Thoughts You Have When Signing Up For Classes

Signing up for classes has to be one the most stressful parts about college. There are so many problems that come with registering that really bring out the worst in people. But as you get older, it does get better. Here are some thoughts that you have probably come across when signing up for classes.

Freshman Year:

As a freshman, you have lowest priority—so even though you want your schedule to be perfect with no Friday classes and all of your classes in a neat row, you quickly find out the struggles that comes with you being one of the last groups of students that are allowed to register.

Sophomore Year:

Finally, you are not a freshman anymore! No need to worry about not getting the classes you want, at least that's what you think. Just as your time to register comes, someone with more credits than you comes in and steals the last spot in the class you have to take with your major. Oh well, guess you will have to wait till junior year to take that class!

Junior Year:

This is the year that the only people you are competing with in order to get a spot in your class are those who are in the same major as you. Especially those small classes for your major that only have a few spots in each class. It is a battle to see who will get those few spots. But you feel that you will be victorious since you are now an upperclassman and have high priority.

Senior Year:

You have no worries anymore. You are probably scheduled to register on the first day. You have none of the worries that you have had in years before. Because you know that soon enough, you won't have to worry about what class to register for next semester. Because now is the time where, instead, you are preparing for graduation!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
