It’s amazing the different experiences we all have on this planet. I went to my assigned college advisor today to talk about my future plan for graduation and he looked at it for 2 minutes and said this looks good. He didn’t verify my credit totals or even confirm that I could graduate when I wanted. “Sure, this looks good” while shooing me out the door, even though I schedule an appointment with him. I then ran into a friend and discussed my issues and she had the exact opposite with her advisor. This seems like a world not made for proactive people. If you can’t grab the bull by the horns and demand answers, then you will be left in the dust. If I were a meek little student and couldn’t voice my opinion then I would probably not get anywhere. This feels like a “promote the strong and leave the weak behind,” type of movement. And I personally think that is a sad state to be in. We all have to step up to get what we want in this life and I will not settle for “Sure, this looks good.” I will contact someone who can help me achieve my intense-crazy goals and be there to support me.
