The Struggles Of Scheduling Classes

Scheduling classes can be rough sometimes.

It's that time of the year again... time to schedule classes and sometimes that can suck

1. Figuring out the classes you should take this semester

Thankfully there are degree audits and advisors. The degree audits show what you have left to take to get your degree. And your advisor should be there to help you make the decisions as to what to take.

2. Finding time to meet with your advisor

Finding time to meet with your advisor sucks when you have a lot of homework, exams, and club events. But making time to talk to your advisor is best.

3. Choosing your classes

Choosing your classes after meeting with your advisor can be interesting. Sometimes what you want to take is different than what you should take to stay on track to graduate.

4. Getting shut out of a class

Sometimes classes fill up super quickly and it sucks being the one on the end of being on the waiting list.

5. Trying to get in a class you are on the waiting list for

Sometimes when you are on a waitlist, you manage to get into that class and sometimes not. If you don't get in by the time classes start, it is sometimes hard to get in. Some professors will be alright with letting you in a class and others will not let you in.

6. Re-doing your schedule

When you don't get into a class that you need or want, sometimes you have to re-arrange your schedule. that can be hard sometimes.

7. If you happen to fail or not do well in a class....

If you happen to not do well in a class, you will have to take it over, and it is hard to do when you already have your schedule set for next semester

8. re-doing your schedule again.

Re-doing your schedule again is not the best thing in the world. But you may end up with a good schedule.

My advice to younger students is to try your best to get into the classes you want, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. And a bit of advice, it gets easier to schedule the higher you go up in ranking.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
