<p>Sometimes, the refusal is for the best. One of my friends, for example, wanted to sign up for six classes for next semester. This semester, she’s taking the standard four and sleeps very little as it is because she hasn’t quite figured out how to manage her time. Her adviser, realizing this and fearing for her health and sanity, refused to give her the registration code until she promised to whittle it down to four classes.</p>
