I'm so sick of college that I can't even express it in words. My anger with this university is simply ineffable. Last year I was told by an advisor in the college of arts and sciences that often times if a student is 1 credit hour short of graduation the college will waive that credit and let the student graduate. Skip ahead to today when I get a phone call from the college or arts and sciences office of student records informing me that I will be 1 credit short of being able to graduate. After I explained that I had spoken with an advisor last year that said it wouldn't be a problem to be only 1 credit short, the lady on the phone called me a liar (in so many words) and said, "No one EVER graduates short of 128 credits". And she knows cause she's been here for 15yrs. The thing that's so infuriating about my situation is that even without the 1 credit I will have fulfilled the university's requirements to possess a BA in psychology. I will have taken all the required classes. So in order to get my 1 credit I get to waste 2hrs of my life every tuesday night going to a seminar/class about career planning.
I could go on and on about how angry I am and how much I really feel like college has been a waste of time but I'll spare you all the rant.
