That One Dreadful Class this Semester

It won't last forever.

That One Dreadful Class this Semester

I know you aren’t trying to hurt me. I know you aren’t trying to put me in pain. But I can’t help but think that in some ways, you are. When I signed up for this class, I didn’t think you’d be so terrible. I thought, “why not give it a chance,” and that’s exactly what I am doing. But to my dismay, this semester may be harder than I thought it would be.

Every semester there is a class that you as a student are enrolled in that you are a little worried about. Without a doubt, this is almost every semester. Sometimes classes that we think are going to be great turn out to be sort of mediore or worst-case-scenario: extremely boring.

Being challenged by a class, subject, or professor is one battle. But being bored and falling asleep is another.

These classes come in many shapes and sizes. They can be lectures, seminars, web-based, or small group classes. They can be taught by professors or doctors. The subjects range from social work, politics, basic video, dance, art history, calculus, biblical studies, and so on. Any course you can think of can be a dreadful course to someone sitting around you.

I am writing this today because it is something that every student comes across and I want to tell you one thing: make the best of it. Each class has something new to teach you, things that you might need one day without even realizing it.

Although they are hard to sit through, try to really be in the class while you’re there. Maybe it’s once a week, twice a week, or three times a week, but try to be as present as you can. This will only benefit you at the end of the day.

Remember that pain doesn’t last forever. Suffering is not eternal. Suffering is probably a strong word for these classes, but I know sometimes it can feel like you are suffering in misery. Waiting. Just waiting for the clock to speed up. Waiting. Just waiting for the professor to stop talking.

The spring semester started here at Seton Hall, and I can say there is one class I am going to dread going to every week. But on the contrary, I am also interested –somewhat- in the topic. In my case, I am lucky for this “somewhat” interest. But there are plenty of classes that you will have zero interest in, so try to make them interesting for you. See if you can focus on one part of the class that you might actually be able to use later in life, it could be a specific chapter or topic within the class.

Remember that you only have this class, in most cases, for one semester.

Just one semester!

You can make it through that.

You’re awesome.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
