Infinate ways of counseling students when writing their thesis

I did this illustration for a university magazine for oeconomics and law students.
The job was to come up with a full page illustration where different parts of the image could be used as vignettes for four different articles dealing with the role of the counselor when students are writing their thesis.
I picked the road as a methaphor for the writing process. It's a journey (at least six months of writing..it's a master degree) and it's very easy to stray away from the right path, getting sucked into details, loosing the bigger picture, start doubting ones objectives....is the right one, or should I. To write a good thesis is a difficult task and therefore a good counselor can be of great help.
