Class Registration Struggles

The most dreaded time of the semester

Class Registration Struggles
STASHED

It's that time of the semester again - registering for classes. Everyone spends weeks perfecting their schedules with exactly the right professor and times for optimal hours of sleep and amount of course work. The only thing in the way is the actual registering. No school's servers are ever ready for the amount of students trying to register. I have spent a minimum of two hours trying to register every single time. Everyone is racing against their peers for the best schedule, and it is a major cause of frustration for all. Here's the struggle of registering for classes as told through gifs

Researching professors

Gotta find the best professor

Making your schedule

Time to sit down and write it all out

Re-making your schedule because your first one wasn't perfect

You'll spend hours making possible schedules

Waiting for your registration day

When will the day arrive?

Waiting for your registration time on said day

I constantly check the clock

Racing to log on to your registration site

Nothing prepares you for the rush of adrenaline as you try to log in

The face you make when the wifi is super slow

Well...you try to log in. And then it takes ten minutes (or more) for the website to load

How the servers feel trying to handle all the students registering

But really, why hasn't a server been developed yet to handle all the traffic on registration days?

When the class you wanted has no more spots but you have to keep going on with your life

Mourn the loss of your perfect schedule, and then move on and keep registering. You can cry later

Trying to get the rest of the classes you want

Waitlists upon waitlists

Finally finishing registering

Time to let out a huge sigh of relief

Watching everyone else struggle to register after you

Psh, that wasn't too bad.


Happy Registering!

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:

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.
