Schreiner University Top Questions

When I was a senior in high school, I was going through a depression cycle. So, I would tell myself not to sweat the small stuff. Always remember that family should be number one in your life, as well as God. Remember that you are your own worst enemy most of the time. You will be your biggest obstacle to overcome. So, always tell yourself that you can do it no matter what! Let yourself have fun in all areas of your life. Be kind to others, because everyone deserves a chance to be your friend! Save your money! It will come in handy! Do your absolute best in all your classes, because those grades stick with you and in college it takes money to retake them! Most of all, just be yourself. Give yourself a chance to shine, others will see your bright light and opportunities will come with flying colors.

If I could travel back in time to when I was a high school senior, I would tell myself to put more effort into my dual credit English course because it would save me some money. Other than that, I would not tell myself to change any other thing because I love how my college life is right now. It was not that hard to make the transition in to becoming a college student. I grew up in a small town and I am going to a small university, so not much has changed. It may have been harder to adapt if I had gone to a college as big as Baylor University, but going to Schreiner has been easy so far.

Being a high school senior was a lazy time in my educational career, so if I had the chance to go back and let myself "in" on the college experiences I am educated on now, I would have to tell myself to sleep more, work less, and study like it's going out of style. Education is a very important thing to possess, and it's mandatory for most career fields. In this day and time, it is hard to "climb the ladder" without one, and I would drill that in my high-school-senior head.

If i could go back and give myself advice i would complety change my study habbits, tell myself to be more open, and to spend more time enjoying what was in front of me and less time worring about the future.

Breanne, be ready to change and adapt. You won't give up easily but you're going to have to sacrifice things such as high school friends, social time, spending time with your family, and your weight (Freshman 15.) There are a lot of new things you have not experienced and you're going to question many of your morals and beliefs and how you see the world. Be bold and be strong. Don't be scared to shine and show who you really are. There are going to be SO MANY people here that will accept you for everything you are as well as everything you aren't. Be prepared to study and learn a lot. You will be excited about learning new things from new people. Be open-minded and expect the unexpected. Get ready to have some fun!

Make sure you endure the AP classes, they really help you get ahead in college and over boring classes that have nothing to do with your major and could possibly ruin your GPA. Learn good studying habits from the beginning so when you are by yourself you can apply them instead of procrastinating all of the time. Know that highschool drama will stop eventually and it will not matter how popular you were or if you were dating the best looking guy, all that will matter is what you learn, how you used your time, and the skills that you have developed. Become as patient and understanding as you can possibly be, because dealing with roomates, professors, and advisors could get the best of you. Get over the fear of speaking with adults, you will soon be one, and you need to be able to communicate and use them as resources for future opportunities. Do not blow your grades or skip too much, because senior year is not supposed to be only fun. Take all of your actions into consideration and make the best decisions. Put your Facebook on PRIVATE :)

I'd tell myself to take English AP classes in hopes of getting college credit in high-school. This is because, my high-school lifestyle was rather care-free and I had a lot of free time. Now that i'm in college, I have trouble finding time to complete essays and projects along with my homework. On top of that, I'd tell myself not to worry about high-school relationships too much, because you find a group of friends that are a better fit for you in college. However, I still talk and hang-out with my friends with high-school.

because i entered the workforce out of fear of college, subsequently not attending college til the age of 25, i would travel back to tell myself "the hardest part of college is signing up"! i tell every young person leaving high school, every young person struggling in the workforce those exact words.

Fill out as many scholarships as you can possible handle! No college student can make $21,000 by coaching gymnastics after class. $21,000 will make your parents both have to get a second job just so you can go to school. Appreciate them for everything they are doing for you. They will go nights without sleeping so you can be the first one to go to college. You will make it through college even with learning disabilities, it just might take more studying and effort than other students. College is no a scary as everyone tells you. There are people everywhere who are willing to help in any situation, whether it is needing help with an assignment or just someone to talk to. Determination will help you succeed.

The thing I would have to tell myself first and foremost would have to be, "Don't be shy!" In order to get to know people you really have to put yourself out there and talk to others. Next would be, "Don't be nervous!" Everything worked out great because I selected a school I could truely identify with. I would also tell myself how important it is to learn how to manage your time well. Being involved on campus is excellent but you can't let it interfere with academics. Especially at such a small school, getting in clubs and organizations is a great thing to do to enhance your college experience. All in all, college is something to take seriously but to have fun with as well. Enjoy everything you can and get every bit of education possible because this can determine the rest of your life.
