"Course request opens tonight." says my roommate walking out the door.

My head whips around in that terror that strikes through your body. AGAINNNNNNNNN????

Course request is more stressful then midterms.

Your classes for next semester affect everything: your professors, your possible grades, your time schedule, how much fun you can have on Thursday night, basically everything important.

Here are 10 thoughts that will go through your head during course request.

1. Why are Friday classes a thing?

Really... why can't we all have a three day weekend? It's only 4 years...

2. OK, but what did Koofers say?

Don't lie, we all do it. We look up which class were more likely to get an A in, or what professor doesn't require attendance. Sometimes, I look up which professors require books. #broke

3. Can I avoid 8 a.m.s... or maybe even 10 a.m.s?

No one wants to get up early, and if you do, teach me your ways. Coffee just isn't helping me.

4. Which classroom is closer to ABP?

Food. It always helps. Plus ABP can be healthy... right?

5. So... how can I get Friday classes?

Really, no Friday classes are the best thing in the whole entire world. However, we can't get this lucky every semester. There is a reason attendance goes down on Fridays.

6. Should my classes be back to back or spread out?

Serious question. It's hard to decide which is better. The spaces allow for work to get done.

7. Can I walk across campus in 15 minutes?

The answer is yes... IF you wear the eight shoes and really keep up the pace. Just don't expect a great seat.

8. *texts friend* Is this class easy?

This is really how it's done. Person to person communication is the most important aspect of course request. Why take a class you will bust your butt to get a C in when you can breeze easy, learn a lot, and get an A.

9. Why am I required to take this class?

Sometimes things just don't make sense.

10. WAITTTT?!?!?!?! I have to graduate early/late?

I can't decide which is worse.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
