Oh, registration; what will we ever do without you? Regardless of one’s own personal opinion on the subject, I can’t believe this will be the final time I am registering for classes.

Registration gives us the opportunity to pick our poison, its weekly dose, as well as who will be administering it. My advice: avoid three-day-a-weeks if you can, and learn to love the word ‘turbo.’ Also, take advantage of the add/drop period. If there are no hot girls on the class roster, you’ll be bored regardless of who teaches the class.

To the underclassmen, we all apologize for leaving you with the most abysmal registration day, but we’ve all been there. As seniors, we have the ephemeral luxury of registering at 6 p.m. on Monday night and still getting into every class we wanted. But instead of lamenting over not getting your third choice, take a risk and choose a course that interests you regardless of the time code or what Rate My Professor says. (Though the site has provided very reliable and accurate information over the years.)

Also: a quick word on the core. Sign up for courses with interesting titles. They’re often not 8 a.m. classes and are generally easy.

Even though we go to college to be all educated and serious, I wish for once that the Registrar would include some classic college courses, at least just for kicks, and see who signs up for them. I mean, come on ‘- how funny would it be if you could sign up for ‘Female Anatomy’, ‘Introduction to Blackouts’ or even ‘Basket Weaving’? As an aside, what exactly does the Registrar’s office do when we aren’t registering for classes? All I’m saying is sending transcripts can’t take up all 14 weeks of the semester.

Even though we wish we could sign up for more interesting courses with easier professors and sexier coeds, college needs to have some negatives. Even if ‘The Art of Beirut’ isn’t a course, that’s the purpose of weekends. By the way, shout out to Big Bottoms on the win last Saturday, even though we almost got you in round two.
