Wow, okay. Well, my college career might not of been what I initially expected it to be. Creating a new home for yourself is hard, and nobody told me how hard it would really be. Between planning out my four years at Merrimack with you, to trying to figure out my future and career paths - I at least always felt like I was going to be okay because we had a plan. It's true I'm extremely organized and highly addicted to timelines and schedules, but I never felt like I left your office without getting an answer for something. There's always challenges along the way, but everything I've faced I felt like I was supported during that time. I know some people who don't even know the name of their advisor, and I feel sorry for them. It's a shame when you feel that you're just sitting with them because they're being hired to help you, not that they want to, but that it's their job to. Some people might not have a reason to speak to their advisor, but I'm sure you know I had many. Whether to handle something that was bothering me, or just to stop into your office to vent and feel a little more sane, I know that I'm always welcome. As a hesitant freshman, you eased my transition into the college lifestyle and finding my place here at Merrimack. A bored sophomore, you pushed me to do the things I wouldn't normally do and to try new things. An anxious junior, you proved to be a sanity checkpoint and a big supporter of my decisions. Who knows what I'll be like as a senior, but I know I'll have your support the entire way through.
