With the dark storm of registration approaching, many students may have noticed that the WINGS student information system was recently out of action. Now it’s back and better than ever. Your frustrating experience with registration will now come with a much nicer, prettier website.

The obvious change to WINGS is in appearance. After logging into MyGeorgiaSouthern and clicking your way to WINGS, you will see a sparse page colored in a calming blue. It even has large letters that say “Welcome, [your name], to WINGS!”

Yes, the new WINGS is just thrilled to see you.

From here, there are three options to click on. First, there is the “number for that P.O. box you never use” personal information section. Second is the “sign up for 8 a.m. classes and have your sub-par GPA explained to you in detail” section. Third is the “you still owe the Boss money” financial aid section.

The second section, with the vague title of “Student,” is where you will want to go for registration.

Inside of the Student section are even more ways for you to give GSU your money, presumably so it can afford to build prettier websites to use while you give it more money.

Moving on to the “Registration” section, you will be greeted by the bright red letters warning you that your financial aid information was due last week. You will also notice options that include “Who is my advisor again?” “My registration is at 6:00 a.m.?!” and “Please wait helplessly while your required classes fill up.”

The big question being asked by students is if this year’s registration will go smoother than fall semester’s debacle. I cannot promise that it will. However, I can assure you that, should our WINGS get clipped at zero-hour, the wait will be very pleasant to look at.
