The Boston Conservatory Top Questions

Knowing what I know now about college life, I would tell myself to relax because I remember being so stressed out about applying to schools and feeling un talented if I did not get accepted into my top choice school. Now that I am a junior in college, everything is starting to work out, and although I am almost done with school and will then be sent out into the real world, I wish I had known things would mellow out like this when I was a senior in high school. Another thing I would tell myself would be to apply for any scholarship that I could in high school because my school is $50,000 a year now, and I have no financial aid or scholarship. I would say, "Help your mom out!" I would tell not only myself but anyone else who asked me about going out of state to absolutely do it! I am on my own now, and I already feel confident enough to try and make it in the real world. Finally I would tell myself not to take myself so seriously, and know that I will learn so much in the next four years.

I attend the Boston Conservatory as a dance major and dance for 4-6 hours a day. So, I would tell myself to enjoy the weekends more and enjoy the down time you have. I am constently working through the weekends, having rehearsals, and getting ready for any upcoming shows. In high school I had much more free time and took advantage of it, in college I very rarely have any free time. I would also tell my self to work on finacial management. It is so easy when your on your own to spend money and it goes quickly. College life has been amazing and not to much different for me other than I am a lot busier than I ever was in high school. Being on your own shows you how hard it is to not have your parents looking out for you. Making your own choices effects you in ways you never thought possible.

If I was to go back in time as a high school student, the advice I would give is to make sure you pick a school that is best suited for my individuality. Pick a school where I would be able to focus on studies that would lead to a career path that I would want. I would also visit the school to make sure it seems comfortable to your living style, focusing on the school itself and the environment surrounding the campus.

Molly stop worrying. You worry about everything you do, your teachers notice it in you, they tell you to stop over thinking and to just relax, to take one day at a time. Even if people make fun of you for needing extra time, or a tutor to complete your work, than get what you need to be successful. Put your your trust and faith in God. He is always there for you no matter what situation you are faceing, he wants to help, he wants to be your sholder to cry on. I would also tell myself that no matter how many bumps I hit in the road, I'm still on the road to success, and, NEVER GIVE UP.
