The 13 Stages Of Class Registration
Her Campus

Every college student hates hearing these two words: class registration. They honestly should just rename it to the hunger games. It is actually amazing how much stress this puts on students. You are competing with however many students in the school for a limited number of seats. In some cases, you log on the day before you register and there's 1 seat left in the class you want. Awesome. Every school has their own way of setting up of who registers when, but no matter what it is STRESSFUL. The stakes are high and the tolerance is very low during class registration season, and may the odds be in your favor.

1. Getting that email from your advisor that says "Class registration information."


2. Trying to go and book an appointment with your advisor, but all their appointments are full.

3. FINALLY getting to see your advisor and begging them to tell you what you actually need to take.

 

4. A week before your time ticket and you start making the perfect schedule cause there are actually seats left.

5. But then logging in a few days later and having to change every single class because all the seats just disappeared.

6. When your friends want you to be in the same class as them, but there are 3 of you and 2 seats left in the class.

7. The night before you are supposed to register and you write down back up courses like a mad man in case you don't get into your first choices.

8. Waking up the morning of registration.

9. Waiting for the clock to hit the time that you are supposed to register.

10. What banner probably says when the clock strikes registration time.

Now, there are two ways registration can go.

11a. When you get into your classes with no problem and go straight to bed.

OR

11b. When you have to sprint all the way across campus to advising because you got into ZERO classes.

But everyone goes through these next steps

12. A few hours later when you start comparing schedules with your friends and you don't have any classes with them.

13. And then you try to switch in but the class is full.

No matter how your registration experience went, this is how we all felt afterwards.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
