The 10 Different Kinds Of Academic Advisors You'll Have In College, If They Were ALSO Drag Queens

It's getting to the point of the semester where if you haven't already met with one or more of your academic advisors... you've got to get on top of it! If you're feeling intimidated, however, just know that you have the chance of meeting an advisor who reminds you of your favorite drag queen...

The *Really Nice* One (Ben de la Creme)

VH1

Sugary sweet in every way, even when you're six credits behind. This advisor is the one you can always to go with a question or a degree crisis, but you also have to mentally prepare for just *how* nice they are. If they ever go on a reality TV show, you know they'll be the one to eliminate themselves before a competitor-turned-friend.

The Angry One (The Vixen)

Maybe you have a bad habit of always seeing this advisor on days where they woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but you're pretty sure one of your advising appointments is going to end in a fight at some point. Despite the grumpiness, however, you have a feeling that this advisor, deep down, really cares about how you're doing in and outside of class. Still, you don't want to get on their bad side any more than you think you already are.

The Clueless One (Monique Heart)

VH1

This advisor is nice, they really are. But they have NO CLUE what your major is, what classes you should be taking and when, or what opportunities might be available on campus. You feel like you have to do twice the amount of work to prepare for a meeting with them, and even then you don't feel confident in where you're at once you leave. It's as if they thought cowhide was giraffe print... but with electives and gen-ed credits.

The Scary One (Bianca del Rio)

You gulp every time you have an appointment with this advisor because you know if you don't show up prepared they WILL roast you. This advisor isn't afraid to tell you that you are straight up wrong, even when you were really hoping you were on the right track. When you vent about how appointments go on Twitter, however, it gives you great content, so how upset can you be?

The Quiet One (Pearl)

VH1

Are they your advisor or a master librarian? This advisor is super knowledgeable and easy to get along with, but they make an empty office sound as loud as the MU at noon. You have to ask them to repeat everything they say, and one day you're worried you're going to miss something they tell you not for lack of attention, but because you just can't hear them. You know it's worth it though because they always seem to have the inside scoop on how the advising office is doing.

The Wild One (Katya)

VH1

This advisor is like your weird, wonderful estranged aunt who loves contact and is just a great time to be around. You wonder how any advising gets done because you're always laughing during your appointment!

The One Who Is Too Qualified For The Job (Sasha Velour)

VH1

When you talk to this advisor, you feel like you're attending some sort of mystical Ted Talk on how to succeed. Their office has a Hogwarts-like quality to it with countless shelves of books, great art pieces, and... is that a row of awards on the wall?! Maybe they used to teach or do research because they feel too unstoppable to just be telling you what to do this upcoming year.

The Young One (Adore Delano)

Giphy

PARTY! This advisor can't be more than five years older than you are, and they try and assert their authority through relatable-but-not-too-relatable slang. They do know how stressful it is to be a college student, however, and you really appreciate the fact that they can empathize with you when you're having a breakdown about your thesis.

The Older One (Bebe Zahara Benet)

upload.wikimedia.org

Grounded and demure, this advisor is the one that has been with your college since... well... maybe it first opened? They know everything about everything and are honestly just really, really amazing.

The One Who Becomes Your Best Friend (Miz Cracker)

VH1

This advisor won your heart over from the beginning with their wit and charm and then sealed the deal by being an awesome advisor you can come to for anything. They're a pivotal part of your college experience, and you love scheduling appointments with them! You just wonder why they don't necessarily get the credit they deserve for being so great.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
