10 Thoughts Every College Students Has When Scheduling For Next Semester

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.

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!

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.
