University of Tulsa Top Questions

If I traveled back through time and met my high school senior self, this is what I would say. “Hey, it's me. I mean it’s you. Anyway, there are some things you need to know about college before you pack up and move in to your new life. You should consider making a checklist of your personal goals and expectations of campus life. Why, you may ask? It's simple. You need to write down your goals so that you can stay focused on what you want to accomplish in your studies and personal development. You need to make a list of expectations so that you can evaluate how campus life has measured up. This is more important than it sounds. There are many opportunities to try new things and a vast list of important dates. This makes keeping focus of your personal goals and expectations difficult. If you could keep track of what you expect out of your campus experience, then you can do something about the missing experiences by keeping your eye open for similar opportunities or creating your own opportunities if necessary. If you do this for me, buddy, I will thank you later.”

I would tell myself to start much earlier. That the advantage of applying and creating as many opportunities as possible is astounding. I would inform myself that working hard to apply to as many schools as I could, and as many scholorships as I could now would make my life easier later. I only applied to one school, and now I know I should have given myself several options. I would tell him to work on his writing skills, and improve his ACT score. I would also tell myself that even though this last year of high school seems long I should cherish the time I will spend with my freinds. I may not see some of the people I have gone to school with all my life ever again. I'm sure I would appreciate the advice.

If I could go back and give myself some insight about college, I would start by saying that it is going to be a lot harder than high school ever was, but I'm going to love everything about the experience. I would continue to advise myself by giving these words: College is going to be the best time of your life, but you need to remember the main part of it, and that is your education. You are paying a large amount of money to be here, so make the most of it and study hard. You will have time for friends, but your homework should be priority. These times/classes are preparing you for your future, so don't waste a single minute. Take advantage of all the study opportunities and help offered to you because they are guaranteed to positively affect your grades. You want to finish with a strong confidence that you are going to succeed in your major and the only way to do that is to take college seriously while learning to balance work and play. You will be fine as long as you never give up. Never, never give up.

To a high school senior, choosing a college can be a daunting and stressful task. Choosing where to spend the next four years of your life seems like a big decision, and it is. But it is important to realize that there are many good options. There are many fine colleges where you can get an excellent education and form lasting friendships. Once you have narrowed down your choices to a few choice options, don’t let the decision process cause you too much stress. Weigh the options and choose the one that makes the most sense based on what appeals to you, what you can afford, and how you liked the campus when you visited. Once you’ve chosen, go forward whole-heartedly and don’t look back. You will have a wonderful college experience at the school you choose. You won’t regret your choice.

If I could talk to my high school senior self, I would have told myself to push even harder to get the Presidential Scholarship from the University of Tulsa. The scholarship I recieved was great, no doubt, but I know I could have done better in order to get a full ride from my favorite school.

I would tell myself that college is a major decision that will ultimately affect the way the rest of my life financially. From a financial point of view, colege is a very lucrative investment of both time and money. College classes will range anywhere from three hundred dollars to a thousand dollars depending on both college, and area of study. However, the long term advantages of getting a degree, make it all worth while. A typpical high school graduate will make anywhere from minimum wage to between nine and ten dollars per hour, while a college graduate will make roughly twenty dollars per hour as a starting pament. This figure also will vary greatly with the area of study a student chooses. Computer scinece makors earn a starting pay of between twenty-two and thirty-three dollars per hour. So the adivce I would give myself is; Though college takes a great deal of time, effort and money, the benefits it offers make it worth your while.

If I could go back to my high school years and give myself any piece of advice, I’d tell myself “get involved”. High school is the perfect atmosphere to get involved in extras curricular activities such as Honors clubs, Athletics, Student Government etc. Getting involved helps build character as well as giving you the opportunity to discover your strong points. During high school I spent more time socializing than actually participating in any school activities, and once I entered college I found that it was difficult for me to find my so called “click”. It took me about a year to muster the courage to get involved in school organization’s as well as well as volunteering within my community and I found the experience was quite rewarding. Had I had the right mind set to be more “involved” within my high school career, it would have been much easier for me to know exactly where I fit in within my college life. Networking as well as being part of groups and organizations has helped plenty in my effort to expand my social life within college, opening opportunities for me everywhere.

I feel that I made a wise choice after high school by going to a junior college first. It was the smartest transition for me! I enjoyed the internships and that was smart to get hands on experience. My advice to myself would have been to stay in Florida and get a job at one of the four places I interned while in school.

I would tell myself to check out more schools, and to try and focus more on getting outside scholarships! TU gave me the best scholarships for their price, but I didn't shop around colleges as much as I should have, especially because I ended up switching majors in my Freshman year, and TU doesn't have a very well-rounded English program. Moreover, I would let myself know that it is really important to know about your money situation---for example, I lost my Federal Work Study for this coming year, my Junior year, because I wasn't on top of getting my FAFSA completed and submitted. Also, don't be afraid to look for outside scholarships! You don't always get them, but putting in that extra work might get you a few extra hundred dollars, and while that doesn't seem like a lot now, it'll be a lot after paying off a bunch of student loans. I would also tell myself that it is alright to look at schools in my own state. Change is good, but remember your family is important, too.

The first thing I would tell the high school version of me is that as she transitions from high school into college, she should pursue her interests and make plans; dream. I would tell her to think about the future and take it seriously, but to not be afraid of it! My first two years of college have helped me with learning how not to live in fear. There are countless times in life where we are motivated by fear, and it does nothing but limits us and keeps us from becoming the person we aspire to be. We are afraid of doing poorly on our work, afraid of the future, and afraid of what others think. I have spent too much of my life worrying about pleasing others at the expense of my own happiness. I would tell her not to live like that. The last thing that I would tell her is to be thankful for everything, even upsetting experiences. Our responses determine the effect that they have on us, and they help shape who we are. I have learned that even sad times can instill compassion and joy in our hearts, bringing us happiness and fulfillment.

Do everything you can to be involved in school and get straight A's and good test scores. It is so hard to find scholarships your senior year in high school because you have no more time to improve your grades and impress those who choose scholarship recipients. It can be so simple to get a full ride scholarship to a great University and never have to worry about how you are going to afford college. All you have to do is stay productive and get good grades. It may seem worth it to procrastinate, or date, or hang out with friends instead of putting 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} effort into studying, but my greatest regret is that I could've tried just a little harder, been at the top of my class, and had my choice of schools for free.

Graduating from a class of 150, my school was somewhat small. It had a few AP courses, which I took, but I was not significantly challenged as a high school student. If I could go back and talk to myself as a senior, I would tell myself that college will not only be an amazing time, but it will also be a challenge. Coming to the University of Tulsa, I knew the curriculum was hard, but I didn't necessarily anticipate what went into being a college student. After almost two semesters, I've learned a lot: studying is a must, prioritizing helps, and relieving stress is necessary. I would tell myself that college isn't easy and there will be times you want to give up, but to believe in yourself and keep going. I would say that college is goign to be the best time of my life, so make the most of it while you prepare for the future you've dreamt about your whole life.

Because my major is Exercise in Sports Science/Pre-Med I was never made aware that I had to have a Pre-Med advisor. My current advisor never let me know of this information so I was put behind in some of my classes. There were classes that I had to take at a certain time my freshman year that I wasn't enrolled in until my junior year. Because of this, I have been somewhat struggling to take all the necessary courses that are needed for medical school and still graduate on time. I have also been working 40hrs a week to help support my mother and sisters while taking a huge load of courses. I would tell my self to accurately plan out my schoolwork process with my advisor based on my career plan so I would not be struggling at the end academically and financially.

I would inform myself that work ethic and motivation are extremely important in your college career. You do not attend a University to simply earn a degree, you go to learn and develop practical knowledge that will assist you in your career field. You must keep an open mind and never allow yourself to become to comfortable with one method of thinking. Allow your mind to encompass all perspectives and develop a knew sense of understanding. With this understanding you can work hard and push yourself to do great things in the time that you have at college. You have been given a tremendous gift of having the priviledge to attend a place of higher education where you can realize your full potential.

Staying organized at all times and not procrastinating would have been great traits to learn and practice in high school, but I chose to put more emphasis on figuring out ways to get out of class and get to my part time job fueling planes at a nearby airport. Aviation and making money were much more interesting and rewarding to me at the time. Taking school seriously and working hard to learn all of the math I could would have also been very beneficial to me in making the transition from high school to the Univesity of Tulsa. I would advise Luke to spend less time trying to be funny and entertaining and more time studying and applying himself. I would advise Luke to follow the rules which would have kept him in the classroom more and in the principal's office less which would have led to a more disciplined and better educated student with better skills for transitioning from high school to college. If I could go back in time to being a senior in high school, I would advise Luke to take his parents advice in order to become a successful college student.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to buckle down and take the harder classes. I know so many students that were admitted to a university with 50 or more credits already under their belt. They earned every single one through AP and IB tests because they buckled down and took the harder classes. I really enjoyed my high school years. I enjoyed getting to spend close personal time with my friends and feeling like I could do whatever I wanted. I know that I had the time to do that because I took classes that were too easy for me and I breezed right through them. Looking back, I know that I would rather have that time now, but I don't have the credits to cover my general education classes like my friends do. They get to have fun, only taking the classes that they enjoy while I have to tac on extra courses every semester. I miss out on a lot of opportunities in college just because I was lazy back then. Trust me, a lot of college fun happens out of the classroom. Don't miss it!

I often dream about going back in time and even though I am only 23 I would like to change so many things in my life. If I could have a conversation with the 18 years old Georgiana I would ask her to re-consider her future plans for college. This way she could avoid wasting 3 years of her life going to Law School since she is a very practical person and she loves helping people instead of being a lawyer. The 3 years spend in Law School helped me gain experience and I don't regret it, I am happy that I chose the right career for me now and I will work hard to make my dreams of being a nurse come true. College is not only about a better job, is about personal growth, besides improving your knowledge you become a more responsible and a better person.

If I could go back in time and give advice to my high school senior-self about college life and the transition from high school to college, it would be about time management. When you arrive at school and begin classes, it seems like you have so much time in comparison to the time spent in the classroom in high school. What most students fail to realize is that for every hour spent in class, there are 2-3 hours that should be spend studying outside of the classroom if you really want to succeed in the course. Also, don't be hesitant to approach the professors with questions - they are there to teach you, and most of them love to have discussions with students about their respective subjects.

As a high school senior, I was eager to get out and be on my own. I graduated early and lived at home for a year, moving out the following Summer. I was given the opportunity by a family friend to pay for on campus housing, and I refused. I was convinced it would be terribly miserable. After being diagnosed with Neurocardiogenic Syncope (combined with the apocalyptic parking situation of Florida State!), I received some attendance failures which I am still attempting to get taken off of my record. I think if I had lived on campus it would have given me the opportunity to be so involved, and it would have helped me to grow as a person to be thrown into an unfamiliar situation. This does not just apply to on campus housing, however. I would reassure myself not to be nervous, and to let myself experience college to the fullest and try everything I could!

I woild love to have the opportunity to go back and talk to my high school self. I would tell the young me to start learning how to study. I may have been able to breeze through high school by only studying the day before a test, but it doesnt work like that in college. College life is not all about the work, there is plenty of time to have fun and make memories, but learning how to properly sit down and devote a few hours a day to work on homework or study for a test would have made my first two years of college much less stressful. I would also tell highschool me to figure out what I really want to do with my life. I thaught i wanted to go to meddical school, but i was not aware of the course work that is required fr that path. After two years in the wrong major, I am under pressure to finish my degree on time. I would tell my self that college is going to be stressful, there is no way around it, but it is also where you will develope into who you want to be.

I would do whatever it takes to go to college right after high school>

I would tell my former self that being connected at college is really important. I should have spent more time meeting others and participating at the start of school so that I would have a headstart later on. Especially in relation to computer-related clubs and meetings, I could have learned a lot about the industry from there.

When I was in high school I thought that I knew it all and was untouchable. I should have listened more to what I was being told. I wish that I would have soaked up more information.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would first tell myself that the transition from a small California high school to a university in Olkahoma is going to be one of the hardest things you will ever have to endour. In the beginning it will be tough not knowing people, but as long as you keep swallowing your fears and putting yourself out there, people will invite you in and you will make great friends. The second thing I would tell myself is to never forget that school comes first. It can be hard to balance school and a social life, especially when there are a lot of fun activities and parties to attend, but you must always remember that your parents are putting a lot of their hard earned money into your education and are giving you the opportunity of a life time, so you cannot afford to let school work become a second priority; you cannot afford fail. And finally, I would tell myself to enjoy the experience, because, ultimately, college is going to have one of the biggest impacts on your life.

Whenever you go off to college you won't initially realize this but you're going somewhere where you know no one. Don't let this discourage yourself. You will be extremely lonely at first but don't let this put you down. There are plenty of students here that you will learn to not only like, but love. Make sure that everytime you have an opportunity to go somewhere and meet new people and just have fun, then go out and do it. It is important to manage your time and know what time is for studying and what time is for fun, but I know that you have already learned how to manage your time well. I want you to embrace the culture and people of this new school and realize that they are a lot like you. You don't have to change yourself in order to make friends. Instead, you should stay yourself and find the people who are attracted to your personailty. Also, don't forget to get involved with christian organizations because they will essentially be your favorite part about college because they are a great group of people. Have fun, don't stress.

Making the transition to college life is a task that all incoming freshmen need to make. Thankfully, universities recgonize the need for this transition so many universities offer orientation activities for incoming freshmen to help facilitate the transition. Even though the activities may seem "uncool," they are a great way to meet new people. The majority of freshmen attend these activities and are also shy. Don't be afraid to make the "first move" and start a conversation with someone new. You can't make friends if you don't talk. Having friends around at school helps take the relieve the pressure of just entering college.

There really isn't words for a teenager that doesn't want to listen, you live and learn, and at that age you think you know it all. If I could go back and talk to myself (if I would listen) I would say to follow your dreams, don't let anybody step in the way of what you want to achieve because believe it or not you will regret the wait. Listen to your elders don't just assume or blow them off, they are wise. One day of waiting causes you to be one day behind on achieving your goals.

I would give advice to myself to never slack in high school, because my grades will reflect in the future of being accepted to great universities. I would also give advice to myself to never slack, and to always find new ways to be organized and focused.

Never, ever, EVER let yourself fall into the rut of procrastinating til the night before to do an assignment. Develop the habit of studying for every class, whether you think you need to or not. Don't be afraid to call home. Don't let yourself be dragged into the drama. Stay single! That "other" is just going to distract you from what you came here for. But most of all - please, please, pleeeease! don't forget that the theater is your home, your heart, and your passion, so work your butt off to prove you belong; don't prove the "dumb theater kid" stereotype true - you know you can do it. Please. One last thing: In the midst of it all, don't forget who you're doing this for. You. "Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art."

If I could go back in time to my senior days in high school I would tell myself to take more honor classes and perform to my highest level of performance in the the class and study more so that it would prepare me for what to come in college.

Keep a completely open mind. Don't pass down opportunities to try new things, meet new people, see new places just because it seems "weird" or you never thought about it before. But do everything while sticking to your morals, and go with your gut feeling about things, it's usually right. You're mature, you have a great head on your shoulders - but don't get too confident about that - always remember you have so far to go, and so much to learn. Don't try to replace the best friends you had in high school, forge new friendships; once you realize the new friendships are different and uncomparable to the old, you will enjoy them so much more. In conclusion, trust your friends, trust your family, trust yourself, and trust in God.

Pursue more scholarships because your family will be hit hard financially with your brother also going to college then getting a second kind of cancer and will lose over half our business. Line up more medical field shadowing opportunities for the first two years. Take advantage of tutoring for the transition during freshman year. Do not be afraid to talk to your professors the first year, they are very accessible and do not feel intimidated. Do not underestimate yourself because a quarter of your classmates are national merit scholars and that 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of them came from private schools. Overall, do your best but do not beat yourself up if you do not make a 4.0 as long as you did your best.

Erika, I know you want to go far. I know you have big dreams. DON’T GIVE UP. Look around and make sure you breathe. You have done a lot of research on colleges all over the United States. But, you know what? Education is what you make of it. You will go through hard times and you will soar high. Take it in and enjoy yourself. Talk to everyone, smile and soak up anything you can. Never let go of tea, drink, and steep, and read. College is not all parties, don’t worry! You are serious about school but also let your hair down and enjoy a cup at the Coffee house. You will make mistakes, learn from it. Try out for the Vagina monologues and take back your sense of woman. Get to know your professors, they really are human and are so interested in you. It doesn’t matter that you were wait listed at the University of Chicago… education is what you make it to be, no matter where you go, you are your own and you want to learn. That is all that matters. University of Tulsa is full of opportunities, take them!

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school self, I would say, "Self. You really need to stop worrying about what everybody else is doing. You need to stop trying to fit in. Pay attention in your classes and really focus on learning because you're going to college! You're not just going to finish high school and not do anything for the next 5 years. After you wait too long, it'll get a lot more challenging and tougher for you to remember all the things you KIND OF paid attention to. Get on the ball and start filling out applications to colleges and for scholarships because if you don't, you'll just be trying your hardest to survive on minimum wage and going from job to job! If you want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of your life, go ahead! But I can guarantee you it's not where you want to be. Further your education so you can have a career, not just a job, that'll last you all your life!"

Knowing what I now know about my college and college life, my high school self would have felt very enlightened to have heard some advice like this: Just be confident in yourself and do what you do best. Everyone at a university has their own unique style and they all work together to form one of the most functional communities out there. Also, no matter how smart or good you think you are at something, when you get to college there is always some nerd who is smarter or better at it than you. Practice, study and tell your determined, resolute self within to do whatever it takes if you really want to excel in something.

I would tell myself to find an identity. In college, you have to take ownership of who you are. I would tell myself to figure out what I want to believe, and persue it full heartedly. I would say that my academic success depends on how much effort I decide to put in. Also, I would forwarn myself about how performance driven college is. I am an athlete on TU's track and field team, as well as a pre-med student. The pressures to perform come from all sides. This comes back to the identity issue. If I only knew who I am, and what my worth is, the tresses of transitioning into college would be much easier to handle. I started to realize this by the end of the second semester. Knowing that my self-worth isn't based on how my race goes, or how well I do on a test is very freeing.

Look for more scholarships becasause it is going to get more stressful months down the road. Don't rely on others and take matters into your own hands and make sure things get paid and that there is enough finances to back it. And NEVER give up.

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a senior, I would tell make sure and tell him to focus on what is important. Do not get caught up in the partying, but rather to take advantage of every opportunity that is available at the university. The world is yours if you take it seriously. It is not going to give you anything, you have to work for it.

"Don't worry about succeeding or failing. Don't worry about where things are or whether people will accept you. Enjoy the ride. You'll find your way around campus. You'll be surprised by the people you meet: the friends that will be just like you, and the ones that are different. You'll appreciate both types of friends because they'll each make your life more beautiful in their own unique way. Some days will be hard, and you'll wonder if you can survive. But you will. You'll rise to the challenges and overcome the obstacles. You'll realize that you absolutely love to learn. You'll find out what matters to you: who you are, and what you want to do with your life. You'll be different... the same kid who had big dreams, but also a new person, confident and sure of yourself. The University of Tulsa will give you that. You'll never be the same, and choosing to make TU your home will be one decision you'll never regret. I promise."

One factor sticks out when asked the question if I could talk to myself about what would ease my transition over to The University of Tulsa and that is stress. I grew up in a small town with a low percentage of peers who were going to attend college, none of whom going to The University of Tulsa. Therefore it was somewhat intimidating because I was taking on this experience blind with little applicable advice from others. Building on the previous statement, I believe that a certain amount of fear is good because fear is a good motivatior as well as a good indicator of integrity and a chance to test oneself in a once in a lifetime situation that cannot be replicated. In conclusion, the most important advice I would give myself would be more relaxed about the social aspects of college and still be fearful of the academic aspects. This advice would have lessened the amount of overall stress without losing the motiviational and focus to succeed in the classroom.

I would tell myself not to worry. I would tell myself that if I work hard and enjoy myself along the way that the challenging road ahead of me will be well worth it. I would also tell myself to never sell myself short, that I am fully capable of accomplishing my goals. I would remind myself that part of the experience of attending college is fully absorbing this special stage of my life that only comes once in a lifetime. I would tell myself to not pass up incredible opportunities and to keep working hard.

I would tell myself to take high school more seriously. Try to push yourself in all of your classes everyday and not to worry about what people may think of you. To ask your teachers for help with anything you need to know and not think that they will not help you that's their job to help. And not to be afraid of failing and if failed know the mistake and apply yourself harder then you did the first time. Also study, study, study.

Some advice I would give my high school self is to do research on different colleges and scholarships. I wish I would have had someone to guide me in the right direction for life after high school and what to expect. Definitely be social and make new friends. They will be your study buddy and best friend during the duration of that class and even beyond that. Don't ever hesitate to reach out to your professors or any other school resource in a time of need. They are there to help you. Study ten times more then you think you would ever need to and always stay on top of assignments and don't procrastinate. College is definitely difficult but with a good support group and a good head on your shoulders you will do just fine.

If I could go back in time and give my younger self advice, I would say to always trust my gut and keep calm. This may seem like a cliche phrase and that it's actually not in refernce to my stomach, but it's a way of trusting ones' instincts. My experiences involving TU have allowed me to understand the importance of my "gut feelings". It may sound weird as an approach to ones life, but it can be very helpful. On my first visit to TU my gut told me that this is where I belonged, that this place felt right. To this day I know thats true, there is something about the campus and the evironment that makes me feel like I'm at home. Along with telling me I'm in the right place my gut has allowed me to recongnize when something isn't right, either with a situation or a person, and trusting myself to fix it. I have also learned that nothing is worth stressing yourself over, and that if you stay calm you can get more done. This may not seem like the most inovative advice, but it has definitly helped me.

I would tell myself that while attending city college to take all of the english and math courses first.

Dear Ashley, High School Senior, This is your future self writing to tell you, do not hold back! I know, you don't really fit in anywhere in high school but in college, everyone finds a place to fit in and friends that are amazing. College is all about getting to know other people and collecting experiences from which to grow. It is always worse to regret the opportunities you let slide by than those you took a chance on and failed. Do not worry about how successful you will be; when you get here, you will see that you had no reason to worry. You make excellent grades and you will continue that in college, so take some time and have fun. Also, remember to apply for scholarship’s early, that’s why you’re getting this letter. Sincerely, You

Relax. College isn't so stressful. You need to work hard and study. Don't get distracted by friends or outside activites when it's time to study. You can still have a social life but school work comes first. Drinking isn't everything. Partying isn't everything. Just make friends and have fun while learning all that you can for YOUR future.

The best advice I would have to say is, apply for scholarships before you attend college. When I was in high school I had no one explain to me about the opportunity of scholarships. Now that I am in college I realize how there are organizations available that enjoy supporting students and their intended dreams. Applying for scholarships before you attend college is less stressful than trying to accomplish this task while attending college. Another piece of advice I would give myself is to not slack off during high school especially during your senior year. Reason being is because your senior year is the most crucial year. It affects your possibilities of attending a prestige college. Becoming involved in extracurricular activities teaches a person how to time manage, become responsible, and develop leadership skills. All these are excellent skills to acquire and present them while in college. Overall, try to get the most out of high school in terms of academics especially because college high school credited classes are being offered. These are some of the major things I would tell myself.

"Self, even though you really like chemistry and math, the idea of majoring in chemical engineering because it involves both subjects is a bad idea. The combination makes for a inexplicably boring major that just isn't right for you. Now, on the other hand, remember how much you hated biology during your junior year? Well, you actually really like it, you just weren't ready for it then. Just wait until you get to college, and you'll know it's the right subject for you. So heed my warning, and don't waste your freshman year mired in something you don't love. On that topic, I know you dread the possibility of being labeled a quitter. Well, loosen up. There are so many things going on in college that you might end up in a class, major, or job that's not right for you. Don't be afraid to just say no once in a while. Believe me, there is nothing worse than knowing full well that you are somewhere you don't really belong. Lastly, if you ever find yourself being pressured into something bad, just stay true to yourself and everyone will respect you.

My advice to my high school senior-self would probably go something like this: "Well, hello there stranger. You've done a lot of things right, but there are definitely some mistakes you need to work out. First of all, going to Chick-Fil-A every Wednesday, even if just to support your best friend who is working there, is a bad idea. Not only are you wasting your hard-earned money, but you're also killing your metabolism and sadly, making Chick-Fil-A hard to enjoy in the future (who would have ever guessed?!). Also, all that stress about what college to choose and what to do with your life- you're going to make the right decision, so stop pulling hairs. You're going to be bald by the time college comes around! Also, learn to study. And do your homework. It's a miracle you've gotten where you are. I bet if you tried a little harder and stopped blaming others, your future would be a lot easier. But I am very proud of you. You haven't died and you're still a fairly nice person. Good job, Kaitlyn. Keep up the good work."
