It can be really challenging sometimes to find that perfect schedule that has all the classes your advisor wants you to take, but with no 8ams or no large breaks between your classes or even just making sure those classes are still available when you go to register is stressful enough. Follow these tips to ensure you get the best schedule.

List out the classes

Whether they were the classes your advisor told you to take or they are the ones in your four year plan or on your degree works. List them out on an excel sheet and give each class a color.

Make a calendar

Using the same excel sheet make two weekly calendar to start so list Monday-Friday and add all borders

Now look up when your classes are offered

Find the section that works best with your schedule so having no classes on Friday or making sure your lab doesn't interfere with another class. Under each class write down at least three options of when you would want to take that class

Rate my professor

Make sure you double check the professors with all three sections you wrote down whether it's asking someone who has already taken that class or using rate my professor which I really like to use.

Put each class into your weekly schedule

Add one section of each class that best works with all the other classes make sure your write down the class, section, time and location. Make sure each class is highlighted with the color we assigned earlier.

Double check the building location

Make sure your classes aren't too far away so you don't have 10mins to get across campus

Have more than one option

Make sure that there is a second schedule that you wouldn't be upset having in case the section or professor you want is taken.

Have many alarms set

Set many alarms for the day and time when you need to register, don't forget to register and don't panic. Follow your schools instructions on how to register and get all the classes you need and want.

Don't be afraid to ask questions

If you are ever confused don't be afraid to ask your friends or advisor questions about registering.

Happy registering! :)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
