Registration Week, As Told By Michael Scott

Ah registration week, one of the most stressful weeks you'll have throughout college. Who knew The Office could be so relatable when it comes your thoughts when signing up for classes for the next semester? But hey, try not to stress too much, people usually drop classes too so be sure to keep your eyes out for any openings, even after registration week. You never know!

1. After planning your "perfect" schedule, and three back up schedules.

Because one schedule just isn't going to cut it. Your writing class you chose? Yeah that filled up during the first day, better have a back up just incase. You need your perfect schedule, a backup, a backup for the backup, and a backup for the backup for the backup.

2. Watching your classes you chose, fill up.

Why does life hate me? Why do people continue to choose MY classes. There's going to be nothing left but 8am's and Friday classes by the time I pick.

3. When someone with priority brags that they got the classes they wanted.

Stop, just stop. No one wants to hear you brag about having priority. It's completely unfair to the rest of us who have to suffer while watching every class fill up. If you're going to brag, at least offer to hold a class for us..

4. When you see only a few spots left in a class you want, and you don't register for another day.

Just hoping to see a shooting star so I can wish for one spot to be left by the time I register.. Just one spot, that's all I ask for in life.

5. When it's finally your registration day.

IT'S HERE. REGISTRATION DAY IS HERE, STAY CALM, DO NOT FREAK OUT, GRAB YOUR LAPTOP AND GET READY! No one better get in my way, the internet better not lag, and my laptop better be charged and ready to go.

6. When you FINALLY pick your classes.

Ha, I got my classes, in your face. They may or may not be my first choice but, my time is over and I have completed the difficult task of college. Now I feel like I'm on top of the world, while the freshman still have to wait another day, and get the left over classes.

7. Then you disappear for a while into your dorm room, to de-stress.

I'm emotionally drained, registration week makes me feel so exhausted. If you need me, I'll be laying in my bed for the rest of the day.. or week.. or month.. But, please don't need me.


Good luck registering!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
