I think that everyone who has ever taken a train on Long Island would agree that a lot of thoughts go through your head throughout your time traveling on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). Anyone who considers themselves a frequent rider has at least one absolutely wild Long Island Rail Road story. Here are a few thoughts that usually accompany you on the average ride on the LIRR.

1. I hope I'm not late for my train.

2. Wow, the train is so late.

3. Is this train even coming?

4. What time is the train supposed to get here?

5. Did the MTA cancel my train?

6 Finally! The train is here.

7. If I'm late I'm suing.

8. Yikes, it looks crowded in there.

9. I will kill someone with my bare hands for a seat.

10. Oh no, there are absolutely no seats.

11. I guess I'll just have to sit next to someone.

12. I really don't want to talk to anyone.

13. Do I really want to sit next to someone?

14. Oh well, I guess I'll just stand.

15. Wow, my feet hurt.

16. Um, why are we stopping?

17. Oh no, the train's broken...

18. I'm never getting to Penn Station

19. I hope they don't collect tickets today

20. Conductor: "All tickets please!"

21. Never mind...

22. I wonder if they ever try to punch holes in the tickets like Tom Hanks in "The Polar Express."

23. Why'd the conductor give me my ticket back?

24. Oh no. Do I have to transfer at Jamaica?

25. Help, I have no idea what I'm doing.

26. SOS!

27. Oh wait, I bought a round trip.

28. Wow, I played myself.

29. Are we there yet?

30. Wow, the skyline looks cool.

31. Here comes the tunnel.

32. Ouch, my ears hurt.

33. Pretends to chew gum

34. That’s better.

35. Finally, we’re here.

36. I hope the ride home is better.

37. Okay, so when the track number comes up, I’ll make a break for it.

38. I’m ready

39. There it is! Track 19! GO GO GO!

40. I hope I don’t fall down the stairs.

41. Open the train doors already!

42. I got a seat! Now I can relax

43. I hope no one sits next to me.

44. Don’t do it.

45. Ugh, I thought I would have a seat all by myself.

46. Oh well, I’ll just put my headphones in and hope that no one talks to me

47. Please stp talking to me. I have my headphones in.

48. How many stops until Mineola?

49. Did they just say next stop Huntington?

50. I definitely missed my stop.

51. Never mind. False alarm.

52. Gotta get my stuff ready so that I can get out before the doors close.

53. What if I just stayed on and never left?

54. Made it to Mineola! Bye everyone!

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.
