Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

1. Wow, time to sign up for classes already!

2. Alright, one semester closer to graduation. Let's do this.

3. I already know exactly what I'm gonna take.

4. Ugh, I have an advising flag on my account.

5. Okay, no problem. I'll just email my adviser about getting it removed.

6. In the meantime, I'll add all my classes to my cart.

7. I'm only going to schedule myself for Tuesday/Thursday classes. I'll have so much extra time to be productive!

8. Why are all the classes I need for my major scheduled at the most inconvenient times?

9. I mean, I guess having a three-hour night class on Wednesday isn't the worst thing in the world.

10. Just kidding, I am already dreading it and it's still months away.

11. Alright, get it together. This is what being a responsible adult is about.

12. Oh wonderful. That class is already wait listed.

13. Maybe I should check Rate My Professor real fast.

14. On second thought, maybe I'll wait on that class until it's offered with a different professor.

15. I really shouldn't sign up for an 8 a.m.

16. And it's only offered at 8 a.m.

17. I'll be fine. I'll just have to keep myself motivated to go to class.

18. I feel like there should be an easier way to do this.

19. It's like they're trying to make us regret all our life choices.

20. I can handle 18 credits, right?

21. What am I gonna do for three hours between these classes?

22. This is literally the most inconvenient and unorganized class schedule in existence.

23. Whatever, I'll just use that break to study.

24. Now I just have to pray these classes don't fill up before my enrollment appointment.

25. Thank goodness I don't have to do this again for another six months.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
