Schreiner University Top Questions

I would tell myself to go out and have fun. This is the best time of life, and you need to enjoy it to the fullest. Meet as many new people as you possibly can. The more friends, the better. Take your time in finding what you love to do. It's okay to be undecided for a while before you choose what you want to do for the rest of your life. Above anything, just have a blast. The people you will have around you will be your friends for the rest of your life. Trust in them. Believe in them. Believe in yourself. Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself. Everyone does it at one point or another, just laugh it off and move on.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a H.S. senior, knowing what i know now about college, I would tell myself to study and start assignments when they are given to you. I would tell myself, to relax and take a deep breath, and to not wait till the night before for papers due to start it! Everything is much easier when you dont procrastinate, and then if you have trouble understanding it, or finding information, you can still get help from the professor, or other students. College has been great once I started getting a head start and studying when I recieve assignments. I LOVE S.U!

As a sophomore and being the only child out of three to go this far in college, either way I have been successfull in life. There have been so many obstacles in my life that where I am today is a blessing. I dont think I would change anything for college life as of now. But, if i had to chose something to change,it might be to apply for more scholarships. The economy is only making matters worse for college students and it affects some students more than others in which it effects me alot.

I have learned so many painful lessons in my time in the university, and if I could spare myself having to learn any one of them the hard way, the first and most important advice I would share is this: I know that you want to help humanity, you are idealistic and seek to better those around you. In order to accomplish this, you must dedicate yourself to something for only the right reasons. Money, security, safety, insurance are all insufficient reasons to commend yourself to a calling. Love, enjoyment, passion, understanding, experience, insight, will be symptoms of a calling through which you may create yourself into the change you want to see. Never allow fear to persuade you to deviate from your path, don't be fooled by the social gambits that are played through beaurocracy to control your life. Remember--only you have the ability to control your fate. Listen to your instinct for the true course of action, and don't second guess yourself or lose patience in the face of adversity. Stay the course, walk the path, see clearly, and listen carefully to those around you.

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I mould tell myself not to be afraid to get to know people. Don't be affraid to come out of your shell a little bit and meet new people, even though I know it secretly terrifies you.

Don't pack so much. Your dorm room isn't that big and you'll be adding to it throughout the school year anyway. Also. open up a bit more. Don't be afraid to be your wacky self, because a lot of people are wackier than you think. The rest, you can figure out for yourself. It's how we become who I am today, and I, for one, quite like that person.

College only gets harder when you make it that way. So learn to have fun and manage your time better when wprk is due. Its going to be fun so dont worry about meeting new people. You might even meet your future spouse. Remember, do what you love and keep doing it.

If I were to go back into high school as a senior the only thing I would tell myself would be to take advanced courses, learn how to study, and learn the material.

If I could go back in time and give myself some advice as if I were a senior in high school again I would tell myself to apply to more then three universities, all of which are different in some way allowing yourself to have a bigger variety when choosing what school you are going to attend. I would also tell myself to get a summer job the summer prior to going to college to enable you to pay for books, fun outings and to start getting in a mindset of being an adult. Learning how to really talk to people and making an effort to get to know others so you can have a support system is essential because you want to be able to share both good and bad times with those individuals other than your family members. One last piece of advice that I would give myself is to keep in mind that when you go to school you are not only there for academics but to fully expose yourself to new experiences which will in turn be useful in the real world when you are out of school.

okay go with the school that you can get the most funding in and make sure that you can hang with the pace of the work and classes...for example if you find yourself not able to keep up in high school you might have to go to a small school.
