Do you ever feel lost? Like you're not sure which direction to take in life? Let's face it - sometimes we need help navigating this crazy thing called college. That's why I'm here. Consider me your third-party, impartial columnist. You have questions, and baby doll, I've got your answers. Or rather, I can provide my spin on things. So sit on down and buckle up, 'cause you're in for a big ol' Sass Attack!
It has been my pleasure to provide you advice each week, but sadly Suzette is graduating. I would like to dedicate this article to all those who are having a rough time and just need a little perspective. To all my loyal readers, I love you all and thank you for reading.
I am considering changing my major but I'm not sure. I am currently an engineering major, but I am really considering switching to design. What should I do?
This is a big decision and a drastic change. You are talking completely different fields. My best suggestion would be to talk to the right people. Make an appointment with your academic adviser and with either the head of the department in design you decide on or a professor in the major. Ask a lot of questions about the major such as what the core studies are, what this major would prepare you for and what kind of skills and talents they require.
I switched majors, though my switch was within the same school. One of the things I was asked when speaking to the head of the department to which I was transferring was if I was really interested in these studies or if I thought it would just be easier. Consider your real reasons behind wanting to switch. Be sure that this is the right decision for you. Take your time and really consider this. It is your future.
I had sex with this guy, but I have a boyfriend. The thing is that he is on the other side of the country. He probably won't ever find out unless I told him. Should I tell him?
This is the proverbial tree falling in the woods. I understand. The thing is you made a commitment to your boyfriend and no amount of distance changes the fact that you did in fact cheat on him. He, therefore, has a right to know. Be honest; tell him the circumstances. Hopefully he forgives you and is able to move on. Don't expect him to be forgiving though.
