Thought of the Day - Orientation

At this point most of the freshman and transfer students reading this have or are in the process of doing orientation. Yesterday I had my orientation at Suffolk University, not as a freshman, but as a transfer student, and what a day it was. The day was completely normal until we started picking out classes.

Then it turned into a steel cage match. We were all stuffed into a lecture hall fighting to get an assistant to help us. It is August, and as you can imagine there are not many classes left, so that made things worse.

F-That.

I decided to go straight to the source: the advisers. After much struggle I was able to hunt one down. Her name was Jane. As Jane was helping me another adviser came to her and and tried to pull her away from me. She then flipped out on him, and told him she was busy. Jane helped me a lot, but I still had to meet with 2 other advisers. 4 hours and 6 headaches later, I was done.

I then went home and took a nap around 6 pm. That nap turned into a full nights sleep. When I woke up at 3:45 this morning, I had more energy than a 10-year-old.

Day 1 at Suffolk University: Success

Watching Your Adviser Flip Out On Someone: Priceless

Thank you Jane.
