A Real Look at Registering for Classes

Anyone who has had to wake up for registration knows how absolutely miserable the process it is. You roll out of bed at 6:05 after you snooze through roughly 20 alarms set at 5 minute increments. You go into panic mode when you realize you can't find your sheet from advisement appointment with your RAN. You finally track down your sheet, wait 30 minutes for WINGS to load,  and start going into the registration process. 

The night before all of this, you meticulously plan out every class you want with the right teacher and the right time. "Of course I'll be the only one who will want a 2:30 MW class with 4 seats left out of 500," you tell yourself. 

Unfortunately,  it's not actually a thing. Everyone wants that class so now you are stuck in 1 of your 5 "perfect classes" and are scrambling to avoid getting stuck with an 8 am MWF class with an extremely strict attendance policy and an extremely boring topic like Legal Analysis of Purple Spotted Tree Frogs. You manage to fill up a 12-hour schedule so you can still qualify as a full-time student and have class from 8 am until 10 pm Monday through Friday.   

You roll back to sleep after accepting your fate of working on your schedule every morning in the offices of your dream professors during Drop/Add week.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
