40 Frustrations Every College Student Feels When They Schedule Classes

NBC Universal

I think we can all agree that scheduling classes can be one of the biggest pains in your butts. There is so much thinking and planning that goes into it that it's hard to focus on any other task when you have this hanging over your head.

You need to make an advising appointment because you don't even know what classes you need to take. When you get to the meeting, you realize how many more classes you need to take and that stresses you out because now you don't know if you're going to graduate on time.

It's just a huge, long process that none of us really want to go through.

1. "I don't want to take any class before 9 a.m."

2. "Oh, this is the only one offered?"

3. "I guess I will be taking a class before 9 a.m."

4. "I wonder if there's an online class for this course."

5. "Of course, there isn't."

6. "Maybe I should meet with my advisor again."

7. "Am I going to graduate on time?"

8. "I'm supposed to graduate in a year, why do I have so many classes to take still?"

9. "I wish I took more classes in previous semesters."

10. "I should call my mom."

11. "Do I really want to take 18 credit hours next semester?"

12. "I'm doing this for my degree."

13. "I will get that diploma."

14. "I wish my major had block scheduling."

15. "I still have to do Gen Eds?!"

16. "Maybe I should just drop out."

17. "This is too much pressure."

18. "I love courses that only offer one time slot."

19. "No need to use Rate My Professor now."

20. "I need more options."

21. "My schedule is going to suck."

22. "Oh, great, these classes are at the exact same time."

23. "And they're both only offered in the spring."

24. "What am I supposed to do now?"

25. internally screams out of frustration

26. "I also need to make time for my internship and job."

27. "I don't even know when I'm going to have time for either."

28. "This is one choppy schedule."

29. "I should take a course over the summer."

30. "Then I won't need 19 credits next semester."

31. "But I'll be working full-time over the summer."

32. "I guess I'll make it work."

33. "Now I need to look into that."

34. "When will it end?"

35. "I just want it to be winter break."

36. "I hope the server doesn't crash when I schedule."

37. "Or that any of these classes close before I get the chance to schedule."

38. "What if I have to do this all over again when I enroll?"

39. "I'll cry."

40. "I can't wait to get this done and not have to worry about it until the middle of spring semester."

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

25. internally screams out of frustration
