Here I am, sitting on my couch, bopping between writing this article and scrolling through Tumblr, waiting for my pizza to get here so I can watch "13 Going On 30" for the 500th time and pass the F out.

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.
