Friday Finisher 3/24/17

Published: Mar 24, 2017 Β· Modified: Apr 22, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

It's that twice annual time of year where picking classes happens out of nowhere. One of the most stressful things about college is schedule next semester's classes (i.e. Fall 2017). I can't think that far in advance...I'll have to get thing situated and ready over the weekend so I can "pounce" when my time slot opens later next week. UGH! Why do they do this to us? After all these years, and so much technology, there MUST be an easier way!

I think I've checked out already...after Spring Break and it's all down hill, right? Just need to stay motivated a little longer, 2 months? This will just call for some major stress-baking come finals! Maybe some chocolate covered pretzel snacking too! Alas, I hope you have a lovely weekend (hopefully is starts looking more like Spring up here in the North East!)

    I HATED picking classes! It always stressed me out so bad, and I couldn't understand how other people could just stay so chill about classes. So I'm sending you lots of good class vibes!
