Hi all! I might be getting an on campus job for the summer and was wondering if it would be weird to informally drop in my professors office to say hello. They said to stay in touch and that they'll be in and out of their office but not really sure what that entails. It's summer, professors need a break from students too !!! so I don't want to overstep or anything. Would it be better to send an email to say I work there now and would love to say hi, or just go ahead and drop in?

I started college in the fall and decided to try out the free counseling services offered to students. I thought that maybe this would be the positive change and push I needed to feel better about myself and everything else. I know therapy isn’t a linear journey, but i genuinely don’t think it was for me, or my therapist wasn’t the right one. At the last session I went to she basically told me she wants to help me but couldn’t, and that made me feel so much worse about everything. What’s the point of me saying anything to her, when she couldn’t even help me? I knew going in my circumstances make it difficult to but since then I’ve really just felt stuck and helpless about everything. I don’t want to live this way anymore. At what point does it become not allowed to feel this way? That I should take control of my life? That I shouldn’t let my circumstances dictate how I feel? I’m just at a place in my life where I can’t change much. Sorry for the pessimism. Since the semester ended I have no distractions and the summer feels dreadful. I keep thinking that maybe I should try it out again but idk

When should I start getting observation hours? I’m a junior in the fall!

Hi all, I just gave one of my professors a thank you card and talked with her a bit before I left. I would say I went to office hours pretty regularly this semester to chat with her, and am also pretty close with another professor in the same department and their offices are close to each other (I go to her office hours too!!) She told me to “keep in touch over the summer” and how they’ll both be in and out of their offices over the break and probably go to the pool sometime (she invited me but I’m going to assume it was in a joking way?😭) Like what does that even mean?? I wasn’t planning on bothering either of them over the summer break. But what did she mean by keep in touch over the summer? I’m probably overthinking this
