If you're a college student, there are only two words that are guaranteed to immediately send chills down your spine: class registration. This is the most stressful part of the semester because you're trying to figure out which classes to take, how many credits you need, or even worse, what you want to do with your future. Here are a few gifs that perfectly describe the entire process if you're not familiar with how much stress and time goes into it.

1. You finally decide to check your school's portal and you realize that registration is only one week away, and you haven't done anything to prepare

2. So you immediately set a bunch of hours aside to research all the classes you still need to take

3. Everything is looking fine until one of your major requirements is an early class

4. Once you take a look at all the classes in your shopping cart, you just have to accept that you won't have a social life next semester

5. But when you meet with your advisor, they remind you to add backups to your top picks, so you have to back to the drawing board and pick more classes

6. You're so focused on trying to get the perfect schedule that you don't have time for distractions, not even talking to your parents

7. You start to become more irritated once all your friends are talking about how their registration times are earlier than yours

8. The night before registration you're basically preparing for the worst and expecting to not get any of your top choice classes

9. It's the day of registration and you could not be any more nervous or anxious just to get your schedule 

10. When it's finally your turn to register, you see one of your top choices is already full 

11. So now you have to accept that you're going to take some courses that you're mildly interested in

12. Once you press the "enroll in courses" button, you see your schedule pop up and you feel like it's not real life

13. But after looking at your schedule you suddenly realize that it's actually not as bad as you thought it'd be and that you got some of your top choice classes

14. So now you're just chilling for the rest of the semester

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
