Registration Begins!

So today marks the first day to register for spring semester classes! I can't believe it ...this semester JUST started. It is always a war-zone trying to get green-lighted and then allowed to let in to some classes before it gets filled up and after.

Luckily I am one of the first to choose. Normally I got my schedule down pat and my advisor just checks it off. But this time I actually needed help. I will admit in all of my college career, i've been a bit of an over-achiever. always taking the max. credits possible.

But this time I am taking the semester easy and taking the min. amount. Only because this coming fall there may be something exciting happening and I HAVE to spread my last few credits out. But I won't say what yet...I don't want to jinx it.

But picking the last few classes of your college career sucks! because a lot of them are the boring difficult ones that make you want to tear your hair out especially since you're taking 4 of those kinds at the same time.

And since i love to sleep and have to make room for my jobs, I am restricted to classes because of their time slots so therefore all my classes are mushed into 3 days :(

Anyways I am glad its over with...hopefully my teachers aren't hard... I usually check ratemyprofessor.com but a lot of my classes had the TBA under instructor. -.- 

My Advice for Class Registration:

  1. Know what you're required to take for the year in July/Aug
  2. Your Advisor? Be their FRIEND! trust me you'll get perks and more attention.
  3. Be on top of the registration schedule 
  4. Have backups for those classes that get closed off early
  5. Use ratemyprofessor.com to sway you from professors get the REAL dirt from former students.
  6. Know what the classes are so you don't schedule the crappy ones all in one semester. You want to stay motivated & not want to quit after the first exams! 


Anyone else having registration?
