For many, course registration is a daunting and overwhelming task. It can be nerve-wracking for many to wonder if the classes they still need are going to be offered, if classes might fill up before they get the chance to claim a seat, or if they are even doing this whole registering thing correctly at all. To hopefully quell that stomach-turning tension I would like to offer those in this dilemma some advice from someone who loves registration season. 

The 2023 Forum for Undergraduate Student Editors (FUSE) Conference is being hosted by SUNY Geneseo and taking place from Nov. 2 to Nov. 4. The event will focus on the growth of literary journals (the title of the conference being “Literary Publishing in 2023: Where Are We Going, Where Have We Been?”) and hopes to explore how literary journals are adapting, changing, and struggling currently, and how they will evolve in the future. The FUSE website proposes the following questions; “How has the conversation changed, expanded, or diversified since the first literary journals were published? How has the changing world impacted the conversation? What will this conversation sound/look/feel like tomorrow?”
