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.

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?
