It’s that time of the year: the temperature has dropped 30 degrees to now an unpredictable back-and-forth of somewhere between 50 and 60, the sun goes down by the time it’s 6 p.m. (and I haven’t even had dinner yet) and everything just feels so … dark.

It’s a time-honoured tradition. As soon as registration season rolls around, questions begin to plague conversations, social media and text threads across the Duke undergraduate student body — what is an easy NS/ALP class? Is there a way to bypass the foreign-language requirement? Which professors hand out free A’s? How we value the liberal arts education begins to quickly unravel as soon as we look at the Latin honours cut-offs and realise that unless we take filler classes, we have no shot at being named the academic cream of the crop come graduation.
