Social Media Editor Talia Bloom and Staff Writer Alison Hog sacrifice their sleep to ease your course registration process. You’re welcome.

Our dearest Barnumbia students,

You are welcome. We know how difficult course registration is. Planning out the perfect schedule only for NOTHING to be available. “There are literally no classes with space left!” you whine. 

Well, we’re here to tell you, that is WRONG. There are SO many classes with space left. Too many classes in fact—this silly article pitch turned into four sleep-deprived hours of scrolling through the Columbia directory. Dreaming about call numbers and occupancy sizes. All this labor for you, our dear ones, to ease your course registration process.

Need another open class or two? Here are all of the open options as of Thursday, April 20 at 3:12 am. If waitlists changed things or there’s a typo, don’t blame it on us. Blame Ms. Vergil, please. 

Happy registering!
