A Real Look at Registering for Classes

Anyone who has had to wake up for registration knows how absolutely miserable the process it is. You roll out of bed at 6:05 after you snooze through roughly 20 alarms set at 5 minute increments. You go into panic mode when you realize you can't find your sheet from advisement appointment with your RAN. You finally track down your sheet, wait 30 minutes for WINGS to load,  and start going into the registration process. 

The night before all of this, you meticulously plan out every class you want with the right teacher and the right time. "Of course I'll be the only one who will want a 2:30 MW class with 4 seats left out of 500," you tell yourself. 

Unfortunately,  it's not actually a thing. Everyone wants that class so now you are stuck in 1 of your 5 "perfect classes" and are scrambling to avoid getting stuck with an 8 am MWF class with an extremely strict attendance policy and an extremely boring topic like Legal Analysis of Purple Spotted Tree Frogs. You manage to fill up a 12-hour schedule so you can still qualify as a full-time student and have class from 8 am until 10 pm Monday through Friday.   

You roll back to sleep after accepting your fate of working on your schedule every morning in the offices of your dream professors during Drop/Add week.

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.
