It’s hard to not get frustrated when it comes to scheduling. We’ve all been there, and we know just how real the struggle is.
1. I’m barely surviving the fall, and I have to think of the spring now? Good joke.
It’s almost like we’re paying to stress ourselves out over every aspect of these classes, and we have to pay for more? We think we’ll pass.
2. Unnecessary classes.
We all chose our majors for a reason. I chose communications because math makes me want to run for the hills. And yet here I am, waiting to see if I can get into Stat 200 and cry my eyes out.
3. The class you need for your major is filled which means it’s time to Watch List it.
Watch Lists are just the devil. Nothing says stress like getting a Watch List notification when you’re in your one class that doesn’t allow technology. If I miss this class one more time…
4. When a required class is only available at 8 a.m.
Maybe I can put it off for another semester? (I say optimistically for the third semester in a row).
5. My classes are only fifteen minutes apart. How can I make it so I don’t have to move… like at all?
Despite what your freshman year advisors told you, you can’t make it everywhere on campus in fifteen minutes. That being said, when Penn State turns into the arctic tundra from January to about April 30, sprinting across campus through three feet of snow is not exactly what I had in mind. Can all of my classes be in Willard?
6. You can hear your wallet crying as you scroll through the Rate My Professor reviews since textbooks are required… and expensive.
Just knowing you’ll be dropping $200 on an access code for a book that is only available online hurts. Well, it looks like I’ll be living off of Easy Mac and beef ramen for another month…
7. Where are my classes in relation to my apartment?
That being said… can someone wake up ten minutes before class and still make it there in time? Asking for a friend.
