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!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
