It’s the sixth week of school and we are heading into academic advising. You may ask, what is academic advising? Being in college teaches many lessons; one is being responsible for your future. During academic advising, you meet with the advisor of your academic discipline (your area of studying: also known as a major or minor) and you plan out your academic schedule for the following semester.
Academic advising can be a troubling time. You have a certain amount of G.E (general education) classes, major class, and minor classes that must fit into your schedule at sometime and you must somehow satisfy their requirements in the time you have here at Dominican. Going into my third year, second semester at Dominican, I feel as though I have mastered academic advising but it depends on how the schedule falls into place.
One of the greatest things about academic advising is that you make your schedule. If you do not like morning classes, you can choose not take morning classes. Personally, starting class by 9:25a.m and being done by noon is great. Plus, I can live with having classes four days a week. But again, it all matters how the schedule falls into place. I have to fit in my communications major classes, business administration minor classes, and the rest of my general education requirements.
On the athletic front, this is a dry week for Dominican athletics. Just men and women’s soccer games Tuesday. This is heavy traveling time for our teams. One big development for me is that I am working with the women’s volleyball coaches to create a men’s volleyball club team. So far, we have 7 players including myself that want to play and the coach said, once we get 12, he will get us going with some drills. It shows how much students can make a difference here at Dominican.
Stay cool and Lets Go Penguins,
Chilly
