is it really this hard to talk to an adviser in college? I have made 6 appointments to speak with an adviser about my career choice and each time she has cancelled!!! This is what makes me question why I am in college, what I want to be & if I am just wasting my time! I am so exhausted of writing papers about subjects that do not interest me, I loathe even the thought of math, and I am legitimately just barely getting by with these grades! Stress with these classes does not bother me, but I completely and sincerely lack motivation because I dont know where I want to end with this degree I am seeking! I started college believing that I wanted to be a lawyer & I changed my mind instantly when I learned more about the career. Then I wanted to have a degree in psychology but that didnt entice me enough to continue and I have spent the last year believing that I want to be a guidance counselor at a high school or a university because I wanted to encourage students to continue school or even be that bit of assistance to troubled students without psycho-analyzing their issues. How can I legitimately encourage someone to further their education when I struggle with the thought of it? I have no idea what I want to be and I feel like the idea of college is rendered moot when I am hating every second of it. I am wonderful with words (perhaps not in this post.. but its 3a.m. so to hell with good grammar!) I love communicating with people and more-so with strangers. I hate science, I hate math, I hate studying religion & I dislike discussing politics in particular. I want to be a journalist. I want to work at a radio station. I want to work somewhere with live arts but I dislike photography. I enjoy forensics. I like criminal justice. I thoroughly enjoy learning how the mind works. I like critical analysis type situations. I love having debates about stories and their meanings. I want to do something but lord have mercy I am just wasting what little effort I have left in these classes that may result in being all for not. essentially.. I need to talk to my adviser or talk to someone that can advise me in some damn way that has the proper education to do so. and I am sorry for my rant but I felt like all of that needed to be said because I am 21 years old and I have NO idea what i am doing. and Good Morning!
