Schreiner University Top Questions

If I was allowed go back in time to give myself advice about college, I will tell myself to pay a lot more attention in all math classes. Also to practice on becoming a good note taker, because taking good notes is very key in college. I will then tell myself to start reading books every day. Knowing proper grammer in college for my essays in college would of been helpful. Since my English teacher knew very much on the subject. I will then tell myself that not to be so nervus when meeting new people. That's what college is all about, exppanding your knowledge. I well tell myself be more talketive and more sure of yourself when talking to professors and new students. Then also studied extra, for whenever there's free time. Then above all have fun and enjoy the new expeirence.

Attending Prince Georges Community College (PGCC) this past year was not where I intended to start my freshman year, but it was a place that I grew to love and appreciate. In our society there is a stigma about community college: many people believe that you don't receive a true education at community colleges. In my personal experience, I came across the best professors, the best educational resources, and made lasting connections with all types of people this year. Community college gave me the chance gain balance in my life. I was able to juggle going to school full-time, working full, and my social life. At first it was a little challenging but I was able adjust with the help of my committed professors. The best part of my community college was that my professors took interest in seeing me succeed and they were very personable, which made it easy to ask questions. Now as a transferring student to Emory University, I really value the year that I spent at PGCC because it equipped me with necessary skills to be the best student I can be.

Its been valuable to attend college because the experience has taught me so much such as about life. Without college I will be able to go nowhere in life and I will have no future but I have learned that college gives me the oppurtunity to succed in life. I have also grown up so much in college, I now know that its not all about fun and games. If I want to become someone I need to get my priorities straight and buckle down and learn as much as I can. College is the best thing thats happened to me.

I have recieved a very positive outlook on highering my education because of Schreiner. The campus is small and all of the students as well as the professors are extremely friendly. There is a very diverse group of people that attend this school and everybody who attends, fits in with a wide variety of groups. Most of my friends go to larger universties and don't have the one on one teacher-student experience that I am able to recieve by attending a small university. Schreiner University has made it possible for me to go into the direction that I needed for my career dreams and goals and I would never choose any other university or college over it. I am looking for scholarships so that I can continue to further my education and my endeavor to be a school counselor so that I can impact hundreds of kid's lives.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself during my senior year about college life and making the transition, I would start off by telling myself not to worry about it and have fun with the whole process; everything turns out for the best. Because I play soccer for my university, I would strongly advise myself to run more than I did during the summer. Take time to enjoy the friends back home, as well as family, because after you leave for college, your relationships with them will never be the same. Also, I would tell myself to apply for a job on campus and to sign up for a tutor in Chemistry on the first day of school rather than procrastinate. Coming to college is the opportunity to become a new person. If you want to change from the person you were in high school, now is the time to do it and break out of your shell. You can do it. Have faith, and keep trusting in God.

If I could go back and talk to my high school self I would assure myself that I was making the right decision by chosing Schreiner University. I have leared from every experience I have had at this school. I have grown into a person I never knew I would become. However, I would tell my naive self not to go home every weekend to see her boyfriend. I would tell myself to spend more time at school, make more friends, spend time with the friends you do have. Study hard, join clubs, get involved. Go to the University sponsored events, get to know the faculty. Spend more time getting to know the enviroment, and the available resources, and most of all I would tell myself to balance my time better. Spend more time studying, and less time socializing.

"Do not sweat the small stuff" , is exactly what I would tell myself. Many things have happened to me ever since I started going to college and I have noticed that I worried too much over the little things thinking they were big. Now I know they were nothing compared to my future and whats to come. So I would walk up to myself and say not to worry about all these specific things and keep your eyes on the true importance, your future and how you will affect those around you. Of course i would have to get the wierdness of seeing myself out of the way, but I would make sure that I knew what really matters. There would also have to be the winning lottery numbers...

Focus, focus on school work. Balance your social life well so that you have time for some socialization so you don't burn out but remember that this is a time to learn and prepare yourself for life. You really should work on prioritizing, since your time will bes somewhat limited, this will be a good time to learn to set goals and apply yourself as this is a big component of life. Friends are important too, but whether you make close friends or not at this stage in your life, the biggest factor should be learning and discovering what you really want to do in life and learning to do it well.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would warn myself about how homesick and lonely I would get as a college freshman. I never thought that I would get homesick because I have never minded being away from home, but since school has started, I have missed my animals and my friends so much. I have made a couple of friends at school, but the new friends just do not seem to compare to my friends back home. I would also warn myself that it would be a lot harder to find a job than I expected it would be. I thought that with my work experience as dedication, I would not have a problem finding a job once I got to school. I was wrong. It took me forever to find a job, and even then it was only a couple of days per week. I was really nervous for a while that I would not be able to find one.

In college you are continually asked to reach new heights, whether it be academically or mentally, and if you are going to be successful you must always have the confidence in yourself that you will be able to meet these new challenges. I have seen many students at college that have more potential than they know, and if they were to only gain a little more confidence in themselves, I know they would be able to achieve dreams they may have never thought possible. My second word of advice is to always have the motivation and drive to make it through any hardship that may come your way. No matter how impossible it may seem, I can promise that you can make it through. You will face many challenges during your college life, in and out of the classroom alike, and you will face situations that will through you for a loop, but it is through these challenges and situations that you will shape yourself into the remarkable person you will become. Right now you are a person who is full of potential, decide who you want to be, and become a person who can be an inspiration to all.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice I would tell myself how important studying and being involved in clubs and organizations is. In high school, studying did not seem as important as much as it really was. If I would have taught myself how to study, I would have better prepared myself for college. I also would tell myself to get involved in more clubs and activities. Being involved in organizations in college helps college students stay active and make new friends. The last thing I would tell myself is to put as much time and effort possible into finding scholarships. I now realize how many scholarships there are out there and I could have prevented the stress and work finding the scholarships today. Although there are things I would tell myself to do differently, I do believe that I did well my senior year. I am glad I took AP and dual credit courses to get some classes out of the way. So if I went back in time, I would tell myself to study more, get involved, find more scholarships, and keep up the hard work and effort in everything else.

The advice I would give myself is to do it. You need a college education in todays time. You can not go and get a coaching, teaching , job without a degree. My parents did not get a college degree. They had to get a job when they were old enough to work. My parents said with my knowledge and ambition that I need to use it . I am the type of person that has the desire to better myself. I am willing to work hard in order to accomplish my goals. My goal is to prolong my education because I want to be someone in life. I want to help people who are less fortunate and even if I help one person. I know I have done some good. I plan to pursue a career in the exercise science. I have learned alot from my coaches throughout my high school and now I want to help others, the way my coaches assisted me. I want to help people especially the younger generation who are our future. My parents have had a huge impact on my life and it is because of them that I am the person I am today.

i would say that when you first enter college its kinda nerve wrecking because you have enetered a whole new schooling experience. You can manage your own time and you make new friends. You are also away from home and away from your parents so you get kind of home sick but after a while you get used to being away from them and you will always have your friends there to help you and each other out. I would definatley say stay away from parties and drinking because it can get you in trouble and it can also make you lose friends and mess up relationships. Always go to class and always do your work. You will regret it later when you havent been going to class and you see that you are failing. You should also think about joining a club or a sorority to keep yourself busy and to stay out of trouble. Always maintain a positive attitude and always seek help from a friend or a professor if you are having trouble with work. College is fun! Socialize and make new friends! Keep yourself busy and stay out of trouble :) bye!

First, make sure you learn everything possible about financial aid. It is good for your parents to be involved at first; however, this is the beginning of the rest of your life. It is important to know about the financial aid process and to get involved with your own financial decisons. Moreover, I would advise that you apply for as many scholarships as possible. Tuition is not cheap and the money adds up quick. You will be glad you did it after graduation. Another helpful money and time managment tip is in reference to commuting vs. living on campus. If you are planning on going to school more than 45 minutes from your home I recommend that you live on campus. When you live far from campus it makes for an expensive commute and it also takes up valuable time. If you need to live at home then try to find a closer school. Last but not least, take caution in spreading yourself too thin. Extra-curricular activities are great for social net-working and healthy living; however, take it slow. Give yourself plenty of room, and the chance to discover what your personal interests trully are before committing yourself.

One thing is for sure; I would have prepared myself better. I'm not talking about getting ready for the workload or the professors that preach to you for two hours without stopping, that I could handle. What I didn't anticipate was how hard it was to fit in. After years of having the same friends, the same routine, I was use to the way things were. If I could go back I would tell myself to branch out and stop being so shy. I would have encouraged myself to maybe be more involved in class discussions. However, that may not have even worked. More than likely I would have told myself to go to a different college, one that I already had friends at to make the transition from being at home to being on my own a whole lot easier.

I would tell myself to really do all the scholarships I see and recieve information on, and to go look and keep on looking for many different scholarships, and to then just keep applying for as many as possible, because college really isnt cheap at all. I would tell myself to do and be involved in more extracurricular activities, especially more community services activities, or just anything that looks good on applications because that really comes in handy when applying for just about anything, especially jobs. I would also tell myself to concentrate in class more and actually try to remember and not forget the thing I learn. I also would tell myself to read more books, read the more important types of literature. All in all I would tell myself to seriously get started early on taking my SAT and ACT tests and just getting ready for college as a whole.

If i had a chance to go back in time i would better preapre fo college by taking as many college credit classes, in which most of the time are free. Another thing i would do is to try to have the best grades possible because some schools give scholarships according to your GPA, the better youor GPA is the more financial aid they will give you. I would also manage my time more wisely and not be procastinator.

I would tell myself to go out and experience as much as you can. The good the bad and everything in between.

try for the 4.0 the first semester that will set the pace for your next 3 years and open doors for lots of opportunity the next year

If I could go back in time and speak to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to have fun! Of course you must go to class and keep up with your assignments-it's the only way to be successful at this university. Go to study groups and get involved in activities that interest you. When you first arrive at your new university it may seem like nobody is like you, but the only way to be sure is to actually go out and meet new people. Don't stay in your dorm room because the time goes by too fast to miss out on anything. You will make life-long friends while you are in college, but you should also be careful not to trust everyone. People are attending this university that have grown up very differently than you have so be aware of that and know who you really are so you won't lose sight of that. Be yourself and everyone else that matters will follow you and help you succeed in whatever you might end up doing in the future!

Learning how to be independent can be scarey sometimes, but it can also be fun. Keep a positive outlook on everything you do whether it's making a quick desicion such as, "Do I really have enough money to spend on coffee right now?" or even bigger desicions such as, "What should I major in?" and " What do I want to do with my life?" Take life a day at a time and don't stress yourself out. Everything will come together in the end, but in the meantime continue to work hard and do what you love. Once you discover what you love to do, do it! And show others why it's so great! If you love to paint, paint an amazing mural for the world to see. We were all created to learn and grow together and to share our talents and passions with one another. Keep believing in yourself and in what you love to do, even if no one else does; because you will make a difference and impact someone someday. Growing as a person indepedently and learning how to help and work with others will make you successful in any college career.

I would tell myself that it is important to see how many classes the school offers. I would suggest that they live on campus at least for their first year to exprerience the dorm life and bonding with your classmates. Also be very careful about how many loans you are taking out and apply for as many scholarships as you can. Schreiner makes it easy to apply for as many scholarship as you can. Choose to eat on camus instead of spending money off campus, and be careful about spending habits in general. If you have a low attention span i suggest you go to a school that has small class sizes to help keep you interested. And school comes first above all other activities you can do on campus. it may be easy to skip class but it is not benifical and is simply a waste of your money.

I never developed good study skills in high school because of all the repetition we did during class time. So coming into college I had to learn what it really meant to study for the first time and it was pretty difficult. I wish that I could tell myself how different the academics are once you get to college. I also would tell myself to be fearless when it comes to meeting new people in those first couple of days. Don't be afraid to approach someone that may be different from the people you knew in high school. They are the ones that are going to make you into a well rounded person and provide you with perspectives that can turn your way of thinking upside-down.

Go somewhere where you can just be yourself. Finding a place that builds it's foundations on what you believe and stand for is key, because being somewhere where what you strive for is not a common goal is difficult; so get your priorities straight before making a choice. Because once you are here, you can really step back and see what you want to stand for; what can stay and what needs to go. So, having a place that will help you step back and see that perspective, then act on the changes you want to make is vital to growth. Because, a choice based on parties, sports, and money are empty and will change rapidly; go somewhere where you will love to wake up everyday, no matter how hard the course-load may be. Because at the end of the day, it should matter how YOU feel on the inside; that's really the only thing that counts for anything.

I would tell myself to get into some more honors classes than what I originally took. Also, I would have gone and done more volunteer work too.

Go to class and really try.Spend time learning and enjoying the opportunity set before me.Decide up front to work hard and put the time in to be prepared each day. To explore different fields of study and to work at the classes that are not necessarily fun. To not give up when it gets really tough. Don't focus only on athletics. To be friendly to everyone and meet as many different people as possible. To join a service organization and give to the community. To strive for excellence in class and outside class. To establish a strong network of like minded and focused students to help me keep the focus. To actually understand the value of knowledge and understanding. To thank my parents for all they sacrificed to get me to this point and to appreciate this opportunity. Understand that there is plenty of time to find a mate and get married. To understand that drinking and partying is a dead end street and a huge waste of money and time. Spend a lot of time on my knees thanking God and praying for wisdom.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice about college I would tell myself that college was not going to easy. College is completely different from high school because there is no way you can pass an exam without studying. In college you have to take on the responsibilty of attending class, setting aside time to study, and putting in all your effort into assignments. You have to put in the work and be a hundred percent dedicated to school. Sometimes classes can get tough, your stress level will be full force, and all you will want to do is give up. I would advise myself to keep your head up and don't lose focus. There is an answer to everything and all you have to do sometimes is look in an unexpected place. Be prepared to fight with your roommate over the simplist issue like toilet paper and don't over complicate the little things. Find prodictive ways to relieve stress and and most importantly always get enough sleep.

Seeing myself back in time would be horrible because it would totally ruin the space time continum thing for sure. If it didn't though, I would defintely tell myself to learn how to study, and study as much as possible,for it will save your life.

If I could go back in time to my Senior year I would tell myself a lot about my college life today. I would sit down with myself and tell myself to really think about my future before I make a decision on the first try. To over rethink about going to school in Iowa and stay in Texas and attend Schreiner University like I should have. I would remind myself to think smart about money issues and to always remember the reasons why I am going to attend College. I would remind myself to always strive for my best and to never give up, so that I could be the first person in my family to Graduate from College.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would definitely start planning for college a lot earlier than I originally did. Neither of my parents went to college, so both of them and I were a little unsure of the process. I also would not have declared a major during my freshman year of college. I think if I would have waited it would really allowed myself to find a field that I was truely interested in.

For Schreiner, the transition wasn't so bad. Small town High School to a small campus college wasn't a hard switch. However, definately, for school work I would have better prepared myself. I wish I would have known that I really needed to be extremely organized with dates and keep up with my Schreiner 1 account and email. If I had a dollar for how many times I walked into class and didn't even know that I had an assignment due I'd be so rich I wouldn't need to be in college. The people at SU are so welcoming for the most part and the teachers, for the most part, really don't want to see you fail. That's noting to be taken advantage of, nevertheless. I wish I could go back and use my planner more often and I'm sure if I lived on campus organization and studying would so much easier for me.

If I could go back and tell myself anything about college, it would be to step outside my comfort zone and keep a more open mind. I signed up for a private room and didn't participate much in campus activities at first. I think if I'd had the courage to open up to other people, I'd have had a much easier transition. College is all about discovering who you are. I went in to college, determined to know who I was from the onset and never change my major. I'd tell myself to explore all my interests, no matter how small they were, just in case they led to opportunites I never might have imagined. In college, you can study so many different subjects and anything is possible. I'd tell myself that it's okay to change, to just be myself. Most of all, I'd tell myself to search out happiness first, instead of trying to find a major that'll lead to a good money making job. In the end, money will matter very little if you are able to find those things that make you happy.

I would tell my self to make sure that I apply for all scholarships ahead of time. and not wait tell the last minute. make lots of time to study and do home work. but also make time to rest because if you dont get enough rest it effects your ability to understand what is going on in class. and it makes you more likely to get sick. I would also tell my self to not procrastinate as much and waiting tell the last minute to do projects and homework. and the last bit of advice that i would give my self would be to make sure that i got enough grants and scholarships so that i would be able to stay on campus instead of driving an hour every morning.

I was a smart student in high school, but I just never really pushed myself to be better than just good. I would tell my senior self not to just get by in school. I graduated in the top ten percent but I know that I could've done better than that. I know that if I had tried a little harder, my ranking would've been higher than with what I graduated with. I would tell myself to take harder classes with bigger responsibilities, because that is what college is basically like. In college, one is responsible for looking up when certain assignments are due. I would tell myself not to be scared to take more advanced classes in my senior year, because I know that I can and will succeed in them. I would go back and tell myself to give it all I have and then more, because I know that it is in me to succeed and do great.

College is what you make it to be, but it is not completely like high school. It can be the greatest, toughest, most amazing time of your life and you need to take advantage of everything that you are able to observe and learn. My advice to you graduating this year is be open to new experiences, make school a top priority, don't be afraid to call home, and be prepared for anything. You must become accustomed to a new schedule, learn time managment, good study habits, and most importantly, sleep. Stay away from drugs and alcohol, they will distract you from doing your school work and can set you back in your classes. Don't procrastinate, it'll make you stress out and your work will show it. Get involved in study groups and set times to study during the week and keep to them. Making new friends will help you to get through hard times that are going to come up during the next years, whether it be family or school related. You will learn hard lessons while being in college, but you then realize that the hardest lessons are the most beneficial.

The only thing i would tell myself is to go out there and to jump into as many conversations as you can. Meet new, people make new friends, and be spontanious.

To don't worry about what people will think about you and that there is nothing to bre scared of. For one almost every freshamn is scared and is having the same feeling.

Always be open to new things, and be aware that you don't know everything about everyone.

If given the remarkable opportunity to travel back into time and guide myself throught my senior year, I would sure have one piece of crucial advice that not only I could benefit from, but others could as well. The transition from high school to college is huge and marks a very significant point in each individual's life. By leaving home and coming to Schreiner University to recieve not only recieve an education but to grow as a human, I have learned one thing in particular. During one's senior year they cannot have a set image of what college life will be like. They will simply have to keep an open mind upon entering the college of their choice and be ready for the most extreme to mild changes they will soon have to over come. You need to prepare yourself for the best and worst situations, along with getting ready to take on life as a strong and courageous human being. Accepting change will help anyone's transition into college life.

I would tell myself to make sure that I always focus on school and to study more. I would tell myself to make good decisions, in general and money-wise. I would also make sure to tell my self to pick a good course load and make sure I am okay with the schedule and classes I have chosen. And to just have fun and make this the best experience of your life!

I would let myself know that change doesn't have to be a bad thing in our life. I shouldn't worry so much about being so far away from home. My family won't be mad at me because I am going so far away. They will continue to encourage me and support me through the transition. It will be hard at first. There is no doubt about that, but you will get a great roomate who will include you in along with her family. You have a rough patch or two, but you can never break the bond we have grown to have due to the experiences we have shared. The world is a scary place, but there is always some one who will be willing to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. Everything will be better than you could ever have imagined. Stay strong and believe.

I would tell myself to relax and take it easy. Your senior year is not the time to shine and make a diferece in collge, its who you have become as you've grown up, your personality, characteristics, smarts, and service. Also, take thingsone day at a time and pu off "senoritous" as long as possible because it only hurts your grades in the long run. You are an incredible student, friend, leader, and sister, with yourpositive attitude, strong beliefs, determination, andresonsibilit, you can and will accomplish many great tasks tht might have once been considered daunting. Love the life you live and dont regret one day of it. You are prepared and will do fine in college! Don't be scared of new beginnings!

College is a whole new level. You learn to be more self-dependant and you can't rely on others to do your work. Be prepared to live life on your own. Not everyone is nice and will treat you like a baby. You are responsible for your actions.

"Tyler, you are creating bad habits for yourself by not studying. Yeah, you're naturally smart but it won't be as simple once you get to college. Right now, teachers are spoon feeding you, prying your mouth open, and making you regurgitate and memorize certain material for an upcoming test. In college you actually have to understand the information to achieve the grade you expect. That is all the advice I have for you 'Tyler of the past,'" says "future" Tyler. "Actually, one more thing;" says Tyler of the future, "you should start learning how to clean up after yourself, because your roommate won't like your shoes sprawled across the room, and your mother won't be there to remind you. That is all."

The first piece of advice I would give myself is to not dorm with your best friend. You will get into petty fights all the time since you are so close. I was worried about living with another roommate and living in the dorm. Since I have not regretted living with a roommate. She has introduced me to people that are now my closets friends at Schreiner. Don't give into peer pressure. Even though most of your friends will drink and smoke you don't have to. There is plenty of other pressure too. Do not get drunk on school nights. It doesn't matter how much water you drink the next day, you will still have a bad hangover for class. Also do not pick morning or evening classes if you can help it. You need as much sleep as possible, and it is nice to sleep in. The evenings are for spending time with friends. You need to balance your social life and school life. To much of either is not a good thing. Ask your teammates which professors they reccomend to make classes easy and you can also ask them for help with homework.

First I would tell myself to participate in more after school activites because as much as I hated the idea of them they really count on a college application. I would also practice managing my personal time better. In college there is no one here to tell you "don't forget you have homework, a project and a paper due by this time next week." If I would have been better about managing my time I would of found myself not having to reach for that pot of coffee at all hours of the night. Thirdly, I would have taught myself how to take better notes in class and that would enable me study better for tests. No professor or tutor even is going to give you a study guide in handout form, they simply lecture and then tell you "ok test over the previous lectures on this day." Trust me they won't think twice about giving a student a 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. Lastly, I would practice my test taking skills, when tests make up sometimes 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of your final grade test taking ability really counts.

I would like to see the senior class of every high school take their own weekend trip to any university of their choice. This decision would help them understand the universities enviornment and the different activites that go on. This experience would be done undercover so universities are not showing off their skills one weekend out of that semester. Having the senior class away from their parents and at their dream university would bring some insight of meeting future people the following year. this experience will help cope with distance from family, a step to independency, a start with time management of studying time and a start with social life. In the high school the senior class should have college students come in and answer questions, give testimonies of their experiences at their university they are attending. This will bring enlightenment for the high school seniors to start making their own decisions. Hearing testimonies would bring real life experiences and hopefully wise decision making for the next generation.

If I could go back in time and give myself, advice, or perhaps other students too, I would tell them not to slack off on their academics. Trying to bump your grade up to a higher letter grade is a lot harder than it seems. Do not just show up to class and expect to simply pass the class; do not aim to simply pass a class. Put in your best effort besides the 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} you do in high school classes. College classes are not that easy like your high school senior classes are. Attend routine study sessions that your professors provide for your class and take detailed notes. If a professor repeats something or takes the time to write something specific on the board, you write it down also because it will more than likely be on the test. Do not study for a test the night before your exam. Study days or even weeks ahead of time so you grasp the concept of the lesson and do the homework so you do not fall behind the other classmates. Plus, by doing the homework, it makes it easier on you. Have fun, but stay focused on your studies first.

Learn how to be by yourself and make time for yourself. Don't put off homework until the last minute.

If I could go back in time and advice myself about college I would tell myself to be very wise and do a lot of reserach a on colleges and college life and be open minded. I would tell myself to apply as many scholarships as I could because since I want to become a teacher there are people who are looking for me to give me free money; all I need to do is to look for them. I would tell myself that college is expensive, but there is nothing better than having a career and making money than flipping burgers or cleaning dirty motel rooms. One very important thing would be to find and ask students who are attending college and ask them for advice, such as how to manage time, which courses to take, how to study, what to do in time of stress, and other questions. Is very important to know what to expect before stepping into a foreign place (college). I would tell myself to be aware how to manage my money and to take every opportunity. I would tell myself never to be ingorant and assume things; this two things are your worst enemies.
