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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
