My advice to any parent who's child desires to attend college is to support them and do whatever you can to help them make that next step. The a student who is seeking the right college, seek the Lord about what college you attend. Search all of their information about your major or what you desire to do upon graduation. I would further go on to research the professors, the faculty, and staff...will they assist me in my educational persuit? Once you have decided upon a college and are enrolled, seek to prepare yourself for the upcoming semester. If you can, grab a syllabus and start working ahead on some of your projects. Once you are there, seek to make new friends and organize your social and academic schedule...it will pay off in the end!

College is what you make of it. Always remember why you are there. If you keep your academics as a priority, you will end up more satisfied down the road; and it also leaves you guilt free when you do take time for your social life. Find out exactly where you fit on both the social and the academic scene, and take every opportunity that will better you as a person. Make friends that are supportive of you and your ideas, and get advice from teachers that you are comfortable with. Do not be afraid to be independent. Make your own choices instead of following the crowd all the time. Work hard, and have fun; and you will never regret your decisions.
