My registration journey as told by gifs

Hello people of the internet! As of 6:07 am I am officially enrolled for the fall semester of 2014! The most stressful part of the registration process was not deciding to retake a class I had failed in my first semester but getting registered in the first place. You see, learning from last semester  I thought I'd be smart and wake up at 11:57 so I could  get on the registration site and register before all the good time slots were taken.

(Signing up early! Singing up early!)
But I got as far as the log in page before I realized that everyone on campus had the same idea.

(I thought the website would be like this at the time)
(When in actuality it was more like this.)


"But, hey, no worries." I thought with glee. "I'll just keep hitting refresh button until it clears up."
So I did that and waited


And waited


And waited some more.


I was starting to get discouraged when suddenly I got pass the log in page and to the class search section!


I had never been so happy! Eagerly, I scrolled through the course selection, my spirits touching the stratosphere until this happened to my screen:


On the outside I was like this:



But on the inside I was like this:


And wanted to do all of this:



But, by some grace of God, I kept back my violent urges and decided to go to bed and try to register  in the morning.


But as I started to drift off into a peaceful slumber doubts and worries about classes that start at 8:00 pm and night time strolls across an empty potentially-predator-filled  campus started to whisper in the back of my mind.


It seemed the more I tried to ignore them the louder and more obnoxious those worries seemed to get.


Oh I put up a valiant struggle for my beauty rest but in the end I succumbed to the pressure and went back to my laptop.


And when I still couldn't get in I wanted to do this:


But then I got an amazing idea that maybe I could get through using the 4G on my cell phone since the college's WiFi was so crowded.
 
But what I thought was:


Turned out to be:


When I realized that it doesn't matter how fast a WiFi is like if the web site you want to go to is like this:


Again I wanted to do this:


But again resisted the urge and went back to bed.
 

At 5:49 am I got up and went to back to my laptop hoping with all hope that I would be able to get in.


And when I did it was once again the best moment of my life!


I'll admit the time slots weren't the ones I wanted but they could have been worst.


And when was all said and done I literally collapsed in relief.
 

If you are going to register for classes soon take a little advice from me:

  1. Be prepared: If you can look at all the classes a few days before the registration date and make a list of all the classes you are interested in. Also it is a good thing to make different combinations of days and times you are comfortable with just in case your first choice is filled up.
  2. Rest up and suck up: If you insist on signing up the second the clocks strikes twelve make sure that you get to bed and hour earlier than usual  and keep in mind that most of the other people who go to your college are going to do the same. If you can't get into the registration website after ten minutes go back to sleep and try again in the morning.
  3. Don't sweat it: It is rare in life that we get exactly what we want so if you get a schedule that you don't like don't stress over it, 'cause chances are high you are not the only one. Also  people tend to drop out of their classes so you can always go back and check if a slot has opened.
But please remember that no matter how bad or good your class schedule is the most important thing ia not the time or dates the classes happen on but the classes themselves. Study hard and do your best to get good grades in your upcoming semester.
