Schreiner University Top Questions

Plan ahead more and have funn

Remember those thoughts you had about College being nothing more than a place with students with their noses in their books, not having time to talk to you, or just seeing you as no one special. You can rest easy my good sir, as they are human beings just like you are. Some of them may have even had that thought cross their mind as well. Also, thoughts about Professors being people who just teach and nothing more, is just a thought in the past. They are human beings too and interact very well with the students. They do help students out if they are lost or need help. You can rest assured you are going to a great College with a promising education. Good choice at picking Schreiner, you will enjoy it. Oh and one more thing, stop procrastinating with those Financial Aid/Scholarship opportunities. You won't know how much helpful they will be to you when you realize you haven't got many to cover your costs and that leads you to rely on loans. Keep up the good work.

If I could go back and give myself advice I would first and foremost tell myself not to worry. I was so nervous that college was going to be hard, but what I didn't realize is that I am a smart person. If you can make it in to a school than you can absolutely do well! I would also tell myself to really enjoy spending time with my family. I see them every couple of months now and it has been a hard change. I really do wish that I had taken more time out of my day to spend with my family. Last but not least I would tell myself to bring TONS of quarters! They are like gold in college so make sure that bring as many as you can! :)

Hailey - Take time to sit back and breathe - you're not going to fail. Don't stress about whether or not you're giving your professors one hundred percent, they can tell you're doing your best. You are not alone in feeling uncertainty about your future , everyone here at college is going through the same thing. Your relationship with Mom, Dad, and Tyler will be different, but in a good way. This is the beginning of a deeper understanding and appreciation of each other. You will not have a problem making friends. Embracing new ideas will not mean you are leaving your past ideology behind - it will only deepen your understanding of the world and the people in it. I love you and good luck! Your future self

Take the time to reflect on what makes you happy. LIfe is too short to choose a profession that you do not enjoy. Try new things. Explore your options. The profession you choose should not be based upon your perceived financial potential so much as your happiness potential. Education is not just about gaining a profession. It is about learning about yourself and your potential. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish...

WAKE UP KRISTEN! That's how I would start this talk to myself. Every piece of homework, extra credit, quiz, and exam in high school is so important. Not only for your grade but just for your knowledge. One lecture I received in college algebra was "if you haven't had any high school math in the past five years you may want to drop this class".....well it's been 11 years! The number one goal in high school should be ABSORB anything and everything. Knowledge is awesome and takes you wherever you desire. When you hear your mom saying "no college means not being able to get a good job".....well how right she is or was. Friends come and go, sleep is always there when you need it, time from the age of 18-24 fly by and you can't get them back......EDUCATION lasts for a lifetime. You will always have it and it can benefit you in so many ways. Most don't get the chance to go back to school so keep going to class, keep learning, don't give up, ask for help, and dare to dream!

If I was able to go back in high school to talk to myself, I would have started college sooner than I did, because living on campus has been the best experience of my life so far. I've met wonderful friends here and have changed into a better person in many ways. The advice that I would give would be don't wait years before you decide to go to college, because it'll end up becoming wasted years of doing nothing. Living on campus has taught me so much about myself, about other people who've become my friends, and about professors who are willing to do what they can for their students. I know the change seems scary at first, but once you move forward to take that step, you will realize that it was one of the best decisions that you've ever made. It makes you realize that everyone accepts you no matter who you are and most of all you'll grow into that better person. Making the transition will help you to become a wiser, respectful, and mature adult that will help you to be prepared for more challenges in life too.

Dude, school will be though. And you are looking for a good college and have lots of fun, right? WRONG! I am attending SChreiner right now and I am not getting tempted to do the crazy things i used to do in high school. Please, choose Schreiner because it will take you down the proper road you need to be going down.

I would apply to more schools. I would also be more social, and probably wouldn't join a sorority.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, some advice I would give myself would be to practice better study habits. The transition to studying all the time in college has been extremely difficult because I really didn't know how to study in high school. I would have also told myself to earn as many college credits as possible before beginning my freshman year in college, because it would have lessened my load of schoolwork and I would get done with college quicker . The last piece of advice that I would have told myself would be to research more about what occupation would be right for me. Going into college without knowing what career path to take is stressful. It could lead to taking classes you didn't need and researching about what career would be enjoyable, and would fit me, takes alot of time. If I would have pursued this task earlier, I would not be stressed or taking worthless classes.
