The Struggles Of Scheduling Classes

Scheduling classes can be rough sometimes.

The Struggles Of Scheduling Classes

It's that time of the year again... time to schedule classes and sometimes that can suck

1. Figuring out the classes you should take this semester

Thankfully there are degree audits and advisors. The degree audits show what you have left to take to get your degree. And your advisor should be there to help you make the decisions as to what to take.

2. Finding time to meet with your advisor

Finding time to meet with your advisor sucks when you have a lot of homework, exams, and club events. But making time to talk to your advisor is best.

3. Choosing your classes

Choosing your classes after meeting with your advisor can be interesting. Sometimes what you want to take is different than what you should take to stay on track to graduate.

4. Getting shut out of a class

Sometimes classes fill up super quickly and it sucks being the one on the end of being on the waiting list.

5. Trying to get in a class you are on the waiting list for

Sometimes when you are on a waitlist, you manage to get into that class and sometimes not. If you don't get in by the time classes start, it is sometimes hard to get in. Some professors will be alright with letting you in a class and others will not let you in.

6. Re-doing your schedule

When you don't get into a class that you need or want, sometimes you have to re-arrange your schedule. that can be hard sometimes.

7. If you happen to fail or not do well in a class....

If you happen to not do well in a class, you will have to take it over, and it is hard to do when you already have your schedule set for next semester

8. re-doing your schedule again.

Re-doing your schedule again is not the best thing in the world. But you may end up with a good schedule.

My advice to younger students is to try your best to get into the classes you want, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. And a bit of advice, it gets easier to schedule the higher you go up in ranking.

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.

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.
