For seniors, scheduling classes is the easiest thing in the world. First priority, all of your hard classes are done, and you're basically just coasting through your final semesters.

For freshman it's a nightmare. You're the very last people to schedule, you're basically dirt, so you probably don't get the class times you want, or they're all full. Hello 8 a.m.!

Since it is that time of year, welcome one and all to the frenzy we call Class Scheduling.

1. Ok, I'm logged on early

Oh you thought logging on early will stop the site from crashing on you when you go to finalize your schedule? Hilarious! The site will freeze on you for a good five minutes right as you click the button.

2. I hope no classes are full

Thanks to that lag in the beginning of your session, that one class you really wanted is all full. It's offered again at 8 a.m. on a different day if you still want to take it. Lucky you...

3. Why is there a hold on my account?

Ahh yes. Your school has suddenly decided that you owe them some amount of money very urgently, and have therefore put a hold on your account so you can't schedule. Better call them quick and clear it all up.

4. FULL ON PANIC

You have to take 8 a.m. classes, you can't register for a minor course yet because the hold hasn't been lifted, and the class you wanted to take with your friends filled up before you could log on. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

5. This semester will be hell

Nothing went right and you feel defeated. Best thing to do now is take a nap, because hey, at least you scheduled classes. Welcome to college!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
