Time to grow the frick up. Your dad should be retired by now, not working so that’s he can pay for college for you. Get a job and take out loans, or better yet, community college or trade school
I’m just so tired, hopefully after dad buys me a newer vehicle I’ll start looking for a job. I’m not going out in public in a 2012 GMC, that’s embarrassing

it's not hard to look presentable in public

The 18-25 white female demo is very "special" in some ways.
Parents are definitely to blame.

Wholly Gym Crack, the only time I spoke with an advisor was to sign out for graduation. The week I graduated from high school I packed up and left home and could not wait to be on my own. Too many young people today are too soft. Better toughen up ,hard times are ahead.

I definitely took a long route in college but I still feel like I've retained a good bit of information. Not as much specific information, but core concepts for sure. Most of it hasn't applied to my day to day career, but some has. I still use chemistry and statistics knowledge on a daily basis. Sure, we have spreadsheets for most of the work, but understanding how the spreadsheets and formulas work makes life a lot easier.

You misspelled indoctrinated.

Very much, our government back student loans useless majors and rubber stamp for some students.
I'm 100% for getting federal funds out of students loans and into grants for most needed professions.
Many are there to delay adulthood.

It’s a mindset. When you take the time in the morning to shower and get ready, your mind and body basically wake up and realize it’s time to get shite done. I know that when I changed my mindset from “roll out of bed and get to class” to “wake up 30 min earlier, shave, shower, and put on halfway decent clothes my grades significantly improved
That is exactly how I feel about the remote vs WFH argument. Personally, waking up 2 hours before work, drinking coffee for a bit than showering and getting dressed help me have a better day and I definitely FEEL more productive at the end of the day. I worked yesterday from home and stepped outside at 6:00 for the first time all day. I hate that.

If your school allows you to do that and you don't feel the need to see an advisor, that's totally fine.
But, for some students, meeting with an advisor is very helpful if not necessary. And I think it's important that when a student meets with an advisor, that it's two adults talking to one another and to support the students without babying them.

We saw ours during the senior year. No one was ever in the office.
Advisor was a coach and really wasn't too interested. All he ever did is tell us how to enroll in LSU or Tech. Didn't even like us on his campus.

I mean, they give them crayons and coloring books when an election doesn't go the way they want. So, yeah

As an incoming freshman my advisor steered me into the unpopular classes that needed filling (ex: 18th century English Lit instead of modern fiction.). After that I made my own schedule
Yep, i went to an advisor once. He leaned on me really hard to change my major to “human ecology.” After i said no, he was extremely rude. I figured he must have had a quota or something and never went back.

A few years ago I went back to the local Community College to take some continuing education classes. I was amazed at how easy students have it today.
On the first day of class, I was handed (emailed) a package with a power point presentations that contained all of my professors lectures. Even working a full time job, I felt I outworked all of the students in the classes. They called me "the curve buster". Granted, with a job and a family at home, I was coming at the work from a different perspective than they were. I had zero interest in the social aspect of school that most of them held so close.
Just my $0.02.

meh if you graduated in the 90s or 80s I dont see how your opinion is valid. Emotionally soft yes but coddled? maybe your shite head kid is.
College and the workforce has never been as competitive than it is today. Kids might be emotionally soft, but if you had a degree in the 80s and 90s you automatically got a job. Besides those that get worthless degrees, you cant even try to argue students today have it as good as you all back in the 80s and 90s. Education was cheap, housing was affordable, and jobs for a college degree were easy. It's a slaughter house today

I mean my college has top investment banks/consultancy/hedgefunds/prop trading firms come in to give talks and network.
That's pretty much why a lot of people choose to go there. You're not going for the education - you're going because it signals that you worked hard enough to get in.

They changed the required classes for my degree while I was partially through. Had to meet to get classes counted towards my degree at that point. Was the only helpful time I’ve had to meet with an advisor. Other than that we had to meet once a semester in order to schedule and they constantly were making me sign up for classes I either wasn’t cleared to take because of pre requisites or ones that weren’t necessary for my major.
