UC Davis: Welcome Richard, how can I help you?
Richard: I'd like to declare a major please!
UCD: Alright! Which one?
Richard: Communication, please.
UCD: Hmm. You'll have to complete the lower division coursework before you can do that, Richard.
Richard: Okay!
[Richard does so, then comes back]
Richard: Phew! Do NOT like stats! Anyway, I'm done. I'd like to declare now.
UCD: Umm, you haven't completed Communication 1 or 3 yet, which are required for the major.
Richard: Well, those classes are always full. I figured once I had the rest done, you might let me declare.
UCD: Not this quarter. Why don't you try again next quarter?
Richard: Well I've been trying for three quarters now, actually. It's really hard to get in.
UCD: Well next quarter should be okay then.
Richard: ...
UCD: What is it?
Richard: Well...it seems like if you maybe increased the size or number of the classes, this would be easier on everyone.
UCD: We can't do that. Maybe you should take some other classes in the mean time.
Richard: Why can't y- never mind. Well, I'd love to take the upper division communication classes, those sound interesting.
UCD: You need to be a CMN major to be in those classes, Richard! You're so silly.
Richard: But I can't take the lower division classes because they're always full.
UCD: That's sad.
Richard: So...what you're suggesting is that I take...wait no, I'm confused. Help me out here.
UCD: You can't take the interesting ones because you're not a CMN major.
Richard: Okay.
UCD: You should take the lowe-
Richard: I can't. They're full. ALL THE TIME.
[UCD is about to respond when a red light begins flashing in the background]
UCD: Oh dear, it appears you're not taking enough units to have minimum progress, Richard. If that doesn't change, we might have to expell you from the university.
Richard: But I can't get into any of the classes for my major. Which I'm not in. Because the classes are full.
UCD: You need to have some units Richard...maybe take some other classes?
Richard: So if I follow you correctly...You want me to take classes that are totally useless to me, my interests and my future career? Because all the classes I want to get into are full. Or are illegal for me to be in because I'm not declared as a major in the right area. And correct me if I'm wrong, but this is all because you're motherfucking classes are too motherfucking small to accomodate everyone who wants to be a motherfucking communication major? So Im wasting my time and money at you're fucking university because you're rooms are too small? Because your TAs are overworked? BECAUSE YOU DIDNT HIRE ENOUGH MOTHERFUCKING PROFESSORS? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!!!
