It's that wonderful time of the year again. The leaves are falling and pumpkin spiced lattes are back. No, I am not referring to Christmas. It's officially college registration time! Yay! Obviously, nothing else matters right?

1. The Person Who Has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA What They're Doing

AKA the person who signs up for unnecessary classes due to their fear of academic advisors. (Psssttt...we're here to help you). So instead of signing up for an unreasonable courseload (and potentially adding a few semesters to your graduation), please go see an academic advisor. Yes, I mean you, Hunter College first years. No, no, your uncles, daughters, nephews, and cousins who went to Hunter College 13 years ago cannot advise you.

2. The Person Who Waits On Final Grades To See What Classes They Can Take

Alright so here goes. People- You can sign up for classes BEFORE you get your final grade. There's something called a "conditional pre-req" meaning that you can sign up for the next level course if you meet the requirements at the end of the term. You're welcome. No, I am not lying to you.

3. The Person Who Keeps Logging Onto CUNYFirst Every 10 Seconds To See If It's Their Turn To Register

AKA me (and some other friends I know). So your registration time is 10:30 a.m perhaps. But you make sure you're logged in and ready to go at 8:45 a.m. Get the picture? Yeah, so...no. This year my registration time was 9:15 a.m and I logged in at 9:15 and was finished registering by 9:19 a.m. Logging in early doesn't earn you brownie points or extra credit. It does give you anxiety. What's the worst that can happen? Oh you know... your connection could expire and if you go to *cough cough* Hunter College your internet connection might suddenly decide to be a jerk.

4. That Person Who Signs Up Late AND Tries To Bribe Others To Give Up Their Seat for a few $$$

First of all- Thank you for letting your ENTIRE cohort know that you're privileged. Secondly, no you may not have MY seat for the class I've been waiting to take since freshman year just because YOU decided you could wait. My education is just as important as yours (if not more so). Goodbye.

5. The One Who Could Care Less

You see all your friends freaking out because Chem 104 or Bio 100 with that AMAZING professor is closed. But do you care? No. Not at all. You're chilling, having fun, while your friends hopelessly meander to the chem department hoping to over-tally. You could use an extra semester to build that 4.0. Perhaps you're looking to expand your circle once all your friends graduate.

P.S I personally have NEVER met anyone like this at Hunter.

6. The One Who Has A 4-Year Plan...That Gets Dubiously Debunked Due To A Class Being Closed

Let's just say I've dealt with this myself. I saw my little freshman hopes crushed when I couldn't sign up for certain classes. And hey I made it! (Almost). So it isn't the end of the world. Take another class.

7. The One Who Is Already Stressing About Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 Registration

Seriously. Yes. You. You've made me speechless. I have no words for you.

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.
