Feelings You Experience in Your Major Classes

I love you. I hate you. I can't live without you.

Feelings You Experience in Your Major Classes
University of Rochester: Department of Political Science

I may have planned badly on my part. At first it seemed like a good idea, but now I'm starting to wonder if I did the right thing.

I decided to take only classes in my major this year.

In my defense, I'm a double major, so I'm not strictly taking one kind of class. But that still doesn't help my situation at all. There's nothing to break up my daily doses of what I'm getting my degree in. Nothing just to shake things up. Nothing that I don't have to worry about understanding fully because I won't necessarily need it in the future.

I'm terrified.

Whether you're currently drowning like me, or have already been there, done that, you understand the feelings associated with major classes.

First day, feeling fine. You're home now, where you'll be until you graduate. This building is your domain.

Oh, the syllabus? Let me look over all of the things I'll be so quick to pick up on, because, well, it's my major.

Oh? That book sounds kind of complicated. Ehh, I'm studying this for my living; I should get it.

Okay, lesson one! Let's get through this with ease.

Wait, what is this an example of? What is the professor even talking about?

How does this apply to anything in this class?

I have to have this wholebook read by the next class? I can barely understand it!

Do I really need this major? Is it that important to my success in this field?

Oh, wait, the professor tied it back. They brought it back to the original topic. I think get it now!

I love this major!

Wait, it's gonna be like this all year?

But through all of the tears of five classes of the same topic day after day, it's too bad I can't imagine myself doing anything else for the rest of my life.

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.
