It's the beginning of Spring semester and most of us have already sat through plenty of painful classes.

You know what I'm talking about: your professor is rambling on and on about something you don't care about and you already know that it is going to be a long semester. While not all classes are going to be exciting, there are those that are just extremely dreadful.

Here's how you know that your best bet is to drop the class and move on with your life:

1. Your textbook costs $100 or more.

Sorry, but no college kid has an extra hundred to drop on a textbook for just ONE class.

2. Your professor specifically said you NEED the book.

Unless you LOVE reading, this is a definite RED FLAG.

3. You have a 20+ page reading assignment due next class

Who is teaching this class? The book or the professor?

4. You can’t even get through Day 1 without wanting to fall asleep.

The professor is a complete snoozefest…

5. Or your professor has already said some questionable things.

…Or a definite jerk.

6. “That girl” who made your last class MISERABLE is in this one too.

We all know “that girl”….. the one who asks 500 questions and turns a potentially short class into a drawn out long one.

7. Your friends have taken this professor already and said a good grade is impossible.

Drop this one IMMEDIATELY.

8. You’re just not feeling it.

Maybe next semester?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
