Course Registration As Told By 'Harry Potter'

1. You're casually sitting in class when you get the email from your advisor to sign up for advisement.


2. You go to sign up for an appointment, but the annoying girl in all your classes took the last afternoon session, so now you have to go at 9 a.m. on a Friday.


3. You start deciding what classes you'll take next semester based on if the professor got a chili pepper on Rate My Professor or not.

4. You ask your friends to help you with your schedule, but they're just as lost as you.


5. You start reading through the remaining classes you have to take, and immediately regret the bad decisions you made freshman year.

6. You call your parents to let them know you're dropping out.

7. They're super understanding.


8. You go to your appointment with your advisor, and try to be their best friend so they can give you an early registration day.

9. They ask you in about 15 different ways what your plans are post-graduation.


10. If you're one of the lucky ones, they will map out what classes you need to take for your remaining semesters in order to graduate with no problems.


11. You'll be shocked and amazed that you in fact will not have to stay in school for nine years.


12. You have to try and hold your composure when they give you your registration day and time and it's November 1st at 9 a.m.


13. Before you leave they'll remind you to remember to sign up for classes.


14. The day of, you're sitting around waiting for it to be your time, and you try to think of happier times when life was easy and you could remember what sleep felt like.


15. The library is an absolute war zone. There's people running around trying to find spare outlets, some girl is crying in the corner, and two guys got in a fist fight over the last empty computer.


16. You religiously refresh to check the one class you HAVE to be in, and see the remaining seats number fall closer and closer to zero.


17. Someone will try to bribe you to not sign up for a class, so they can take it.


18. Your friends who have already registered won't stop talking about how perfect their schedules are.


19. When it finally is your time, you immediately log the course numbers you need and take no prisoners.

20. You get your courses set, and you got every class you wanted, so you try to play it off like you weren't even nervous to begin with.

21. After registration is over, everyone can go back to being themselves.


Happy registering! And always remember: "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to take an online class."

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
