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)
GiphyPARTY! 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)
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.
