We all know registering for classes can be a serious struggle, especially now with universities admitting more and more students every year. So who could explain the feeling of registering for classes better than the emotional men and women of "The Bachelor?"


First, registration opens up and you feel beyond overwhelmed.

You begin to look at all the classes you need to take and feel overwhelmed with stress. How are you going to possibly fit them all into your schedule? The idea of fulfilling all your requirements begins to seem like an unattainable task. Maybe it's time for a good cry.


Then you watch the classes you need begin to fill up.

You probably shouldn't have even planned your schedule yet, because all your classes are now full. How did every GE course that you hoped to take fill up already? It seems like everyone is out to get you and is purposefully registering for all the classes you need. Maybe you should just settle for the Theory and Practice of Rodeo?


You decide to ask a teacher for a permission number for his or her class. But then he or she tells you no.

OK, it's fine. You didn't want that class anyway. It's just the one class you needed as a prerequisite for all the upper division courses. You begin to start plotting and thinking of ways you could get into the class.


When you hear your friends start to complain about how many units they are taking, and you sit there wondering how they even got into all those courses.


You begin to have a hard time feeling sympathetic toward your friends, because you might not even get enough units to be a full-time student. Can they donate some units toward your cause? You start to wonder if you'll ever graduate. Is four units enough to be considered a full-time student?


Then, the day comes for you to register.

Oh no. It seems as though no classes are even available. It is definitely worse than you had anticipated. Time to consider taking a 7 A.M. class or maybe some night classes.


After a couple days, you receive the email that you are off the wait-list, and now you are in one of the classes you really wanted.

Wow, who knew this day would come. The feeling is better than receiving free Chipotle. Best. Day. Ever.


In the end, you actually end up with an OK schedule.

Time to celebrate. And maybe do a happy dance.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
