When it comes to advising for classes, I dread it.
Partially because my advisor never shows up / partially because I'm always late for class sign-ups.
Whatevs. I'm taking a T.S. Eliot class next semester - knowing that makes today a lot better.
Have you ever had any bad experiences with school advisors?
I took a math class once that wasn't even necessary for my degree (because an advisor told me to). I can't stand math.
I went to go see my advisor today and he didn't show up! So frustrating!!

It is the worst, I'm sorry it happened to you too! This is the second time my advisor hasn't showed up; I'm definitely going to talk with someone new for all my future classes. Good luck with yours!
DeleteI was a bio major in college and it was hard! I especially had a hard time with chemistry classes. I met with my advisor during the semester to discuss my weakness in the subject area and her suggestion was to "take on a different major, like music or something...". Music! She said it on a whim. I've never discussed any interest other than biology to her and that was her suggestion. I figured she didn't have my best interest at heart and clearly didn't have advising skills that suited my needs, so I switched advisors that very same day... The benefit of a small liberal college, I suppose. :-)
ReplyDeleteI go to a small school too! I'm glad you were able to stick with biology, despite your advisor's wishes. :)
