Bethany College-Lindsborg Top Questions

Go out and have fun, never doubt yourself because people will always like the real you.

I would tell myself to not take anything lightly. Going to college students sometimes become lazy because they have so much freedom now that they refrain from studying or doing homework. Do not procrastinate! College kids have a bad habit of waiting to write papers or do homework until the last minute when they have lots of free time to do homework. Do your class work right away and do it right. Waiting will only hurt you in the long run. Also, put yourself in a situation to succeed. Dont' surround yourself with friends who want you to constantly party and not go to class because you will start acting like them eventually. Make friends that want you to succeed and will help you in any situation.

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to not get too carried away in the independence that you receive in college. I would say that although it is not always required, go to class and the meetings that are held. They are here for your benefit. Also, attend all of the fun Student Activities Board activities. Any opportunity to have fun or learn new things, go visit it because it will not hurt you, only help. Get to know everyone as well. Having many friends in college is great and makes the experience only greater!

I would try and convince myself to take classes that really matter and to really think of a future career. This would keep me on track and have less distractions in college. I would explain how easy it is to get distracted and that completing your education in college will open up so many more doors for life. I would also explain how expensivethe college experience can be and that saving and planning for scholarships is very important. No one knows what the future economy holds and being prepared by accessing any and all scholarships will help in the long run.

Hello Stephanie, Do not procrastinate. Keep up with all work and do not let any opportunities pass you by. College is tough, but you can be tougher. Keep your head in the game. Oh, and do not wait until the last possible moment to look for colleges and a way to get there; community college isn't so rough, but doing anything as a new transfer student is.

Dear Catherine, Please take the time to read this letter as it contains valuable information for the years ahead. College is an exciting time. You are entering a new life as an adult. It is okay to have fun, but be responsible and never loose sight of your faith. Don’t be in a rush to date, the right guy will come around and let you know he’s the one. I know that you cherish each of your instruments and you will love the lessons on all of them. Just be sure to spend more time on the piano since it is your major. You should also push yourself to memorize more of your music so it won’t be as tedious for you later on. Consider taking more general education classes from Casper College. It will be cheaper to transfer them over than to take them from a four year college. This will also allow you to graduate on time and continue on with the rest of your life! Your parents raised you well, so keep your morals and your faith at the front of your mind and life will go smoothly. Best of luck in college, Catherine

I would tell myself to breath deeply. As a senior I went through a lot of heartache with the lost of friendships and some very important end of the year exams. By the end my nerves were so frayed I could honetly start crying at the drop of a hat. I would tell myself not to worry about which college to choose because the right no was right in front of me. I would tell myself to to weigh other opinions on what I should do with my life so heavily becasue at the end of the day I, not them, will have to live with that I decide. I would also tell myself to not worry about people in my new town, they are just like the ones in my old, just as kind and just as caring. Lastly I would tell myself that although life seems bleak at times, the sun will always rise in the east and for at least 8 hours I will always have that to look forward to.

Education has always been a very important aspect of my life. I knew that at an early age that I needed to do well in school to move not only up in grade levels but also ahead in life. I finished high school in the top 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my class. Now I attend Bethany College and I am doing quite well as a Biology Pre-Med major. College is a big step for almost everyone. Bethany College made the transition extremely easy. The people here at Bethany College make sure that a person adapts well, as for me, I am thriving in everything I do. I participate in cheerleading, chapel choir, and hold a part time job. Bethany makes it easy to accomplish my goals and pushes me to do my best no matter what. College in general has been a great learning experience and will help me as I continue on the path to hopefully change the world by helping premature babies.

I recently received my A.A. degree from Valencia Community College. This month I started at the University of Central Florida. Being a transfer student, I have had to go through many processes to just apply for a new college. Everything is so important when applying because, I have realized... college itself is so important -- especially to succeed and survive successfully in the real world. Obtaining a bachelor's degree in English Language Arts Education is my current main focus in life. Each day I attend a college class it gets me more excited to become a teacher. I have realized in college that life is exactly what you make it. The teachers are not there for themselves, yet for us -- the students. I want to give to students in return for my teachers giving to me. The idea of karma and the saying "what goes around, comes around" really relates to my college experience. The more I put in to my school work... the more I will obtain in the future. Just knowing, understanding, and realizing that excites me beyond belief.
