College students on Tumblr, I need you to understand something.
The week after you finish exams might seem like a great time to get stuff done now that you’re done with finals. It might sound like a wonderful idea to call the registrar’s office or any other office on campus to get business cleared up, ask a question, etc.
It’s not, and if you do this you are landing yourself on someone’s shit list, because the week after you finish classes is a week that college offices spend preparing for graduation ceremonies. It is the most hectic, godsawful week of the year, and no one has got time to do anything that doesn’t directly relate to a graduating senior/person who is having a degree conferred. Don’t call, don’t email, don’t show up, unless you fit that description because college support staff and administrators are overworked, stressed out, and chronically sleep-deprived until graduation is over. Wait until the week after unless your problem is literally life-changing and so unexpected there’s no way you could have prepared for it.
Thank you. This has been a PSA and a heartfelt plea.
