<p>So I took your advice and went to counseling. Unfortunately, they weren’t helpful at all and recommended that I see someone outside, telling me that the campus services are for “crisis” counseling. I don’t want to see an outside counselor because that is additional cost, and I don’t want something like that on my record. </p>
<p>For the second free session I went to the counselor cut my session short (30 mins instead of the hour). I was really disappointed and honestly I got better advice from a peer than the counselor. </p>
<p>Thankfully my grades are pretty good this semester, but I’ll be going back home over the summer and hope that things will get better next semester. I don’t want to regret my college experience like I regretted my high school one. </p>
