I can’t even begin to express how important the day you get to pick your classes for the next year is. You see, this small act of typing a few numbers into your computer has the ability to control your happiness for entire the semester to follow. It may seem to you that I’m making this whole process out to seem much more crucial than it truly is, however, this is no exaggeration.
The moment you pick your classes, you are determining countless aspects of your life. You have to take into consideration what time you want to wake up, when you want to have lunch, whether or not you want to have breaks between your classes, how much homework you can handle each week, what your major requires you to take, how late you want to have classes until, how the professors you are choosing teaches, and (last but certainly not least) whether or not you can find a way to avoid Friday classes. Unfortunately, even if you can manage to make the perfect schedule, tending to each of the above factors, you still have to pray to the schedule gods for your classes not to fill up before you get to sign up.
The day of picking you schedule is the worst. You find yourself constantly lo
oking at the clock, counting down the minutes until you can log into the program (which, by the way, makes the time go by even slower). Also, you can’t stop yourself from constantly checking the seats available list; just to make sure that’s there’s still room for you in your classes. If the number is smaller than the last time you checked then you freak out because some how you have rationalized that the last 12 seats are going to fill up in the next 15 minutes. Even worst, if the number is the same as the last time you checked than you begin to wonder how long it has been since the list was updated and you start to question whether the class has been filled.
But, on the bright side, if you manage to overcome all of these obstacles you may find yourself with Fridays off, time to each lunch, and a lot less stressed out than some of your friends.
