Liberty University Top Questions

My biggest regret in my transition to college was fear. Fear was the root of almost every mistake I felt I made in that time period. In retrospect, I could tell myself to not be scared of rejection or looking stupid. But what I have learned, through all of these struggles with fear, would not mean nearly as much to me through words as it has through experience. Fighting my fear shaped my perspective on life for the better. My struggle gave me a sense of grace and understanding for other people, drive to push on and be a better person, and humbleness to know my mistakes don’t rule my life. I could have told my younger self so many things that I feel would have made me a more effective person, but it would have been all talk. It was experience that grew me, not wisdom I read or heard. I had plenty of people who told me everything I needed to know, but I had to have the courage to make my mistakes, own up to them, learn from them and carry on.

I would tell myself to save up as much money as I can. This is my firt year of college and I'm struggling before it even starts. I'd inform myself that the grant you get will not cover much of anything and to get a second job during the summer of 2013. Don't rush into moving out and figuring out what's next. Just let everything flow into place and it won't be as bad. Life is short, live it.

If I could go back in time to chat with myself, I would waste no time before explaining that I need to take involving myself in extracurricular activities very seriously. There is a thriving well of activities on and off campus in which to dive, and the benefit of these extracurricular activities is pervasive. College life is about gaining the experiences that propel you into the man you want to become, which some may gain in the classroom but all will gain if they simply devote time to serving the community at large. There is nothing more transformative than placing your pride under the control of the less fortunate. Doubtless, the experiences you encounter with your friends are enjoyable, and maybe even developing, but the opportunities which you take to uphold the needs of the ugly, the poor, and the forgotten are pivotal. Such opportunities will instill and nourish values which course-correct your self-projection into a post-college man of honor, worthy of respect. Your eventual vocation is an important decision, but the condition of your heart is a matter of habits you form while still in school, thus, spend this time wisely.

Everything in moderation. I have found that in my academic career (and other areas of life as well), that balance is the key to happiness and success. "Work hard, play hard" is true in some regards, but you never want too much of either. I think a true sign of maturity is knowing when to stay in for the night and also to know when you need some time off from studying and doing work. The ingriedients to "the college experience" are much more than studying and getting good grades--it's about meeting new people, experiencing the real world and most importantly, finding your own way as an individual. It's about figuring out who you are and being confident in that once you figure it out. My advice would be to not get so caught up in the knitty gritty that you miss out on these life changing seasons that a person expeirences in college!

The advice I would give to myself as a senior in high school would be to invest. As a young student your thoughts, beliefs, relationships, and commitments are tossed by the wind. My desire was to live a "no limits" life and I thought in order to do this I should follow whatever seems pleasing at the moment. However, I've noticed that the blessed life is not one that is steered by my desire of "no limits" but rather the blessed life is was one that is invested. In order for me to get the most out of my college life and experience I must invest in it. I must invest my time, money, study, and thoughts in my college career or I'll spend my years skimming the surface and come away with little return. So I would tell myself, "Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, invest where you're at now. Put your stakes in the ground and take the next few years to grow, because this time will set the trajectory for the rest of your life."

“Hello, Linsey. Stop! Don’t run away-I’m you, from the future. Yes, it’s true. I know this is all very confusing for you, and I understand this might sound strange, but it is crucial that you listen to what I’m about to say; after you graduate, take two whole years off of school. I know that everyone around you is insisting that you choose a major and go to college at the end of this year, and I mean everyone-your parents, friends, teachers, and guidance counselors. But the reality is that they don’t understand what you need. What you need is to take time off to discover yourself. I want you to take some time to get to know Linsey. Meditate, write, paint, do what you do best. In the meantime, don’t worry about college. The answer will come to you in due time. Now, trust in me-trust in yourself. You will do great things. But before you can do great things, and before you can help others, you must help yourself. Then, and only then, the answer will come to you. I have to go now. Remember my words. Goodbye, friend.”

Going back to my senior year, I would tell myself that graduating isn't the end of the road, it's the begining of something new; the future is yours and you can strive for anything you want. Also, open your eyes and hearts to all the opportunities that have been so graciously placed before you. Never give up on a dream and don't listen to those who tell you that you don't know because you mearly are " too young". Expore every opportunity and have faith and confidence in yourself, because you an accomplish anything that you set your mind to. Lastly, I would tell myself to keep a close relationship with god. With god, you can do anything becuase he only throws you the problems that he knows and thinks that you can handle. God loves you no matter what! Through the good, bad, and ugly- you cannot do this life on your own. Love the Lord with all your heart and try to see those around you like the Lord does. We are all equals in His sight and loved more than we can ever imagine.

I would tell myself to step out in FAITH do not be afraid of what others think of me. Do not go with the crowd just because you feel the need to fit in. Life has a way of putting you down and you will learn this the hard way. Lossing all the fatherly figures in your life will set you up to be the man God has intended you to be. Don't worry so much about money for college for God will provide. Go get your BS Degree it is important. I would say to myself the time you spend in community colleges you could gain a better education which is more important than what you think. Get your head on straight do not worry, stay strong for your family. I promise it will all work out eventually.

Dear High School Self, Be more adventurous, be kinder, and be more relaxed around people. Be thankful for the family that you have; most of your friends are jealous you’re your parents are together and love you so much. You will miss them terribly when you leave for school, so spend as much time as possible with them now. You will end up impacting so many people, so stop stressing about whether people will like you! Be genuine and it will be fine! Your heart will get bruised a few times by those you thought were trustworthy. Don’t despair; it will actually mark the beginning of some beautiful years. You need to go through heartache so that God can finally get your attention. Even when it’s hard, walk on. Don’t waste your time applying at Starbucks—you can’t compete with the thousands of other would-be baristas in a college town. Cancel your Netflix account and fast from Facebook until winter break. This will solve so many study problems. Love, Brittany

If I could go back, I would not change anything. I was a very good student, excelled in basketball, enjoyed acting in each yearly play or musical and learned so much about digital photography from an awesome teacher. Because of his tutoring I now have my own photography business. My peers liked my work and some had me shoot their senior pictures. What an honor! I am hired to shoot my first wedding in October. I have worked since I was 16 as a waitress for 1 1/2 yrs and then as a customer service rep in a high end clothing store. I will also be working this summer as a waitress by the pool for a high end hotel. I hope to earn good tips. Lastly, I kept my faith in Christ despite pressures from my peers. I know how I want to live and I want to represent Him in an honoring way through speech and actions. My standard for a boyfriend are pretty high. Needless to say I did not date much at all and even those were short lived when pressured to conform to the ways of the world. I am happy with myself.

Your future self wants you to know how to control over your time management, but it is expensive. Do not waste money on things that you do not need and save up in places you can. The better management you have over not only your time but as well as over your budget the easier college life is on your wallet. Take advantage of all scholarship offers you can get because even if you do not win the scholarship money you can say you fought your way through school trying your best effort you can to remain debut free. Stay strong never giving up even when it seems like you cannot gain any money for school because through my faith I have learned and can testify to you that the minute you stop worrying after you have told our Father what you need is the very second he delivers relief for you. Remember life is what you make it fought hard and study hard now because when you are older and become an elder of the later generation we can relax and not worry because we fought at the best time for our age.

Never be afraid to jump in and participate in anything that you can. Looking back and seeing my lack of involvement in high school, I can tell that it has really hurt my college involvement, because I still have that same mentality. Also, don't be afraid to push yourself. Take the hard classes, write the best papers, and study, study, study. Even though high school was easy and I still made good grades, I could have done better. In doing these things it may have prepared me for college more.

"LuAnne, there are four pieces of advice that I have for you before you make your transition from high school to college: First, make sure you apply for at least ten scholarships before you start your freshman year. The cost of attending college is high, and you need all the help you can get. Second, choose a major that you will thrive on. Do not bother choosing your major based on the amount of money that you make when you graduate. Remember that real success is when you are able to leap out of bed each and every morning exited to be part of what you love. Third, If you have time to take extra classes, take classes that you can use as a hobby or enjoy later in life. You never know when that dance class, music, or art class will be used to impress a future spouse, employer, or simply for stress relief. Finally, be kind to all fellow students. You never know when that classmate may some day be behind the desk of the job you are applying for."

Dear High School Senior, I am aware that this year is your last year but is the most important and rememberable year of High School but remember to take some essential decisions about your academic life ahead. High school life is fun and easy but the transition from high school to college is not easy. Be prepare to study for long hours, stay awake night long to prepare for an exam, be responsible, remember to do you assignment as accurately as you can. If you are stuck on something and don't understand any concept, remember to take advantage of tutoring services provided by students as well as faculty members, go to office hours of your instructor to get more information on that specific concept and ask for strategies to get a better score on exam, do extra credit as much as you can, make study group, read chapters and last but not the least attend all classes you registered for. Best of luck for the life ahead.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to relax. I used to worry all the time about where I would go to college, what my major would be, if I would have nice roomates, and so many other things. If I had taken the time to relax and to throw my worries away, I would have been so much happier. Many times we focus on what we need to do next instead of what we can do now, and that is exactly what I did by worrying about my future in college instead of enjoying and thriviing in my last year of high school. College is just another stage in life, and making the transition from high school to college isn't something one should worry about. Instead it is something to be prepared for and looked forward to.

The advice I would give to myself, especially working online, where time is a lot more limited, is to set priorities sooner, tighter, and more accurate. Online classes are only eight weeks at a time for a class. Therefore, things can get by you if you are not careful. Since college is so expensive, and you will only be as good of a professional as you put into your school work and anything else towards it, I would say to myself to be better about figuring out when, where and how something needs to be done, sooner rather than later. Procrastination is not acceptable if I want to be a great counselor with excelent grades as a college student.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior I would prepare myself for the large amount of work ahead of me. Nursing is a very competitive and demanding career field and the schooling process is nothing less. I would being preparing myself in high school to be able to turn down extracurricular events and outings and instead help train myself in the motivation to study and work hard. Being able to sacrifice having a large group of friends for having a high GPA is definitely something that has been very difficult to learn.

If I could go back to my high school senior self I would tell myself all that I know now about college life and making the transition. The first thing I would help myself how to fill out the fafsa form online and the knowledge to make it easy to understand. Then the transition to college is very easy and not to be really nervous. It is a big step but also it is very exciting. I would get to make new friends and learn many things about the degree I am pursuing. Going to college will open new doors that would help to make college life easier. I would tell myself to use my time wisely. Treat each day like a 9 to 5 job by use finishing homework on time and keep track of due dates and assignments. I should study on things I do not fully understand will help prevent overstudying and stress and to take my time. Also not to be afriad to ask for help or when I am confused. The teachers are more than willing to help me understand and to help me stay on track.

go ot every school event and always study and do your homework, it all pays off in the end no matter what you may think at the time. also, boys are a waste of time, focus on God and school. those will get you where you need to go.

Stop goofing off. You can't just BS your way through life. Sit down and actually study. Work hard through you senior year of highschool, it will make college so much easier. Don't bring all your clothes. There is no way you need all of them.

Hello, past version of me. This may be a surprising event, but there's no time for questions. Your time as a child is soon over, and you are about to step into the unfamiliar world of adulthood, so I want you to know some things before you do. It may be scary, but there are people who will help you through it. Breathe, and it will be okay. Rember that you're not invincible. People rely on you; pushing yourself too hard will hurt both you and them. Pace yourself. You may have a lot on your plate, but you need to start preparing now. In the words of the Lord of Chesterfield, "Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today." Work hard, work early, cherish those around you, and I know you'll be just fine.

There are so many different pieces of advice I could give to the high school senior version of myself. The most important thing I've learned actually comes from an A.A. Milne quote. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." I didn't believe in myself my senior year of high school. I had bigger dreams than the college I attended my freshman year but I didn't think I had the strength to move away from what I was comfortable with. I settled for something in my comfort zone. It took me a semester and a half to realize I had more courage than I ever imagined. The spring semester of 2013 I decided to take the plunge and move five hours away from home to Liberty University. The move to Liberty University has been the most difficult, rewarding, exciting, and enjoyable experience so far in my life. So the advice I'd give to the high school version of me? You can get out of your comfort zone and it will be worth it, just believe in yourself.

College is a killer, but it is very rewarding if you know how to tackle every situation. No matter what, if you get in a hard spot there is a way to get out. In your college future there will be huge obsticals to overcome, and if you just take a deep breath and follow your gut, you will get through that test, or that skills exam. Even those homesick feelings will get you down. Always remember that Mom is only a phone call away. If you work hard the results will show it. You don't know it now, but you will take the long way around your healthcare major and come out on top. When you are finally done with the stress and the tears, facilities will be opening their doors to you. You will be offered jobs before graduation, but you need to keep going. Don't settle for less and keep going. You could be that Surgical Technologist, or you could go on and become the healthcare provider you've always dreamed of. Be precise, be open to new opinions, but overall be confident in yourself. We've come so far already, don't give up.

To April Handog the high school senior, First of all, learn to manage your time. If you thought time management while attending a high school where all your subjects are in one place is hard, wait until you go to a college where each subject is in a different classroom with different teachers. On top of that, learn to balance your personal life as well. Second word of advice, don't try to sweet talk your teacher into giving you a good grade for your terrible paper. It does not work in college for two reasons. 1. Unlike high school, all(with the exception of one) your teachers are male. They are not motherly like your high school teachers; beside it would look wrong and people will get the wrong idea. 2. Unlike the high school you attended, there are way more than just thirty-five students and you will no longer be the top of your class. There will be people who are WAY more smarter than you. Last point I'd like you to take to heart, make the most of what you have. Enjoy the people and time you have. Sincerely, College you

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i would tell myself things that will prepare me much more than i was. I would tell myself to become a more outgoing and outspoken person. There are a lot of new people to talk to and meet in college. I would tell myself to increase my study habits because there is a lot more effort to put into college work. I would also tell myself to appreciate the fact that high school is free right now because college is very expensive and it makes you want to work harder to do the best you can so that your money will not go to waste. I will tell myself to remain focused on the important things and put school work first before other social activities. I will tell myself to get involved with clubs and activities around the campus because that is a great way to meet new people and also helps with future college plans such as scholarships. Lastly, i will tell myself to not stress out and overwhelm myself with worries, just remain calm and take everyday day by day.

To an unknowing and unprepared high school senior: College is one of the hardest things you will ever do. College is also one of the scariest things you will ever go through. But it is also one of the most rewarding things you'll ever experience in your life. People say "college is the best four years of your life" and, although as a full-time college student I'm a bit biased, there is a lot of truth behind that statement. You will feel like you don't have a single friend. But don't worry, you will soon meet the best friends you will ever have. You will get lost a lot. But don't worry, one day you will tell that horrified freshman where their classroom is. You might cry a lot. But don't worry, you will laugh twice as much. There isn't much you can do to prepare yourself. Just hold on for the ride of your life and enjoy every minute if it, because one day you will blink and the best four years of your life will be over.

If I had to give myself advice about the transition into college, I would tell myself to not be afraid of change and go outside of your comfort zone. I would tell myself this, based on Liberty University, because the campus is really something to not be afraid of. When you go outside of your comfort zone and meet new people it makes the college experience much more enjoyable and memorable as well as a better environment to do your studies.

When i started my senior year in high school, I still didn't have anything figured out. I decided to wait until high school was over to really start thinking about what to do, and where to go to college. Then I went to Paraguay as an exchange student for a year in the middle of my senior year. While I was living in a different country I really started to love and appreciate some of the things I took for granted, such as education. It was then that I really started to think about college. However, it was already to late to apply for the universities, and many of the scholarships had a "need to be applied" requirement. I had missed my oportunity that year. So, my adivce to myself would be to not procrastinate, and to go full throttle with whatever you feel passionate about. You don't have to have any certain thing in mind. College is an amazing experience, and there's no reason why you shouldn't try your hardest to further your education. Explore every option, and make the best choice for yourseld. The worst thing to do is to not do anything.

I would tell myself that things are about to get complicated. Your life is about to be turned upside down in that you’re going to have to start paying for school, your classes are about to get harder, because hey you’re in college now, you’re going to have to adjust to living with people you have never met before, and it not going to be easy at all. However, if you keep your head up and you believe in yourself then you will go far no matter how tough life is about to get.

Work an overnight job!

The advice I would give to myself is to stay on top of everything I do no matter what an instructor says know my own facts.

There are many things I would tell myself if I could go back in time. The biggest advice I could give myself would to not be worried about having a plan. I was so obsessed about having everything in order that I did not stop and realize that you do not need to know everything about what you are going to do for the rest of your life. You have awhile to decide that. I would tell myself to relax and to take different classes and find something you love. You don't have to have every aspect of your life figured out right away. I think that every high school junior and senior should realize this. There's nothing wrong with giving it some time. It is a big decision.

Be ready for a big difference. Your on your own most likely for the first time. There are many things at college to distract you from your school work and your education. Stay the course and work hard don't just relax and have fun all the time, you must get your work done.

If i could go back in time, into my senior year and talk to myself. I would tell myself what she is going to pick as a career, just for the hell of it!!! First, i would tell her that she picked a different career. one that she hates and i hate. haha, i would tell her that she picked Theater as her career. To see the expression on my own face of surprise and terror would be priceless to me. After the little joke i played on myself I would proceed to tell her what she is really going to pick for our career. I would tell her not to change any of her decisions. That everything happens for a reason and that we are on the right track to achieve our lively goals. I would also tell her to study a little more to make school easier for me in the future. I will also give her advice to stay away from certain people that are negative and deceptive in the future towards her. I will finally tell her that I love her and to take good care of herself and her health, to stay in good shape.

Seniors, study skills are so important! I had no idea how important they would be before leaving for college. I found out very quickly how important they were after I bombed one of my first tests. Experiance is the best teacher as they say. After I recovered from the shock of that first test, I started studying everyday. I have a block of time for studying everyday. During this block of time I study for forty five minutes and then take a break for fifteen and repeat. I also learned that there is no such thing as multi-tasking well, you cannot do many things at one time and do them well. I now do one thing at a time when it comes to my courses, but I do them all like a boss. These habits have helped me to ace all the tests following that first one.

I would go back and tell myself to not let anyone tell you no. That I have to keep pushing myself because there are no limits to what anyone can accomplish. To keep on top of things and not let deadlines pass you by. Also to apply to more scholarships, take a chance even though you are not the best in writing essays.

It's your senior year. Congrats on making it this far, you're almost done but there's still a long, hard road in front of you. I have some advice for you as you make the transition from high school to college life. First, learn how to study. College is not like high school, you can't breeze by on last-minute cramming and reciting various facts you barely understand. You need to start developing good studying habits now. Secondly, please start exercising some self-control with your money. Make yourself a budget and stick to it. Being successful in college is all about time management and forming healthy habits. A good diet, exercise and plenty of sleep are important in helping you focus. Learn to say "No!" (nicely) to co-workers wanting you to pick up shifts. School should always come first. Hold tight to your values and stand up for what you believe in but don't forget to keep an open mind; you're not in Small Town, America anymore. I'm proud of you for how far you've come. Stay humble and work hard, you're one step closer to reaching your dreams.

I would tell myself to pick one degree program and stick with it.

The first thing I would tell my highschool self is that in college, I need to remember to make time for myself, but also towork hard. College is a huge balance of time. In highschool you attend school for seven hours a day, in college you attend school 3-4 hours a day. In college you need to learn hoe to manage your personal schedual alot more; there is no mom or dad to help you out anymore. For me, I have spent the last two years of college working, studying, eating, and sleeping. I have hardly given myself enough time to enjoy the friendships that I want to and participate in the activites that I want to due to a busy schedual. I would tell my highschool self to make sure to spend time on myself. It is important to study hard, it is important to work hard at my job. Yet, why should i spend so much time at a university, paying a lot of money, so that I can work hard but not enjoy my time? Have fun, take chances, but work hard. That is what I would tell myself.

In all honesty, I would tell my high school senior self that college is exactly what you make it. You have the power to make or break your experience depending on how much you put yourself out there. Freshmen year is always rough socially, but you have to trust in the process in that so long as you're making an effort to meet new people, you'll find your group. Furthermore, I would try to explain in a calm way that at Willamette University specifically, courses get significantly harder during students' sophomore year. That's the time when sophomores start taking 300 level classes, and though the workload will seem absolutely impossible at times, it teaches you a lot about who you are. I have learned study and organizational skills, as well as patience and communication through my studies at Willamette so far. The key socially and academically is to take a deep breath, and realize that everything will work out how it's supposed to.

If I could go back and tell my highschool self some advice, I would make sure to tell myself to work hard on scholarship applications and the make sure I was prepared for the classes I was looking to take in the fall semester. College is not a game or a time to party, so I would make sure I had that mind set going into my first sememster so I would not get swept away with all of the fun activities and extra events going on. I would tell myself that it is a time to study and that I better learn how to manage my time wisely and not take on too much.

In two hundred words, I would not be able to tell my high school self everything that I would want to disclose. I would not want to say too much about what happens in the future, surprises make life fun, but I would tell myself to work on my tendency to procrastinate. Waiting too long to complete an assignment has led me to receiving an incomplete on a final project in college, and I would do that over if I could. Also, I would want to tell myself to apply to all the scholarships I am eligible for. Do not rely on a grant or tuition assistance that may not cover everything. I relied on a grant the first academic year. The second academic year, I did not receive the grant. I had to take out two loans, even though I only attended for the spring semester and finished my degree.

My senior year of high school I spent all my time worrying about school and primarily, college. Knowing how college is and the stress that comes with it, I would tell my senior self to enjoy high school. High school was the most care-free environment and should have been the most relaxing and fun time of my life. I wish I could have taken advantage of the fact that I did not work and classes were not as hard as in college, therefore I could have hung out with friends more often and also spend more time with my family. Now that I want to spend time with family or friends, the time does not allow me to do so. Also, enjoy the people in it because everyone changes and grows apart due to the lack of time. Hence, enjoy your free time and also everyone around you at the moment because growing up is right in front of your eyes.

When meeting other people, who are around your age, take this advice. If at 18- and 19- years old they are more interested in learning about you than they are interested in learning about themselves and the world at large, then move on. These are the few years you may be afforded time for personal growth, unimpeded by the will and choices of another human being.

I would tell myself to continue in school instead of wasting lots of years doing job's you don't really like. If you don't finish school now you will end up doing it when your 37 like me. When you get older you wont have to learn all over again.

When everyone tells you that it's not like high school, they aren't lying. For every hour of class you take, you'll spend at least two hours outside of class, so pace yourself. Signing up for 18 credit hours right off the bat will be disasterous. Not every teacher is as free thinking as Doug Pokorny, but they aren't all box thinkers. Don't let those one or two professers get to you. Take the classes that you're dreading and get them out of the way. Don't wait until you get into your harder core classes to take that Biology lab. When you change your mind about what you want to be, don't freak out and don't drop out. Keep taking your gen. eds. and talk to somebody, because going back really is harder than you think. Above all else, relax. It is not as scary as you think it's going to be. The people will be more relaxed. You're going to see 100 other students a day and you'll learn maybe ten of their names, so don't worry so much about them. Also, you should maybe rethink music.

Willing to work hard to my degree. Will not take no for answer.

I had a very rough high school career and home life, but if I could go back in time , I would encourage myself to work harder. I would insist on not letting myself get distracted and frustrated. I would tell myself not to do some of the things I did. I made it to where I am today, only by the grace of God, but I could have made it a lot less difficult of myself as well.

I would have told myself to go to college then, while my math and general study skills were still sharp. I would have told myself to go to college instead of putting my child in daycare and working a boring job as a teller at a bank, because I probably could have attended for free, based on need, at the same time that my husband (at the time) was attending school. THEN, when I got divorced 18 years later, I would not have been destitute, without an attorney, and would not have gotten screwed over in the custody suits. That is something I never envisioned when I was 18, and no-one at the time had suggested I attend college then, because they are all squirrel-minded non-risk-taking midwesterners and they insisted I needed to get the job to help support my husband while getting HIS education. I was too naive and optimistic about my ability to put up with an engineer husband the rest of my life.

Don't waste any time after high school, no breaks. Go straight to your education. No side job is worth putting your education on hold. Do something that you will wake up and say, Yes! I get to work today! Love your job and what you do. Save money and apply for scholarships! You never know how much help you're going to need. Education is pricey but it's definitely worth it. Keep your goal in sight and ignore any relationships you have on the side; friendships, boyfriends, etc. Your school should be the only thing in mind. You don't want ten years from now to look back and think you should've gone to school, that you should've invested money in your education. In ten years you want to be able to look back and say, I did it, I did it all. So that in ten years you can have a day off, go on vacation, be home with your kids, be able to afford a nice car. Do it now.
