so this is rather last minute, but for freshman seminar we need to write a paper, my professor is w. wilson. its called global studies, but i dont know what the topic for the essay is. i checked on ecollege and whatnot and can't seem to find anything

Ok don't panic. First see if you could find anyone else in your class who might know. If you can't find someone else who knows then email your professor. Just explain what happened and how you have had difficulty finding the topic. Professors are very helpful and can be understanding especially if you talk to them ahead of time or approach them before class and explain what happened.

Ask me anything
