A guide to Feels

1. Find a book/TV show/fandom you like.

2. Watch/read/go through Tumblr and find out which character you like the most in whatever you choose.

3. Do whatever you can to find out everything about said favourite character.

4. Watch/read and see the character grow.

5. Squeal in delight when you find the perfect ship for them.

6. Ship said pairing even if it is not canon.

7. Slowly fall into despair as your ship keeps getting holes blown into it.

8. Get into fetal position.

9. Cry as your favourite character/pairing forever dies.

10. Cry more as your feels burn out and die with them.

Things that have gone right with college:
-Got admitted
-Got awarded scholarship
-On 5th response, got someone to confirm I'd be able to keep my scholarship
-Had advisor come up with a class schedule that would actually work
-Had advisor tell me I was registered for Summer
-Made an appointment to register for fall over the phone
-Finally got an error fixed so I'll be able to fill out my housing contract online

Things that have gone wrong with college:
-On 6th response, was told that it's uncertain if I'll be able to keep my scholarship-- though I was told previously I would-- and won't know for another few days
-Struggled immensely to figure out my schedule, prior to an advisor coming up with a solution
-Couldn't register online for the summer, due to a prerequisite error, and had to call an advisor
-Received an error when trying to fill out my housing contract online; called someone who said it would be fixed by last night, but it wasn't
-Called someone else this morning about my housing contract at 8:50, only to discover they don't open until 9, so called back at 9:10 and was on hold for 20 minutes
-Couldn't complete my housing contract because it requires me to list my year (Sophomore, Junior, etc.) and when I tried to look up my program evaluation I got an error message
-Had to call about the error message for my program evaluation, and after a bit of a run-around was told it's because I'm not registered yet, and apparently there is no record of the advisor having submitted my registration
-My financial aid application was selected for "additional verification," meaning that receiving my financial aid for the fall and spring was meant to be delayed up to 10 business days-- meaning by yesterday
-Called financial aid this morning since I *still* hadn't received financial aid for the fall, and was told the turn-around is now 20 business days. Which means when I finally register for Fall on Wednesday, I'll have to pay out of pocket, which isn't impossible but creates another complication

Things I still need to do before starting college in 10 days:
-Call the advisor, to figure out why I haven't been registered yet
-Figure out my grade level so I can finish my housing contract
-Submit housing contract

Things to do for Fall:
-Submit another housing contract
-Get a pre-requisite waived, or submit my high school transcript for proof of pre-req
-Register by phone on Wednesday
-Receive my financial aid offer
