3 Best Classes I've Ever Taken

As an undergrad, especially in your first two years, the worst thing that could happen to you is having a horrible teacher or realizing that you're not really interested in the subjects you once thought you were. As my second year at the University of South Florida is coming to an end, I've been reflecting on my first two years of college. It honestly went by so fast, but the most memorable parts are the classes I loved.

1. Sociology

Sociology is the study of human society. As a psychology major, not only am I interested in the working of the human mind and behavior but through sociology, I found that I also enjoyed learning about the way in which our psyche and behaviors affect society as a whole. I was especially interested in the sections of sociology that involved crime, and the societal pressures that lead some to live a life of crime and others not to. Taking this course helped me come to the realization that I'm very interested in criminal psychology, and largely influenced by the interest in becoming a Forensic Psychiatrist.

2. Bio 2

First thing first, I completely hated Bio 1. Yes, I know I want to be a doctor, but learning all this cell respiration cycle and DNA replications stuff. It was just so overwhelming. I was really scared for Bio 2 but was happy when I found I really enjoyed it. Bio 2 is about animals and evolution.If you're an animal lover like me, I think you would really enjoy this class. Especially if you like the weird prehistoric ones, like in Discover Channel documentaries, those come up a lot in this class.

3. Chem 2

I know how crazy it is to like a science class; however, like Bio 1 - I also really struggled with Chem 1. I was nervous for Chem 2, but I was also determined to do anything I had to get an A. Turns out, I didn't have to do much. Chem 2 is mostly math, and I really get math. I believe that applying math to chemistry in Chem 2, really gave me a better foundation for chemistry in Orgo 1. I found it very easy to past this class. Granted, I had a great professor.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
