Scheduling classes is a nightmare. Unless you're a senior or came in with like 348502 credit hours, getting the classes you want is basically a nightmare.

You're excited about scheduling! Maybe this time it will actually work out for you. No 8am classes, no awkward breaks or hard professors (hopefully).

You get your scheduling time. It's not terrible, it could be better, but it's pretty normal; therefore, you are not discouraged (yet).

You start with your perfect schedule. Yet after you meet with your advisor (however helpful or unhelpful that may be), you realize you need to make a backup schedule, and backup for your backup, and so on.... It hits you kind of hard at first.

You got everything figured out now, everything is good to go, and you are so prepared! You got this.

Yet all you have to do is wait, and wait, and wait. You can see your classes filling up, the available seats dwindling every time you check the classes you want to take. You're not sure whether to feel sad or upset, so many emotions are going through your mind at once. You wanted your next semester to work out so badly.

Your anxiety is building as it gets closer to your registration time. You're praying that some miracle happens and that your classes somehow remain open.

It's here! It's here! You're watching the clock, maybe you even made the clock on your computer show the seconds so you can register exactly when your time comes (I know I did). You click to register and wait to see if any of your classes are already full.

You got it. You did it. A higher power blessed you with the classes you wanted. You must celebrate.

I know this is one of the most stressful and annoying times of the year. Just take comfort in the fact that you are continuing your college career and education, and in the end, that's all that really matters. Go you!
