Liberty University Top Questions

If i could go back in time to speak to myself about my future college career my advice would come neatly packaged in two simple words, "just relax". All throughout high school i stressed myself out about the impending college experience and the overwhelming change that would follow. As Senior year rolled around, I found myself scrambling to find a college to call my own. Scholarships, recommendation letters, and college visits drove me insane. Fortunately the transition was not as difficult as I made it to be. Back in my Senior year this kind of advice would be like an oasis in the desert. Of course along with my advice would have to come an eventual disclaimer. Although college isn't be the complete nightmare i thoiught it would be, it's no walk in the park either.
