10 Thoughts Every College Students Has When Scheduling For Next Semester
Brittany Clark

Yes, it's that time of the year again. You're problem thinking, "what time"? Well, it's that time of the year that makes every college student question every decision that they have ever made in their life up until this point. It is time to schedule classes for spring semester and I know what you are thinking, exactly what I am thinking in this list of compiled thoughts.

1. Should I change my major?

Because looking at the courses you have to schedule for next semester makes you wonder if the end product is all worth it.

2. Maybe I should take 18 credit hours

We've all said it before, maybe we all have done it before even. But this is something we ask ourselves every time we go to schedule because we either A.) want to graduate on time or B.) we just simply think that we can handle it.

3. Maybe I shouldn't take 18 credit hours

Let's admit it, we all enjoy a little free time and think that this option will give us just this. Well, we are all wrong. In college, there is no downtime.

4. Am I even going to graduate on time? 

Playing the back and forth game between choosing 12-18 credit hours each semester can be a tricky one and a long one in the end. Here's to fifth-year seniors!

5. Should I pick up another minor?

No, the answer is always no. And if you've figured out how to do this without putting yourself into overload, well, then you are a wizard.

6. I can handle all 8 am's

Been there, done that. Always, and I mean ALWAYS, a bad decision especially because you know you don't go to bed until 3 AM every night anyway.

7. This won't be so bad

Referring to any and every one of your courses you select and then regretting it when final grades come out.

8. I heard this one was easy, maybe I should take it to boost my GPA

Never rely on what you hear. Every person has different learning strategies and what is easy for you may not be easy for someone else.

9. I'll just put myself on the waitlist 

Don't, especially if you are trying to get into a major course. Chances are an upperclassman is taking the course to graduate and no room will be made available.

10. Maybe I'll just drop out

This one always seems rational when we are overwhelmed and lost but at least we are all overwhelmed and lost together.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
