It is almost everyone's favorite time of the year. The semester is almost over. Time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, if you have not lost your boots already and get your life together. In light of one semester ending, another one must begin soon. I have attended three colleges throughout my time in undergraduate and graduate school. A small one, a medium one, and the biggest one in the state I live in. They were all really different. My experiences at each school was VERY different. But one thing between the three schools stayed the same... Registering for classes each semester sucked. Therefore, here are the nine questions college kids have for schools regarding registering for classes.

1. Why make it such a difficult process?

I really just do not understand why signing up for classes for the next semester has to be so difficult. Why are there so many steps? Who even made this process to begin with? There surely has to be a better way to do this.

2. Why is the professor's rate my professor score not next to the class name?

Y'all know it exists, and you know professors read them. It would make my search so much easier if they were included with other class information. I would not make a perfect schedule just to look and see that the professor is horrible so I need to change my entire schedule around. Sometimes flipping between the seventy-two tabs I have open is quite near impossible.

2. Why are there so many registration dates?

I get it there cannot be one because just like the Wifi, the server sucks too. But why is it so dang difficult to find out a date and time I can register for my classes? I am really just trying to get this over with.

3. Why do I have to speak with an advisor when normally they do not listen to me anyways?

You have to admit most advisors suck. All they do is tell you to follow your degree plan and sign off after going out of your way to talk to them for at least thirty minutes. You are in college, pretty sure you can read a degree plan on your own. If you could not maybe you deserve to stay in college for a little bit longer. Advisors typically do not care what you want to do with your life until you are a senior in college or in graduate school. What is the point of them anyways? If I wanted help from a professor about my future profession or my degree, I could just go ask them myself. Why is this mandatory?

4. Why is a class required for me to graduate if y'all only offer it once every decade?

Now this is what really gets my blood boiling. We all know all most colleges want is your money and this just seems like they want to keep you around forever. You think they would keep up with how many people need it and when they planned on graduating, and then base that off if they are holding the class or not.

5. Also, why is a class required for me to graduate if it is only ever so often and there are only five people allowed in the class?

This is annoying too. You finally see the class you need to take just to see that only five seats are available, and that is before anyone registers. No. They know more than five people need to take it. Do not make us fight for those seats, because honestly we might.

6. Why do I have a mini panic attack every semester when I am about to log on to register?

Literally without fail. I have done this what feels like a thousand times now and every semester makes it feel like a freshman again hoping nothing happens, because I am just trying to get into these classes and go to sleep.

7. Why do we have to go through so many steps sometimes just to register for classes we want to take?

We want to take these classes. Just let us sign up for them. Why do we need to email the department head and get approval? Or get an override into the class from the department head or professor? Literally it is so stupid. Just let us freaking take them because you are making it difficult.

8. Why do I feel like I won the lottery when I actually get into classes I wanted?

Nothing like the feeling of getting into the classes you wanted and needed with a perfect (or not so perfect) schedule. It should not feel like this when I am able to sign up for classes.

9.Why must we go through this process every single semester?

It gets a little out of hand. Why cannot we just sit down our freshman year or one year and plan out the rest of our time in college by the semester if we want? That should be an option! Doing this and going through the motions every single semester gets a little more than chaotic.

With that being said, good luck registering for classes for next semester and all your future semester friends.
