Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

The advice that I would give myself is to not to dwell on insignicant things and be more outgoing. When I first came to Kent State I was so shy that a barely talked to anyone at all my first semester. The only person I talked to was my roommate at the time. I wouuld tell myself it is ok to break out of your shell and allow people to know the real you and not be ashamed of what happened in the past. Instead of worrying what people may think of your 'story' realize that if they are not ok with it or do not understand it then you are not meant to be friends with them. I finally broke out of my shell, so to speak, the second semester as a freshman. After that moment my experience at Kent State has been the most meaningful experience that I have had in life, thus far. I quickly became involved in several organizations and have made life long friends.

Hey, Cathryn. It’s me, the future you. I have some advice about—Hey, where are you going? It’s me, I promise. Who else would know about that notebook of poems hidden at the bottom of your dresser? That’s right, come back here. I want to give you some advice about college. First, chemistry is going to stink, so HANG ON to your high school notes. Do not throw those little gold nuggets away. Trust me; you’re going to need them. Second, college is not as stressful as people make it sound. You’re stronger than you think. You made it through Mr. Melvin’s class so you will be ready for this. Trust yourself and hang on tight. Finally, mandatory core classes are annoying and take up a lot of time but don’t let them get in your way. They are going to keep you from the classes you love and are actually interested in. But don’t let them erase your dream. Keep your goals in front of you and stand up for what you believe in. And always remember Aslan’s words from the Narnia movies: “Don’t run from who you are.”

Don't sequester yourself in your dorm or house. Get out and interact with others. College is about discovering yourself and realizing what you like and dislike. You won't know who you are until you experience new things and live outside of your comfort zone.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would have to tell. I would start off by saying that it is impertaive to know what you want to do prior to starting college. Taking the time to investigate different majors, analyzing the jobs they could provide with a degree, and shadowing individuals in that profession are extremely important. Also, I would tell myself that starting off at cheaper colleges, such as a community college, is a great idea. Having attended a community college for my first two years was a teriific idea. Not only is it cheaper than four year colleges, but they offer exactly the same basic level courses that any other college would. This is a smart route to take in order to save money in the long run and still receive credit for the classes you need. In addition to this, I would tell my high school senior self to get involved in research right from the start. Working with your professors or professionals and getting hands on experience in your field is irreplacable. Lastly, I would tell myself to always believe in yourself and never lose hope.

If I could go back and speak to my 18 year old self, I'd begin by telling myself to take a deep breath and accept that the path that I was on will not run straight, but will rather take many twists and turns. I began my college career as a archeology major, while working in the restaurant industry. After impulsively moving across the country from California to Virginia, I embarked on a career in the music industry only to make the move back eight years later to pursue an education in the culinary arts. Who you are and what interests you at 18 may not necessarily be what defines you when looking at the total sum of your life. Instead of fretting over parental and peer expectations, look at college as an opportunity to absorb and explore as much as possible. Figure out what you love and what you are good at and have the confidence to know that you may change your path only to be lead to something equally challenging and rewarding. Life will throw you obstacles, but have faith that with a strong heart and a clear mind you will succeed.

I would tell me to take school seriously and study hard. I would also tell me to ask about anything i wasnt sure about so when i got to college i wouldnt be behind the curve. and i wound tell myself to study hard

Many words come to mind when thinking about what i could tell myself as a high school senior. Probably the most stressed of these thoughts, though, would simply be to spend more time with my family. In the present day, I live two and a half hours away from my entire family, which makes it hard to continue the solid relationships I had built. Instead of focusing almost entirely on my high school girlfriend, I would tell myself to take more time to hang out with my family (especially my mom). I would also ask myself to not take for granted my friendships. Leaving my town after senior year to head to Kent, I was sure that all my life-long friendships would last forever. However, as time has evaded me, I have realized most relationships need nurturing to stay alive. More nurturing than one can give two and a half hours away, too. While grades and school are important, I would without a doubt tell my past high school self to focus more on the relationships with both my family and my friends.

Knowing what i know now and get back in high school senior. I would say i'm change man, Few years ago i tried to make a picture of what sound the college life. Right now that i'm living that life i can say there are big differences and high school senior life. One of these differences are about mentality, like i have noticed that i grew up in my thinking and the way of thinking have really changed compared to my high school thinking. College classes are making me more active in business and daily life. I also meet much people coming from all continent. I made more friends and acquaintances. Moreover college life make me to believe in myself and more ready to my future life. college life are helping to take care of myself, although in high school,my parents were doing for me, but now all these things are done. It's time to manage my own things as i think without any blame. Like advoice to myself i would say congratulation guy because you have realized may things earlier than others students do not realize. college life is a great experience for my life.

Do NOT say to yourself, “I’m just going to take a year off, and then I’ll go on to college”; it is a deceptive trick that will find you 20 years later, still wishing that you had gone on to further your education. Life starts happening so fast, you will have plenty of time to grow up and take on all of the ‘adult’ responsibilities you can handle. Don’t rush it. Enjoy your youth! Learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them. Forgive yourself. Dream! Always dream, don’t ever stop dreaming and growing. You are worth the effort it takes to make a good life for yourself. Don’t sit around waiting for someone else to make it happen for you. YOU can do it! Just keep believing!

I would have told myself to not goof around the first two years. It really set me back, and I have been on the Dean's List for the last three years, but the the first two years really crushed my GPA. I would also tell myself to never skip class, like I did the first two years. I am such a great student now, I just wish I was all the way through. College is not like high school. I wish I applied myself the whole way through, and if I had to do it over again, I would have.

Get on the ball as early as possible with financial aid and scholarship applications, that is one of the most important things to get done when preparing for college. Also don't forget to schedule your classes with enough time inbetween to get to them on time. As well as , if you're going to commute, it's better to find a carpool and have things scheduled for pick-ups so that everyone is on time. Save some money by renting your books, buying them can be extra costly and it's not guaranteed that the school will buy back your book at the end of the semester. Plan yourself either a packed lunch or a small budget for lunch on campus, be smart with your money! It also helps to bring a water bottle you can re-fill at the water fountains. Plan your study time and friend/do-whatever-you-want time wisely, it's more important to get your work done in time!

If I could go back to my senior year of high school, the best advice I could give myself would be to take my senior year seriously- to take the most difficult classes, to work my absolute hardest, to push myself beyond my limits, and most importantly, to challenge myself in every aspect of my education. One of the most significant ideas I have learned throughout my first year of college is that I could have skipped many of my general classes if I would have challenged myself and pushed myself a little harder in high school. Many high school students do not realize that one could actually test out of some of their basic freshmen classes if they apply themselves. This not only gives one a head start on their college education, but also saves money- something that becomes a lot more precious in one's college years. Had I known this in high school, I would not have taken the easy way out. With this advice, I no longer coast and achieve the bare minimum- I push beyond my expectations and always persevere.

I know as a senior in high school, you are nervous to be a student at Kent State. As the time nears, my advice is stay true to yourself. You performed incredibly well the past four years, and that is just a preview of what lies ahead. If you stay true to who you are, you will succeed. The classes may be more difficult, but you have the ability to navigate any hurdle that you encounter. You are about to begin a program that is focused on helping you become what you truly want to be, a special education teacher. Because of the passion you have for this career, you will enjoy the classes and opportunities available throughout the next four years. Parts of it will be challenging, but it will all be worth it because you truly want to be there. When the time comes to start your first day of college, take a deep breath and relax because you are about to embark on an amazing journey. It will only take a short amount of time until you realize how proud you are of being a golden flash.

I would tell myself to spend more time with friends and family because when I go off to college good times with them become precious. I would encourage myself to look forward to college and at the same time remind myself that living in the now makes life all the more enjoyable.

The most important thing I could tell myself as a high school senior would be to be prepared for how much life changes when you go to college. As much as any high school senior looks forward to experiencing really being on their own for probably his or her first time, there will most likely be many times during at least your first semester when you are homesick and feel like you don't fit in. It gets much better through the year, but the first few times that a college freshman experiences a fight with a friend, an unexpected bad grade, a breakup, or a bad cold, are when he or she wishes most that Mom or Dad was there to give them a hug or make them chicken soup. Although your parents, friends, and family are in most cases, just a phone call away, it's never the same as having them right there with you. You learn how to deal with so many things on your own, such as learning how to stretch a dollar, dealing with different personalities, and how to manage your time--important steps in the road to adulthood.

There are so many things that I would tell myself if I could go back right before I went to school. The first thing I would say is that being away from home is scary at first, but it does get better. I was terrified being away from my family and it caused me some anxiety problems. Although that was worrisome I pulled through and love being at school almost as much as home. You make friends that become family. The other thing would be that I need to study. In High School I was lucky for my smarts to come easy to me, in college I needed to work a little harder. I realized this after getting my first failure on a test. Those are the two things I would tell myself if I could go back.

There are five pieces of advice I would tell myself as a high school senior. First I would say college is going to be everything you make it, and you will love it. Yes, final exams and ten page papers await, but so do new friends and experiences you will appreciate. I stressed over everything in high school and that hurt my academic performance. So the next thing I would say is don’t worry. It is important to plan ahead but don’t worry to the point where you give up. My third piece of advice would be to have an open mind. Opportunities come at unexpected times. I almost passed up on an alternative Spring Break to Buffalo, New York. I learned so much on that trip, and it opened my eyes to things I may do when I graduate from college. Apply to all scholarships whether it’s for $20 or $20,000. You think that you will get that $10,000 Seventeen Magazine scholarship, but you won’t. Finally, have confidence in your abilities. You are an academic, and college is a great fit for you. Have confidence that you are smart, and you will succeed.

Dear Danielle, I have SO much that I need to acknowledge you of, I don't know where to begin. There are a great number of opportunities out there that are waiting for you to discover! Don't sit around waiting for the PERFECT one to come your way. Seize the moment while it's there! Just because something doesn't feel right at first, doesn't mean it won't amount to something AMAZING in the end. Try to stay focused on the things you want most and they will begin to come your way sooner than later. Embrace every GOOD person and intention in your life because that is what is going to compell you to do your best. Keep your head held up high even at the worst of times, there will be many of them. The mistakes you make should be looked at as a learning experience, rather than a regret. It is important to know this because these learning experiences are what make you... YOU. Love always, Danielle P.S. A healthy mind, body, & soul generates the most POSITIVITY.

Don't be dumb. Life is short and fast and thinking you can make it through on your own is not smart. I would tell myself stay calm and breath, college gets easier and if I keep my head straight and reach for the stars, I am going to succeed.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as an high school student one thing I would definitely tell myself is to make sure that whatever major you pick you love it enough to stick with it. I also would have advised myself to enroll in college courses at a community college to better prepare myself. Coming from a background of poverty in the public school system I was already at a disadvantage in basic things like using a graphic calculator. I think if I was better prepared then I would have done alot better in my classes at that time. I also would tell myself to never give up no matter what and keep striving to reach that ultimate goal of becoming a college graduate no matter how hard its going to be in the incoming years. Lastly I would tell myself that there is nothing to worry about and I will do fine just as long as party less and study hard.

Future college student, take a moment to breathe. Know that things will change and you will adapt. The work is challenging, but it satisfies the intellectual. Keep all of your notes and textbooks--selling them back doesn't get you much anyway. Be absolutely clear about what you intend to do and why. Discover who you are through the things you do each and every day. Let school be one of those factors in life that promote change and self-discovery. Ultimately, please take a step back and enjoy the college life. It is not entirely about academic perfection; you need to expand your horizons and engage in more social activities. Let the world be your map and college be thy compass.

Don't let your nerves get to you. College is not as hard as you were told, but don't take it lightly, either. Make sure you stick to your syllabi and always ask the professor when something doesn't make sense. They really are there to help you, so don't be afraid. If you take one thing from my experience, let it be that you need to always keep a schedule and to not be so afraid of going and getting what you need. Your future is up to you.

If I could go back in time and talk to my self as a senior I would tell myself to start looking into colleges sooner and have a plan along with a back up plan of what I wanted to do once i graduated. I would also tell myself to enjoy my last year of high school as much as possible and do the things that I always wanted to do as an underclassmen before it was too late. I would advise myself to not worry about the little things as much such as what I was wearing or how my hair looked that day because those things don't matter once you graduate. Making as many friends and connection as possible would be useful as well so that when you get to college you will be used to talking to all different types of people. Another important thing I would tell myself is not to rush senior year because it is the last year of freedom before you are forced into adulthood. Overall I would tell me self to enjoy my last year as much as possible without losing sight of my future goals.

Nearly everyone wishes they could go back in time and direct their younger self down the right path. As a high school senior, though I thought I was completely ready to take on college and all its difficulties, I now know I was inexperienced and somewhat too pessimistic about my new life. Just as in high school, I took schoolwork seriously in college. It was my number one priority in life. Because of this, I neglected my social life. Instead of joining student organizations and becoming involved on campus, I delved into textbooks and stayed in my dorm. Instead of embracing a very welcoming community on my school campus, I stressed over homework and preparing myself for law school. I didn't have fun. If I could reach through space and time and shake some sense into my 17-year-old self, I would do it in a heartbeat. I would berate myself for being a self-made outcast. I would tell myself to loosen up. Balancing school and friends is possible, and so much more rewarding! Instead of fond memories of forming new friendships my freshman year, all I have is an image of myself alone and studying.

I would tell myself to hang in there. High school is a waste of time, but from there on your education will matter since you will take classes of your liking and choosing and set your own schedule to do things which couldn't been done in high school since you were required to stay there for a certain amount of time. College is the best thing that will ever happen to you. You might not know what you want to do, but in a few years you'll finally understand what you're destined to do.

To my high school senior self I would tell her that studying this the best thing you could ever do and make sure that you stay true to yourself. If you want to get the scholarships and the best aid you can possibly get for college you have to keep your GPA up. You also have to make sure that you do not let the juvenile drama of high school get in the way of the goals you have set for yourself. Keep your head up and continue to strive for excellence.

The advice I would give is to never take anything lightly. College will prepare you for the real world and your journey in college determines almost the job you get in turn. A lot of people will tell you "it's who you know" which may be true, but in sense you won't know those people if you sit inside all day and just do homework. Academics is one thing to excell in, but the social aspect of college is also a key factor in the sense of meeting people, getting out there, references, and also oppurtunities open up to when you do show initiative of getting to know people. Highschool is sketching compared to the true picture your about to embark on, and it's my decisions what colors I use and if I make that portriate of life colorful or in black and white.

If I could go back in time as a high school senior, I would first like to tell myself to listen to my english teacher Ms McConnell. Ms McConnell was a very difficult english teacher who inspired her students to learn unlike some teachers in my high school did. She taught her students how to survive freshman year in college, she taught us early on in high school how to write those difficult english papers so that when college comes along, we would be already equipt for the oncoming of it. In high school there was always a time to play around and have a social life but if you were the type of person whoo wanted a bright future for yourself then you knew how to balance your academics with ur social life. With there being alot of peer pressure in high school, one have to have a strong willed mind starting in high school to stay focused because when you get to college you will have an even stronger focused mind for when even much peer pressure situations come your way.

Life is a series of choices. Make an effort to go to and stay in college. If you delay entry you may never start. If you quit then you may never go back. This is a choice that will benefit you in every way and pave the way for your future. Take your first steps to enter the doors of Kent State and never look back.

First I would tell myself I can do it! Don't be

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell my myself the first thing to do is not to take unneccessary classes so that you can stay in the range of the field of your chose. Second would be that if you do not have guidance, find an advisor that main goal is to help you reach yours and to take time in finding alternatives ways to better accomadate you. I would also research about more ways to help me focus on school and how not to be stressed about money. Communicate effectively and confident because I would not let the views from others stop me from achieving. I would stop trying to do so much for others to make them happy because when it all boals down, my career and success is what matters, and how can you help others if you can't help yourself. By doing so, this will allow me to save more money, take care of myself, and focus more on my future. Futhermore, I would have helped my family and later generations with going in the right direction towards their career because I would've been confident in mine.

If I had the chance to talk to myself as I was just starting my senior year, I would tell myself to start the college process that day instead of halfway through the year. If I would've been more willing to spend time looking into colleges and sending out applications, I wouldn't have been so worried about the whole college experience by the time I was finally accepted in late March. If I would've just taken the advise my mom gave me for at least three months and talked to my guidance counselor at the beginning of the year, I could've also qualified for more scholarships and lightened the financial load. I ended up being accepted to the university I wanted to be in, Kent State, and I am all set to attend full time this fall so I can pursue an education with at least seven thousand dollars in grants, but I certainly wouldn't have had to deal with all the stress and worry that my indecision caused me. My exact words would probably be, " Kacey! Quit watching Jeopardy and look at Kent State's website!"

I'm frendly with the others students, i like the school and i want a really news and betters opportunities on my life.

The advice I would give myself is to make sure that I get involved early on in my college career. I would tell myself that I should have joined more clubs and groups my freshman year. If I did this, it would have been easier to make friends. After joining more groups, I would tell myself to take summer classes to stay on track and finish my schooling faster. Also I would tell myself that I should move out of my parents house and move in with friends at school. Overall I would tell myself to make the most of my college time, make friends and stay focused in my classes.

Apply for scholarships! Fill up your volunteer and community service resume as much as possible and apply for as many scholarships as possible because it is so impossible to receive them once in school.

Work as hard as you can, the first semester is hard and you will hate general education classes, but stick it out. The harder you work the better you will do. Making friends is important, but your studies are more important. Study a little bit more in your second semester. You may feel like you've figured out college, but there is still a lot to learn so don't act like you know everything. You will because you went to Crawford County Career and Techincal Center, but it doesn't give that much of an advantage. Besides, you should go in trying to learn thing you already know in a new way. Your classes are going to be a lot harder than you think, so study more often. Your going to do great with making friends, so don't worry about that nearly as much as you are. Trust your gut about studying too, focus on the classes you know that you need to more than the others and you'll do fine.

There are three bits of advice which I would tell myself: 1. Take the academics seriously. College is fun, but you aren't going to feel good about yourself if you don't study for the tests and end up not doing so well. 2. Make a large circle of friends. It's good to keep a central group, but always have others so if you need to study for one class, there are people you know in there to help you. 3. Don't bring alot of stuff. You'll find that you don't need it all.

You should definitely look at the college website to see what courses they have available. Make a list of the classes you need or want in order to fulfill the requirements for your major most efficiently. Also, be sure to look up the website www.ratemyprofessor.com to see what each professor of your prospective classes will be like. Most importantly, find at least one person on campus who you can count on to encourage you and sometimes help you with assignments (though not give you the answers). Emotional support is the single most important aspect of college life.

LIFE ISN'T A BIG PARTY! This is one of the main things I would tell myself repeatedly! I now know that how you prepare for today is how your tomorrow will look and partying isn't much preparation for a successful future. I would instruct myself to have a closer relationship with my college advisor and to visit them regularly, because they are very helpful in steering a freshman's college career in the correct path. When dealing with the decision to become a working student, I would advise myself to schedule my hours accordingly to prevent an interference with my early classes. When advising self, I would make it clear that it's important to utilize all available resources that are offered. I would tell myself to network, network and network some more. You can never know enough people. I would tell myself to have a personal relationship with each of my professors and go to their office hours. If they see that you care about your grades they are more willing to show leniency if needed. Lastly, I would advise myself to stay focused on what I came to college for - an education not a vacation.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to start taking advice from people who know more about certain situations than I did and stop being so stubborn. I feel if I could do that I would be a lot further in life i.e. school. If that were the case I would have choosen a career a lot sooner than I did and I would not have to struggle as much as I did at first in college.

From elementary school all the way to my Junior year of high school, I was actively involved in extracurricular activities. However, I decided to drop quite a few of those activities my senior year to lighten my workload. One of the biggest mistakes I made was not completing my last year of Speech and Debate. I learned valuable life-skills throughout my time in the program, and I always wonder what more I could have gained from one more year of being involved. Knowing this, I would give my high school self quite a few tips. The first would be to stay involved in as many extracurricular activities as possible, as they helped shape me into who I am today. Secondly, I would talk myself into saving money throughout high school. I am working thirty-six hours a week and attending school full time at the moment, and I still find it hard to keep up with my bills. Lastly, I would tell my high school self to be slightly more competitive and confident when it comes to academics. The job market is a competitive field, and you need to be confident in your abilities in order to succeed.

Never give up. Your life is only just beggining. And spend more time with Dad..Treasure him being with you

The advice that I would give myself would be to develop a sense of time management. I have learned that time management is the key to succeeding in a college setting. Along with this, I would tell myself to set goals, long term and short term. This helps when you look at homework. A short term goal could be reading the chapter for tomorrow's class. A long term goal could be completing the paper for the end of the semester. Most of all, I would tell myself to know how to relax. When you become too stressed that's when everything falls apart. You need to just take a breath and relax sometimes.

Continue on the path you are in and work hard. The harder you work the more further you can go in your career and the more likely you will suceed. Apply for dorms early to get exactly what you want. Also, Do not go with the first choice of a major if you do u will end up wasting money on that major because you will be switching it your second year. Join groups or organizations earlier so you can meet more people.

I would tell myself that being aware of deadlines is the most important thing because you get left out of things if you don't know what is due and when. It also makes the transition to college harder because you're trying to play catch up with all the deadline while talking your parents about paying for college, finding a job, doing extra-curriculars, applying for local scholarships, and keeping up with classwork. Then I would proceed to tell myself to get a desk calendar, like the ones teachers have on their desks and write down all the scholarship deadlines, fafsa deadlines, college resigstraton deadlines, and finally the housing application deadlines. Lastly, I would tell myself to apply to schools that are affordable.

If I had to go back in time there's a lot of advice I would give myself. I would tell myself to take things more seriously, to start applying for scholarships, to always have a back-up plan, and despite the negative things that people say to just stay motivated. When I was a senior in High School to be completely honest I was thinking about college but, I didn't take it very serious. I was just focused on going to prom and graduation. Actually, I didn't even graduate on time to because, I didn't pass the math part of the OGT (Ohio Graduation Test) you need a 400 to pass, and I recieved a 399.That one little point changed my whole life. Eventually, when I took this test over again in the summer I passed. This incident really changed me, and made me realize that I can't let anything hold me back, and that everything happens for a reason. Also, that I work hard enough that I can and will achieve anything that life throws at me.

If I could go back and tell my highschool self a few things about the transition into college, I would most definitely tell myself to become involved sooner. Even though it is hard to go out of one's comfort zone, it really helps once a person becomes involved in extracurricular activities. They are a great way to make valuable connections and make friendships that can last a lifetime. Also, I would tell myself to be a lot more extroverted than I had been. When one first gets to college, they tend to be shy and keep to themselves. But it is important to remember that everyone is in the same position as you- everyone is just as afraid of everyone else. The transition into college can be scary, but at the same time it can be one of the most exciting and wonderful times in a person's life.

College is a life changing experience. Some people make it and some don’t, the test is to learn and grow from every experience. The biggest hurdles are time management and learning to protect your GPA. In college there’s free range to explore life, and with this new freedom comes harder decisions, “...should I go to that Frat party or should I study for my test next week??” You learn in college, with most of the decisions you make there are no “redo’s”; time lost never has a “make-up” day, so spend it wisely. College events come and go as frequent as the sun shine but failing a midterm because you didn’t study can ultimately lead to a major drop in your GPA and have long-term effects. In college no one monitors your distraction levels and an alarm doesn’t sound if your GPA gets too low; if you’re not focused and monitoring your progress no one will do it for you. It’s a hard lesson to grasp until you wake up and realize you’re too far behind and need to catch up, or worse, get kicked out of school completely.

I would tell myself to go immediately after high school graduation. I waited until 5 years after graduating high school to attend college and a lot of the knowledge that I need to recall has been challenging due to be away from the learning environment. Plus I have a child and home that need to be taken care of in addition to my studies. Also, I am not attending with any of my friends so I am forced to find alternate ways of studying at home. I definitely feel that I should have enrolled immediately following graduation from high school but I am doing my best with my given situation.

I would offer 5 pieces of advice. My exact words would be as followed: "One - stop thinking you know it all. Take the advice. Second -save up. You didn't end up finding a job this year and your family is tight on cash, so don't waste any money at the movies or the mall, because The Last Airbender sucked and you really didn't wear those new clothes often. Third - find a new roommate before school starts. It didn't work out and it caused a lot of stress. Four- sit next to new people all the time in class. You make more friends that way. Joining Chi Omega sorority would have been awesome in the fall because most of your friends are in it now. Get involved. Lastly and most importantly would be to relax. You have a tendancy to work yourself up over everything. You strive for perfection. Reality check - you're not perfect. No one is. Take a breather and give yourself more credit. Classes will go smoothly. Oh, and brush up on your math skills, some classes are harder than others. By the way, you got accepted by November, so you can breath again.
