"Course request opens tonight." says my roommate walking out the door.

My head whips around in that terror that strikes through your body. AGAINNNNNNNNN????

Course request is more stressful then midterms.

Your classes for next semester affect everything: your professors, your possible grades, your time schedule, how much fun you can have on Thursday night, basically everything important.

Here are 10 thoughts that will go through your head during course request.

1. Why are Friday classes a thing?

Really... why can't we all have a three day weekend? It's only 4 years...

2. OK, but what did Koofers say?

Don't lie, we all do it. We look up which class were more likely to get an A in, or what professor doesn't require attendance. Sometimes, I look up which professors require books. #broke

3. Can I avoid 8 a.m.s... or maybe even 10 a.m.s?

No one wants to get up early, and if you do, teach me your ways. Coffee just isn't helping me.

4. Which classroom is closer to ABP?

Food. It always helps. Plus ABP can be healthy... right?

5. So... how can I get Friday classes?

Really, no Friday classes are the best thing in the whole entire world. However, we can't get this lucky every semester. There is a reason attendance goes down on Fridays.

6. Should my classes be back to back or spread out?

Serious question. It's hard to decide which is better. The spaces allow for work to get done.

7. Can I walk across campus in 15 minutes?

The answer is yes... IF you wear the eight shoes and really keep up the pace. Just don't expect a great seat.

8. *texts friend* Is this class easy?

This is really how it's done. Person to person communication is the most important aspect of course request. Why take a class you will bust your butt to get a C in when you can breeze easy, learn a lot, and get an A.

9. Why am I required to take this class?

Sometimes things just don't make sense.

10. WAITTTT?!?!?!?! I have to graduate early/late?

I can't decide which is worse.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
