#academic advisor

This is a great question!

Students who have been academically suspended due to grades definitely want to reflect on what went wrong.

Did you skip too many classes?

Were you in the wrong major?

Was something else taking priority? (Ie. Social life, illness, financial strain, etc.)

Taking time away to refresh and regroup can actually be the most beneficial thing for you. School will always be here, your mental and physical health NEED to be taken care of first.

I love academic advising!

Even more than I used to!!

Fuck yeah confidence makes the job so much easier.

I’m still honest when I don’t know things.

But I can confidently direct to the people and departments who would know.

I’m more personable!!!

I love working in academic advising.

It’s problem solving, but very little math.

It’s all about requirements and order and systems.

It’s like making a broken character in a TTRPG… but for a students academic career to get what they want out of it lol.

So… I did good.
