As if mid-semester stress with heavy work loads isn’t enough, college students all feel additional pressure around class registration time. Registration is the point in the semester when students already have to plan out the next few months of their lives and pray that they get the classes they need. Most days it feels like the reaping from the Hunger Games – you patiently wait and hope that class registration can finally go your way. For some students, this can come easily, especially if you have a early registration time. But, for other who are not as well prepared, there can be some strugglin’.
Here are 12 struggles that every college student faces during registration time:
12. Being an upper class-men that has to register with the freshman. Sometimes, your credits don’t add up and sometimes your school just doesn’t understand that you are no longer in your first year of college.
11. Classes fill up too fast. It’s like you’re fighting against the masses for that one Spanish class that isn’t at 8 in the morning, but when all other options are taken it looks like that’s the one you’re signing up for.
10. Having a Plan A is hard enough, but faculty suggest Plans B & C. Often, advisors tell you to have backup plans. These are here to ensure that if your first plan doesn’t work out (and there’s a 75% chance it might not), you have back ups. So, now you’re sitting in bed with empty time sheets trying to set up three different schedules.
