12 Times ‘The Office’ Described The Hell That Is Registering For Classes

As if classes themselves weren't hard enough.

It's that time of the semester once again. Before we can trudge through finals and make it to summer, we have to get through another week of hell: advising sessions and class registration. All the stress of the looming finals week PLUS the added anxiety of trying to figure out whether you'll graduate on time, so much fun, guys!

1. You're still in Spring Break mode

Why is there even class after Spring Break?

2. Finding out you have 4 advisers and they're all emailing to meet with you...

I don't have time for this!!!

3. ...but literally none of them are available when you are

How many students are you even advising?

4. You finally score an advising session

But you have to skip one of your classes to go to it.

5. Looking at DegreeWorks to TRY and prepare

Oops, wow, I completely forgot about Natural Sciences. Wait, what do you mean I have that many credits left to take?!

6. "So you have no idea what classes to take next semester...?"

No, that is your job to tell me.

7. Finding out you have to take a ton of difficult classes at the same time to stay on track

Calc and stats and legal studies, oh my!

8. When one class you need has a million prerequisites you haven't taken yet

Are half of these even necessary for the class??

9. Starting to build a schedule and the only available sections of your classes will cause you to be on campus for 13 hours

Not like I have somewhere else to be or anything.

10. Checking all the class section professors on RateMyProfessor

And all of them have 1-2 stars, it's fine, I'm fine.

11. Sorting through all your options and figuring out the perfect schedule

If I'm gonna be on campus all day, might as well throw some time in between classes for naps and food!

12. When you find out your registration time is at 7 a.m.

ANY other time at all would have been fine. Who the hell is up at 7 a.m.?

11. Rushing and/or panicking to get into all of your classes when

Being in college is tough, y'all.

12. When you get your schedule and don't have to worry about anything else ever again

Or at least until next semester.

Godspeed, friends.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
