11 Wonders Of The College World That Will Take Your Breath Away Like Looking At The Taj Mahal

Waking up to an email that says class is canceled definitely rivals the view of the Taj Mahal. College students dream of canceled classes, nap breaks and saving money wherever possible. These things are so incredible and few and far between, that we can easily consider them our own college world wonders.

1. Student discounts

Giphy

Free soft drink with student ID? Yes, please. Also, thank you Spotify, Hulu and Showtime for only charging me five dollars a month for your much needed uses.

2. Canceled class

3. No final exam

Giphy

Dear professor that does't think it's necessary to test us on everything we've supposedly learned the last four months, thank you. Sincerely, every college student.

4. Getting out of class early

Giphy

When the professor just stops talking and starts packing their things up when you still have thirty minutes of lecture left and you ask yourself if this is even real, because how could anything so great happen to you?

5. Open book exams

Giphy

Basically saying, "everyone gets an A". No complaints here.

6. Homemade meals (made by anyone, but ourselves)

Giphy

Going home and your mom makes your favorite meal for dinner because she knows all you eat is frozen pizza and day old pasta.

7. Free stuff

Giphy

You're giving away shirts just for attempting ring toss? I'll take one. Free popcorn if I sign your petition? Um, yeah sure I'll sign twice.

8. No textbook required

Giphy

Number one, a couple hundred dollars saved. Number two, minimal reading assignments.

9. Game day

Giphy

Just a reason to wear super cute school apparel and pre game the football game all day with your besties. I'll take this perfect storm any Saturday.

10. No short answer

Giphy

This means I have a twenty-five percent chance of getting every question right. Nice.

11. Attendance not required

Giphy

You're telling me that I don't have to show up to this eight am class and I can still pass with an A? Could anything ever be greater than this?

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.
