Thoughts You Have When Signing Up For Classes

Signing up for classes has to be one the most stressful parts about college. There are so many problems that come with registering that really bring out the worst in people. But as you get older, it does get better. Here are some thoughts that you have probably come across when signing up for classes.

Freshman Year:

As a freshman, you have lowest priority—so even though you want your schedule to be perfect with no Friday classes and all of your classes in a neat row, you quickly find out the struggles that comes with you being one of the last groups of students that are allowed to register.

Sophomore Year:

Finally, you are not a freshman anymore! No need to worry about not getting the classes you want, at least that's what you think. Just as your time to register comes, someone with more credits than you comes in and steals the last spot in the class you have to take with your major. Oh well, guess you will have to wait till junior year to take that class!

Junior Year:

This is the year that the only people you are competing with in order to get a spot in your class are those who are in the same major as you. Especially those small classes for your major that only have a few spots in each class. It is a battle to see who will get those few spots. But you feel that you will be victorious since you are now an upperclassman and have high priority.

Senior Year:

You have no worries anymore. You are probably scheduled to register on the first day. You have none of the worries that you have had in years before. Because you know that soon enough, you won't have to worry about what class to register for next semester. Because now is the time where, instead, you are preparing for graduation!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
