The 16 stages of course registration through gifs

Course registration season is upon us once again. One of the most important yet most terrible parts of being a student. The experience kind of happens in 16 stages.

1. The email comes that says that registration times have been posted.

2. You open up ConnectCarolina to see if the gods have blessed you with an early registration time.

3. ...but then you see that you've been chosen for 2:30 p.m. Again.

4. You start freaking out about your career.

5. None of the gen-eds look interesting.

13. Even now you're still unsatisfied, so you email the professor and see if they can let you in.

14. On the first day of class, you show up to try and get in from the waitlist

via GIPHY

15. ...But 10 people showed up before you.

via GIPHY

16. So you just accept the inevitable and praise the lord that course registration is over.
