8 Things I Think About During Course Registration

However, life isn’t fair, so I’ll be taking a class that means absolutely nothing to me.

The semester is finally over. It’s really exciting knowing that freedom is only a few weeks away. But before you’re free, you must go through two “fights to the death”: registering for classes and finals week.

1. YAY THE SEMESTER IS ALMOST OVER!

Oh, so optimistic. The world seems so much brighter when you know that your torture is soon to be ended. Just like all of your motivation for finals.

2. Please, Lord, don’t let me have an 8 A.M. again. Please.

If I could just get a class that starts around 11 A.M., then I promise you, I will wake up like a new person. Waking up at 6:30 A.M. makes me feel like that world is a sad place, but once I get out of bed at 9 A.M., the world is wonderful and nothing can go wrong.

3. The university hates me.

I have decent grades and I have a good amount credits. I always feel like I am registering decades after all of my friends.

4. What classes do I need to make sure I graduate on time?

The whole point of college is to graduate. Hopefully to graduate on time. All I can think about is this perfect schedule that is all lined up for me every semester. However, life isn’t fair so I’ll be taking a class that means absolutely nothing to me.

5. THIS CLASS I NEED ONLY HAS THREE SEATS LEFT.

All I want is to take this pre-req. for all the other classes I need. So please, for the love that is all good, someone change their mind, so I can get this class.

6. This looks like a fun class.

I like that we have a chance to pick classes outside of the major. If I want to take JUGGLING534, then I can, and it would be a wonderful time.

7. IT’S TIME.

I’ve been refreshing the same screen for five minutes because my time to register is in 40 minutes. I need to make sure I have my time.

8. It’s finally over.

The stress of trying to race for the good classes and professors is over. Now, we just wait. This is when I get really excited for next semester. But right around the corner, finals week waves at you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
