The most wonderful time of the semester.... finals week. How prepared are you?

1. The initial realization that finals are this week.

2. Then realizing how you haven't paid attention all semester.

3. And suddenly you remember how you have two projects and three papers due as well.

4. So you have a little break down.

5. Then you tell yourself you’re going to get your shit together.

6. Studying starts to get really intense.

7. But then you realize you could use a little break.

8. I mean, after all, you deserve it right?

9. And breaks mean having a small snack…

10. And snacks mean watching some Netflix….

11. But then you’re 5 episodes deep into a brand new series.

12. And suddenly you’ve finished three seasons.

13. And then you break down. Again.

14. But now it’s time for some serious studying.

15. So you take 6 shots of expresso and a five-hour energy.

16. And now you’re struggling to stay awake.

17. You start to cry because you’ve procrastinated this much.

18. Then everything starts to distract you.

19. And you do absolutely anything to procrastinate.

20. Like updating everyone else on Twitter that you’ve procrastinated.

21. Then it’s hit you: you need serious help.

22. So you try to study again, your last fatal attempt.

23. But you look at the clock.

24. And it’s 4am so you accept defeat.

25. Then you wake up two hours later, overtired and nothing to show for it.

26. You realize you don’t even care anymore.

27. But you’ve decided to promise yourself you’re never going to procrastinate again.

28. But in reality you know that’s never actually going to change.

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.
