Seeking classes, you are

It isn't your professor's fault that you can't add.  They only have so many classes with so many seats available.  

They already feel guilty for not being able to add more students and the unfortunate reality is that it is practically impossible to add when classes are maxed out.  There is a huge weight being placed on their shoulders by students seeking to add.

There are endless reasons students need classes.  I need to graduate.  I need to be a full-time student.  I need to stay on my parents' insurance.  

Sure, we would be willing to sit on the floor and for-go a real desk if we could just add the class.

Finding classes is like playing Jumanji: You have to finish and survive your turn before you can move on.  No one said the game was fun, but it is strategic.

We just have too many students and not enough seats to go around, and the reality is if you aren't an honors student, a returning student, or an athlete, you are out of luck to get a full schedule if classes you actually want to take.

Several of the Clarion senior staffers are returning students, as well as honors students, and have never had too much trouble seeking classes.  The registration days we receive are among the best, so we have been able to choose classes at our leisure.

However, if this semester is your first or perhaps your second, you have struggled to find classes that pique your interest, that fit your schedule, or that help you be a full-time student.

And, trust us, we feel terrible.  We were there once, too, having to take the most obscure classes at the most random times just to get our units in.

If we could share our seat with you, share our desk with you, we would.

The best advice we can give is to take the classes you can get and do it with a smile.  There isn't anything you or your professor can do to fix the sticky situation Citrus College is in.

So, sit in the front seat with a smile on your face.  You might even find something interesting in a class you would have never thought possible.
