Registering For Classes As Told By A USC Student

A very stressful process.

Registering For Classes As Told By A USC Student
USC

It's that time of the semester! Classes are finally wrapping up and final exams are just around the corner. As if you aren't stressed out enough already, your class registration date for the upcoming semester is also quickly approaching.

It is a week before you need to register for classes. A few things to consider:

-What classes do I HAVE to take for my major?
-What GE's do I have left again?
-Hmm how can I schedule this so that I don't have Friday classes?
-Is it possible to take classes with my friends?

It is the day of your registration and you have mapped out the PERFECT schedule.

However, when you check online half of the classes you want to take are already full. So, you map out your "second" schedule and hope for the best.

-Can I still avoid Friday classes?
-Does this GE at least have an OK professor?

It is both the day and the time of your registration.

You click submit and it "fails" because the second round of classes you want are also full. You decide to only register for your major classes because thankfully you have D-Clearance. You continue checking daily, more like hourly, to see if any of the classes you want open up. No luck.

It is now winter break and you still are only registered for 12 units or so.

Your parents begin to question you as to why you don't have a full schedule and why you can't just take a Friday class. They just don't understand.

Winter break is ending and you still have only registered for 12 units.

Luckily, in my experience at least, students begin to panic about their schedules and drop/add classes. Finally! A spot in the Tuesday/Thursday lecture has opened up! You press submit as quickly as humanly possible. You get the last spot. SUCCESS!

Classes begin and the stress regarding registration quickly fades.

Before you know it finals are approaching and so is your class registration for the upcoming semester...

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.
