I thought I was going to walk in class and my professors were going to hand me a syllabus and it was going to be the end of my life. I am a sophomore and I'm starting to get into my major courses. I am double majoring in Psychology and Sociology -- yes I know, I am a very busy woman. One day I just thought "Well why not?" I was going to take Sociology courses anyway, so I did in a way it would most benefit me. I was not nervous at all going into classes because I've ready to do what I have to. The first day of school can be a little terrifying to students because they do not know what to expect. But I don't think students should go into a class feeling like they can not accomplish the class. Having the most confidence is the best way to go into a new class.

I guess you can say I am at the stage where I know what I wanna do but I need guidance. During the last semester, I was able to speak with one of my advisors regarding my major but I did not feel reassured in the end. I do not feel the advisor helped me in a way I could grasp the knowledge. I feel like the advisor threw things at me and basically told me to fend for myself. Of course she said it in a gentler way but I read between the lines.

Now I know one's reaction maybe "Well you are in college what did you expect?" Well I expected for the advisor to guide me. That is their job right ? But I took what she gave me and moved on.

I went to class last Monday and I was ready to begin. The professors allowed me to have a clear head and allowed me to feel great about myself. What I wanted from the advisor my professors actually gave me. I felt reassured and ready to show the professors my effort. I feel strongly that after this semester, I will have a clear understanding in which direction I will go.
