Registering For Classes As Told By OITNB

Everyone knows that registering for classes is easily the most nerve-wracking, exciting and worrisome part of a semester. When you get the classes you need and want, it's a breeze. When you have to fight for a spot or can't even get into a class that you really need to take so you can graduate on time, not so much.

Everyone with procrastination problems loves to do so by binge watching the hit Netflix series "Orange Is The New Black" until 5 in the morning, then struggling to make it to the 8 a.m. class they regrettably registered for. So here are 16 times OITNB completely and 100 percent accurately portrayed what it's like to dreadfully register for classes each semester.

1. When you start seeing "Register for classes now!" signs all over campus.

2. When you finally get in to meet with your advisor and don't understand a lick of what he is trying to tell you.

3. When your advisor finally gets around to explaining your heavy course load for the upcoming semester.

4. When your advisor keeps asking you what you're good at to choose an elective and this is all you can say.

5. Finally getting to leave your advisor's office to go pick out all the classes y'all talked about.

6. When someone tries to convince you a class that is definitely hard actually isn't that bad.

7. When you're diligently working away at the computer and your roomie decides to pop in to "help out".

8. So you have to jump to hide the evidence that you were on Pinterest instead of actually signing up for classes.

9. Then the wifi decides to stop working.

10. Once it's finally back up, you try to convince your roomie to take a class with you.

11. At first she resists, then she finally succumbs to your devious ways.

12. So you both decide you'll just fail happily together.

13. When you see that someone took the last spot in a class you REALLY needed to take this semester.

14. Then you notice you caught the last spot for another class you REALLY needed to take this semester.

15. When you realize that you came out on top with no 8 a.m. classes for the semester.

16. When you finally realize you're done registering for classes and don't have to do it again for a whole 3 months.

Although registering for classes each semester has its many ups and downs, sometimes it's not all bad. If you can get past the crashing servers and not being able to get into certain classes at certain times that is. Once you're finally finished you get a sense of accomplishment and direction, which is always good feeling to have about an upcoming semester.

In the end, it always ends up working out how it's supposed to, regardless of the trials to get there!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
