Course selection is an incredibly stressful time of year for anyone involved. Between planning your perfect schedule and your less perfect backup schedules, there's not enough time to think about much else. What if you don't get into that microeconomics class with the professor who puts all their lectures on Elearn? Or that philosophy class with the super passionate professor and only three papers for the term? We put a bit of ourselves into planning our schedules because we want to maximize our potential for success. Here is the perfect way to describe this emotionally exhausting process, as told by the lovely characters of "The Office."

When someone tries to tell you about getting into all of their classes.

Versus when you get into all of your classes.

When you realize you have to take an 8 a.m. next semester.

Realizing that the dreaded day has finally come.

When you get placed into that class with the professor you've only heard bad things about.

Trying to make your four year plan with your advisor.

When you get into the class you wanted that only had one spot left.

When your friend is bragging about getting into a class, and you realize they're the one who took your spot.

When you get wait-listed for four out of five classes.

Having to drop that class you really wanted for a class you need to take.

When the WiFi goes out in the middle of course selection.

Seeing that one kid who's completely calm in the midst of the chaos.

Realizing how many courses you still need to take to graduate.

When the whole system crashes and nobody can select courses.

Telling yourself you're going to be OK with more than one 8 a.m.

Realizing you have to overload your courses to make your schedule work.

When it finally reaches the exact time you get to select your courses.

When it's all over and you realize everything has a way of working out in the end.
