Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

1. Wow, time to sign up for classes already!

2. Alright, one semester closer to graduation. Let's do this.

3. I already know exactly what I'm gonna take.

4. Ugh, I have an advising flag on my account.

5. Okay, no problem. I'll just email my adviser about getting it removed.

6. In the meantime, I'll add all my classes to my cart.

7. I'm only going to schedule myself for Tuesday/Thursday classes. I'll have so much extra time to be productive!

8. Why are all the classes I need for my major scheduled at the most inconvenient times?

9. I mean, I guess having a three-hour night class on Wednesday isn't the worst thing in the world.

10. Just kidding, I am already dreading it and it's still months away.

11. Alright, get it together. This is what being a responsible adult is about.

12. Oh wonderful. That class is already wait listed.

13. Maybe I should check Rate My Professor real fast.

14. On second thought, maybe I'll wait on that class until it's offered with a different professor.

15. I really shouldn't sign up for an 8 a.m.

16. And it's only offered at 8 a.m.

17. I'll be fine. I'll just have to keep myself motivated to go to class.

18. I feel like there should be an easier way to do this.

19. It's like they're trying to make us regret all our life choices.

20. I can handle 18 credits, right?

21. What am I gonna do for three hours between these classes?

22. This is literally the most inconvenient and unorganized class schedule in existence.

23. Whatever, I'll just use that break to study.

24. Now I just have to pray these classes don't fill up before my enrollment appointment.

25. Thank goodness I don't have to do this again for another six months.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
