Class Registration Struggles

The most dreaded time of the semester

Class Registration Struggles
STASHED

It's that time of the semester again - registering for classes. Everyone spends weeks perfecting their schedules with exactly the right professor and times for optimal hours of sleep and amount of course work. The only thing in the way is the actual registering. No school's servers are ever ready for the amount of students trying to register. I have spent a minimum of two hours trying to register every single time. Everyone is racing against their peers for the best schedule, and it is a major cause of frustration for all. Here's the struggle of registering for classes as told through gifs

Researching professors

Gotta find the best professor

Making your schedule

Time to sit down and write it all out

Re-making your schedule because your first one wasn't perfect

You'll spend hours making possible schedules

Waiting for your registration day

When will the day arrive?

Waiting for your registration time on said day

I constantly check the clock

Racing to log on to your registration site

Nothing prepares you for the rush of adrenaline as you try to log in

The face you make when the wifi is super slow

Well...you try to log in. And then it takes ten minutes (or more) for the website to load

How the servers feel trying to handle all the students registering

But really, why hasn't a server been developed yet to handle all the traffic on registration days?

When the class you wanted has no more spots but you have to keep going on with your life

Mourn the loss of your perfect schedule, and then move on and keep registering. You can cry later

Trying to get the rest of the classes you want

Waitlists upon waitlists

Finally finishing registering

Time to let out a huge sigh of relief

Watching everyone else struggle to register after you

Psh, that wasn't too bad.


Happy Registering!

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.
