1. What are my requirements again?

20 Thoughts All Villanovans Have While Registering
Villanova University

If you're anything like me, registering for classes can be quite a headache. Although we are far from the days of having to physically line up to enroll in courses, there is still a fair amount of frustration that goes into preparing for the next semester. Say, for instance, you're studying abroad and you have to set an alarm for 2:30 AM to register (this, of course, is from personal experience).

It seems unanimous - regardless of what school you go to, registering is stressful. Whether it be getting the right time slots, the right professor, or simply getting the classes you need to graduate on time, registration usually begins in some form of anxiety.

Before registration:

1. What are my requirements again?

It can be difficult to remember all of those general requirements and pre-recs. Especially when you're a liberal arts student, it seems that there is a never-ending pipeline of social sciences.

2. Who changed Schedulr, and why?

I need answers.

3. Does this count as a diversity?

Which diversity is which? 1, 2, or 3? How many diversities do I have? How many do I need? Of each? Ugh, dis too much.

4. What does "Philosophy of Women" actually mean?

I'm enrolled, so I guess tbd.

5. How many schedules should I make before I realize all of my classes are full?

Probably five for good measure, right? Just to know what it would be like to have an ideal lifestyle.

6. Oh, all of my classes are full!

*contemplates switching majors* I mean honestly, I'm still finding myself! Who needs a "track" when their twenty?! (I do. I need the track. Give me my classes.)

7. I should make a schedule with horrible timing and random electives.

It's random, fun, and generally ridiculous. And yet, the reality.

During Registration:

8. I hope my PIN works.

9. I hope my PIN works.

10. I hope my PIN works.

11. Why the hell is my PIN not working.

*anxiety sets in*

12. *On screen that reroutes to emergency contact information* So this is definitely not where I need to be.

It's always a good reminder to know you have your emergency contact information down. Just not at 2:32 AM when you're trying to register for Rhetoric of Social Justice.

13. All of my classes are gonna be gone.

It's nice to think about taking an additional semester to finish your major requirements. Oh wait, nope. That's terrifying.

14. *Registers* Wait, not all of my classes are gone!

There is hope! A timely graduation! Good electives! Nice professors!

After Registration

15. A weight has been lifted off of my shoulders

The stress of scheduling takes it's toll, but man does it feel good to have it done.

16. Well, I hope my classes are close!

17. Realizing I have to walk from Bartley to Garey... not ideal.

Gonna get those steps in though #fitbitchallenge.

18. Who's in my classes? Any friends?

19. Ah, no friends!

20. Time to make new ones!

Every class at Villanova has at least produced one solid friend. This is something I always look forward to.

So, let's be thankful registration is over and that we can move onto bigger and better things! Namely, Thanksgiving. Then partially, Finals.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
