What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I could talk to the younger version of myself, I'd encourage myself to get invovled sooner and more often. College has so much to offer to a student, and I think the average person doesn't take advantage of that. I would tell myself to not treat it as a job or burden, but to see college as a fun experience that you'll never forget. College may be some of the best years of someone's life, so I believe you should get as much out of it as you can. I'd also tell myself to establish more relationships with my professors. These are some of the smartest people you will ever come across in your life, and I think you should take advantage of those relationship opportunities. I'd tell myself to keep a solid balance between school and social life, but also understand that your education is extremely important and to take it seriously. I'd encourage myself to not sleep through my years in college. This is the time of your life to be active and involved. You should be creating relationships, having fun, and building your future.

I wish I knew how competitive the nursing program could be, I was not aware that the process of selecting nursing students could come down to a fraction of a point. I have come so close to being accepted for two semesters in a row, only to be told that I had to reapply. I was counting on this program to start my career however they changed the testing process halfway through my education process and made it easier for some students than others. The testing process has not been fair and that has been disappointing.

i LOVE my professors. they are all super nice and helpful. yes i have had a bad teacher, just one, but on the whole my teachers have been amazing. i have taken classes from widely published professors who are more than helpful and offer office hours when you can just go sit and pick their brain about anything related to the subject of the class or their specific area of study. all of my teachers have represented a real vigor for the class an what they are teaching and it make it far more fun to learn from them.
so so so so so so so much better than getting taught by some random grad student who doesn't know diddly compared to the actual professor
