should be a thing.
2. Of course I can get up for that 8 a.m. class! Let me add that to my schedule.
3. Of course I can’t get up for that 1 p.m. class! Let me take that off my schedule.
4. I need both of these classes to graduate, but they’re at the same time…
5. It’s completely normal to add a course because ratemyprofessors.com says this teacher sometimes brings food to class, right?!
6. Was I the only one assigned a 6:30 a.m. registration time?!
7. THIS CLASS SOUNDS AMAZING! But wait, it doesn’t get out until 5:20 p.m. on Friday…
8. Waitlists are evil, and they should not exist. If I don’t get in this class, my entire academic career will go up in flames. MY LIFE WILL BE RUINED.
Good luck with registration, collegiettes!
