Registering for classes is stressful, no matter what year you are. Here are some typical thoughts I imagine each student goes through during St. John’s registration.
Freshman Students:
“What the hell am I doing?”
Sophomore Students:
“These stupid upperclassmen are taking all the good classes.”
Junior Students:
“I have so many required classes for my major and minor left to take, and if I don’t get into them I’ll definitely die.”
Senior Students:
“Haha suckers, I don’t have to register! Oh wait…that’s actually terrifying…”
Each year we go through the same process, and it is this:
1. “I know registration is coming up…yeah that’s a later me problem.”
2. “I just got an email about making an appointment to register. I should probably get on that.”
3. “It’s been like two weeks. Get yourself together.”
4. “Okay, finally made my way to the office to make an appointment.”
5. “If I don’t write this down I’m totally going to forget what time I signed up for.”
6. “Whoa, they sent me an email reminder. Thank God.”
7. “Okay so I have to pick between all these classes. That can’t be so bad, right?”
8. “Wrong.”
9. “Ugh I already have a class at 10:40 on Monday/Thursday, but this class is then too…”
10. “I swear to God I refuse to take that 7:30 class.”
11. “Wrong.”
12. “I’ll never make it to class. Why is this happening to me?” (Unless you’re a senior, then you might appreciate that it’ll prepare you to get up for a “real job”)
13. “Okay, I can do this.”
14. “No I can’t.”
15. “Yes I can.”
16. “Alright let’s go see if the schedule I made still has seats remaining.”
17. “Literally. One. Seat. Left.”
18. “Okay, zero seats left. Great.”
19. “Now I have to start all over again.”
20. “I still somehow have this 7:30 in my schedule…”
21. “I REGISTER IN 15 MINUTES WHERE IS MY LAPTOP CHARGER.”
22. “Oh there it is. Chill out.”
23. “CRN numbers are the best things ever invented.”
24. “DONE. I DID IT.”
25. “Thought I was going to have to take a semester off for a little bit there…”
26. “I feel so accomplished wow.”
27. “I hope these teachers are going to be awesome.”
28. “I’m ready for a change of schedule, literally.”
29. “Just get through finals.”
30. “I’m actually excited for next semester.” (Seniors: “I’m ready to take on the world.“)
