Describe your relationship with your high school counselor

<p>My guidance counselor is nice, but in general the guidance department at my high school is not very efficient and they're notorious for losing stuff. So basically I've taken control of everything I could take control of. LOL.</p>

<p>I have known my counselor since 8th grade. SO i always just go in and talk to her. Haha.
she knows me really well now and i am pretty sure she wrote like an amazing recommendation letter for me.
She is probably one of the nicest people i have ever met. Not to mention one of the only friendly people in the admin of the school</p>

<p>I hate my counselor. She screwed up my entire transcript from my old school. Now I have to go get it fixed...</p>

<p>She confuses me with my brother too much.</p>

<p>stranger. i know her well. she doesn't know me at all. she doesn't know anything in fact.
me: do we have a national honor society?
her: umm..idk
me: how do i join ____ club
her: umm ..idk
me: do you recommend me to join a team?
her: umm..idk up to you</p>

<p>she's just like that. doesn't know ****</p>

<p>My counselor is new, and we haven't talked much at all, except coordinating an application to a summer program which involved sending a transcript. Despite being at a rather small school, the only counselor contact we have is a short (~5 min) meeting annually to plan our schedule next year, unless we go out of our way to have more contact.</p>

<p>I know my guidance counselor quite well, she succeeds in not signing me up for my classes, not ordering my college books (something she has to do) and other extremely annoying things.</p>

<p>I've met with her a total of 3 times. Once to turn in my schedule for the following year, she reviews the schedule for a grand total of 1 minute, and I was out the door. Then, I talked to her about changing my schedule for athletics one time, and that took about 1 minute. And I talked to her about summer P.E. once, about 45 sec. So basically, I've talked to her for about 2 min and 45 sec in my entire high school career up until this point. I don't think she'd be a good person to get a rec. from XD</p>

<p>its on again off again love/hate. Well be off for like a week, and then Ill get a phone call from her apologizing, and then we make up again. but then I know next week she'll be B*ing at me. But I know that in the end, things will turn out just fine. SHes such a feisty lady, its hard to handle her...</p>

<p>I can't believe no one said "sexual" yet.</p>

<p>You guys fail at the interwebz. >:[</p>

<p>I only go to her to hand in my course recommendations for the next year, fix something wrong with my schedule (she does go out of her way to make take me out of classes I just don't like, which I guess they aren't really supposed to do), and recently to tell me what I need to hand in before christmas break for apps. I'll make an appt for next week to hand everything in, and then who knows when I'll see her again.</p>

<p>My counselor spends most of her time doing things that are decidedly unrelated to her actual job. She's off at least a half a day every week for some trivial reason, it seems.</p>

<p>Even though she has liquid nitrogen in place of her heart, she comes as close to liking me as she can any of us. My faith in her has been shattered by her incompetence and has yet to be restored. I'm already cringing when I think about her "helping me" when I am applying to colleges next year (and I'm also cringing at some of her suggestions of where I should go).</p>

<p>Don't really know her yet...
I should probably introduce myself soon (I'm a junior) but I want to wait until she's done with all the senior stuff.</p>

<p>Maybe I should give her a Christmas present and introduce myself?
Or would that be too awkward and just seem like I'm sucking up?</p>

<p>My counselor is nice. I talk to her when i change my schedule, which i do sorta a lot. The only problem is that she doesnt really know much about art schools, she wanted me to be an engineer.</p>

<p>I tell my counselor what I'm doing and he doesn't really have a say in it.</p>

<p>He apparently loves it because he doesn't have to worry about me. lol!</p>

<p>Nonexistent.</p>

<p>Nonexistent.</p>

<p>haha I didn't even see the post above me before putting that :P</p>

<p>Our latest meeting</p>

<p>I: Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I'm not applying to _____ College anymore, so can you take that off my list?
Counselor: Sure.
<em>awkward silence, we stare at each other</em>
Counselor: You can run along now.
I: Wait... you know who I am, right?
Counselor: No.</p>
