PDA

View Full Version : I'm so frustrated

I've been having a bad past couple of days and I just don't see much hope in sight. I've spent the first two years of my college career at a small college, and now I am supposed to transfer to a larger university into a major that's rather small compared to all the other one's that are offered (there are about 130 in the program already, I was accepted into the program as a transfer so I guess i'm not doing so bad on that front).

Friday, the gf, myself and my mother went to the school for orientation. We were supposed to get our schedules, get acquainted with the school, meet our advisors, that sort of thing, but the whole entire day was a nightmare for me. No one from my major showed up, I couldn't schedule, but I did meet with a retired professor in the major that helped me decide what I need, and I was told that I could enter my classes online myself and I would not need a pin number to do so since I am a transfer student. So, no biggie, I thought my nightmare was over, and I could finally get the entire bad day over with, as all of my friends (gf included) were able to schedule for classes, obtain their student ID's (which we had to pay for, so I'm out that $20 or so unless this mess gets straightened out).

Well, turns out I need a pin number, so I can't schedule. I've tried contacting the department since Friday and I haven't heard back from anyone. I am just entirely way too frustrated with the school and how they handle things. I just don't want to attend school, let alone that one, anymore. I have said that if I don't hear anything by Friday, I'm done with school. At least that one, because I'll drop. I didn't appreciate dealing with people that are supposed to be professionals, pretty much yelling at me and telling me I could not get an ID w/out a schedule, even when I tried to explain my situation, and she didn't let me. I don't appreciate having to travel all over to straighten out the school's mistakes, as I was not the one that placed myself in the wrong major and decided not to show up for scheduling.

This whole thing has left me drained, physically and mentally. I'm just so frustrated and ready to give up. If anyone has some prayers or a little extra energy to send I'd be extremely grateful.

Thank you everyone.

The whole thing wouldn't be so bad if I'd just hear back from someone. I was told, since it seems everyone in my department is leaving, either for retirement or job changes, that I could email the secretary, whom was so helpful on Friday, and she'd get back to me with information. I just feel like no one wants to help me out, because I just seem to get the run around whenever I try.

Just out of curiosity what is your major?? Maybe someone here could help you deal with people in that field better or someone might know the school you are working to get in to?

I am a child development and family studies major. At my old school, I was an early childhood education major, but at WVU (West Virginia University) it translates to CDFS. I'm going in with a 3.5 GPA which is well over what I need to transfer into the program.

Oh honey you should be so proud of yourself! What an amazing path you have ahead of you. Please, please do not give up! Maybe someone here knows about the WVU process or enrollment and could hand out some better advice, but Im here if you need to talk (or complain. :hugz:

Thanks. When I talked to someone in the education department, the head woman commented on my 'excellent' GPA and that made me feel good, even though it wasn't from those I needed to talk too. I'm really trying not to get frustrated and give up, but it's hard. I'm really hoping I calm down after a certain point and can conduct myself professionally and try once again to get ahold of someone to finish straightening this out.

Thank you. My gf is trying to convince me to call them, well tried earlier today at least and I just didn't want to deal with them at that point. However, I'm getting to the point where I know that to get anything done I'll have to call them again and see what's going on.

Is it far away? Maybe it would be better to just go in and stay till you get someone?

It's a little over 2 hours away. I'm debating on going back myself, but I'd still have to call ahead to get a parking permit to park at the building where I'd need to go.

Lots of positive energies flowing your way!

Don't let these idiots mess up your education - it's too important - just keep plugging away and you will get there.
