13 Times 'Saturday Night Live' Described Class Registration

Sometimes in college it seems like every little thing you do has a way to be stressful. Class registration is no exception: organizing schedules, checking classes, signing up for times... it can be a nightmare. To lighten it up a little, here's just a few times that "Saturday Night Live" has felt all of our pain. Without further ado...

1. When you meet with your advisor to talk about your schedule for next semester

Didn't I just talk to you? It isn't really time to do this all over again, is it? I don't believe you.

2. When you start looking at the classes you have to take

Why are there so many? Writing out your classes for the remainder of your college career is an even worse idea. Help me.

3. When you try to plan out the times for your classes

You'd think from all the effort and cross-checking that I'm doing that I'd be decoding an ancient language, but really I'm just trying to see if I have enough time to get from one building to another in 15 minutes without hating myself.

4. When you look up your potential professors' ratings

Somebody make this end. Sometimes there are four different professors for the same time and looking each of them up gives you a full picture of who to register for. But it's so tedious...

5. When you find out you're going to have a class with a friend

It's always nice knowing that you'll have someone to talk to about the class and be able to share notes with. Solid plus.

6. When you get your registration time

Why is it so late? Is everyone else just smarter than me or something? Going through the day watching the registration website like a hawk is not my idea of fun.

7. When you see that the classes you want/need are filling up

DON'T. YOU. DARE. Listen, buddy, four years is the goal, and I'm not going to be held back by one stupid class.

8. When you realize that you're going to have to take a class with that professor no one likes

For the sake of graduating on time, I will do this. Maybe 26 student reviewers were wrong...

9. When it's the day of registration

Feeling nervous the whole day of registration is totally normal and also completely mortifying.

10. When you see that a class you need is full 15 minutes before you register

You have to be kidding me! All that planning and researching professors and stressing over whether I got it right, and now you tell me I have to rework everything?? No, I'm FINE!

11. When you finally register for classes

It's over, it's done, I can actually sleep tonight. Praise.

12. When you look at your final schedule and notice how weird your next semester is going to be

Wait, I'm going to have class until 6:30 p.m. on Mondays, and on Thursday's I don't start classes until 2 p.m. Remind me why I did this again?

13. When you remember that you can drop and add classes later

Thank goodness for drop/add. It's saved many a college kid's sanity and has helped people take the classes they need. Even if registration goes sideways, you can try your luck with the drop/add period.

To my fellow college kids out there, good luck registering for classes! Here's to hoping you get the classes that you need and the times that you want. I believe in you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
