Schreiner University Top Questions

I would definetly go back and tell myself to read more, catchup on how to write notes again. I wouldtell myself that college is not the easy ride it's made to be and that i need to be prepared to work and pay atention 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time in class because the little things the professor says is actually whats on the tests that they give!

The first thing I would tell myself, is to save up as much money as you can. In the long run it makes your college trasition much less stressful on the student. I would also tell myself to enjoy my high school years and not to rush it. They fly by so quickly and college is a whole other life. Being away from your family and long life friends is something that is extremely hard to deal with, but is definitely manageable. Being able to manage time is a large part in being successful in college. I have always had problems with managing my time, and so I would have definitely tried to work better on it in my high school years. I believe the last thing I would have told myself is to be ready to work because at college, you do not get away with those little irrresponsiblities like you do in high school. Being responsible and disciplined is extremely important in being a successful college student.

if i could go back to my senior year one of the things i would tell myself is to learn how to use mla. when i started college i was expected to know it and i had never used it so it was a big challenge in my college career. also i would fill out a lot more scholarships. college is so expensive and paying for it myself is very difficult on a babysitter and work study paycheck. the last thing i would tell myself is to study better. for every hour of class time in college you should study three hours, i never studied in high school and studying here is so hard. it takes so much time and if i would have studied in high school i feel that i would be a better studier in college.

Going back in time to talk to my younger self, there would be many things that I would want to instill upon the younger me. But of those things school would be one of the more pressing. I would tell him that college is something that he should take more seriously. That it is not just a place to spend time trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life but to be serious not just in is choice in degree, but also in the classes that he should take. I would then tell him of what choices I have made in my pursuit on education and where it has taken me, in the hopes that he will truly listen and learn from what I have done and hopefully spend his time wiser than I have. And as an afterthought before I would leave him I would tell him that it?s ok to make mistakes along the road to learning, because I don?t expect perfection from him but to try his best.

If I could give myself any advice and go back to being a senior in high school, I would tell myself to be prepared for a big shock. I did not realize how hard it would be in college, it makes it ten times more stressful to take college courses based on the fact that you are paying out of pocket and really have no room to mess up. I would tell myself to be prepared to stay up hours of the night studying a subject you feel you do not know anything about it. I would also tell myself to be prepared to realize that you are not as smart as you believed and there is so much more to learn. I really strive to want to learn things and read now. It's amazing how much knowlege there is to be had.

Dear Carlos, you are about to go to college, and i want you to know that it will not be easy. You are going to have to study and manage your time properly. There will be a lot of peer pressure to do bad thing, but i know you will always make the right choice. Please be careful and try to be mature about what you do.

As a senior, you're going to want to enjoy your year and have fun. Have fun, but learn as much as possible. You'll find that students attending the university may learn a lot faster than you do. Classes are expensive, if you can take any transferrable classes at a community college in the summer, it'd help. Remember you aren't living with your mother, pick up after yourself and respect your roomate. Always be punctual. Procrastination is not an option. The faster you have your work done, the less stress you have. When you first get to school, you are going to be homesick. Making friends is crucial. Become friends with others aside from your roomate. Remember when things get stressful, talk to someone. You can talk to your friends, teachers, advisors, or the Universities counselor. Never be afraid to ask for help. One last thing, there's going to be many parties. Always remember to stick to your morals regardless of what anyone may say.

I would tell myself to start trying harder. I slacked off a lot my senior year, and the work load of college has sort of slapped me in the face. College is a much more in depth experience than high school was. As a college student, you're till resposible for your school work but at the same time you have to be responsible for yourself. I can choose to not go to class, and it wont make one bit of difference to my professors. It will, however, affect how i do on the test or if i get to turn in my homework. But overall, the main thing I'd emphasize would be to start putting effort into my school work.

be ready to have the time of your life and be ready to do writing for your eng class!

I would tell myself to choose one area of interest and to focus on it only. I would tell her to study and focus on her classes, and to not try and do everything at once. I would remind her it is a marathon and not a sprint, to do what she wants and not something she doesn't. Don't overestimate yourself and underestimate your professors; they can and will help you if you give them notice you need help. Relaxation is important as well, don't overwork yourself. Marathons are not won by sprinters.

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.
