Judson College Top Questions

If I was to give myself advice for college life it is that you will make it through, and it will be worth it. Being away from the stress of home will be reliving. Yes, you will miss grandma, and your dog, but you will be fine. You will meet amazing women at this college and you will always have a helping hand. It will become your home, and you will find yourself not wanting to leave. Don't be afraid to ask for help, ever. Your work study boss is the kindest woman you have ever met. Do not procratinate on anything! You will need to work on your field hockey and basket ball, for hockey day and parents day cause you aren't that good honestly, haha. This school will mean more to you than you could have ever imagined.

If I could go back to my Senior self, I would give myself the only advice that matters, and that is the Gospel. I would remind myself of the reason that I'm here on this earth and the reason that Jesus died for my sins- to glorify God. I would remind myself that this life is NOT about me, it merely includes me . I would remind myself to live my life in such a way that every decision and choice I make serves as another step closer to God.

Dear Megan, As you, step onto Judson College campus remember to have an open mind to others and not to judge. You never do know what battle that person is fighting. You will experience battles yourself through college and as you face those battles remember there is always a lending hand. Do not be afraid to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is actually a good thing, holding your feelings in is never good. College is not easy and you will struggle in classes however, grades do not define who you are. Try your best not to procrastinate though, for it is not a good habit to start. Your sophomore year you will encounter a trauma that no individual should have to face. You will be sexually assaulted. Do not let the anger pour into your heart. Instead,use the story of what happened to you sooner. You will save more lives that way. Remember, God has a plan for you and that his delays are not denials. It is God educating your spirit to the finest temper of which it is capable of. Always follow your heart, when you feel peaceful then you are being a righteous woman to God. Love, Megan

I would take my senior year more seriously. I wasn't set on going to college becuase of my recent boyfriend. I would not let anybody else make my decisions for me, I would stand up and make them myself. I would start planning ahead of time instead of waiting till last minute. I always hear "I wish I could go back in time," I myself may always say that but honestly I don't mean it. Yes I went through a lot of hard times in my senior year but everything that happened to me in the past makes me who I am in the present and I wouldn't change that for the world.

Assuming that I could go back and speak to myself as a high school senior, I would give myself only one main piece of advice. I would suggest enjoying every moment I had left to spend with my father, my family, and my friends. Leaving home for college was possibly the hardest task that I had ever completed. I left everything I had grown to know. I had left my comforts, my friends, and my life to start anew. Do I regret the decision? Never; Do I wish I would have spent more time with my family? Most definitely; I believe that was my biggest flaw as a senior; I couldn't wait to leave. Now as I reflect upon the matter, I realize that leaving was the last thing that I wanted. However, the past is in the past and cannot be changed and truthfully, I do not believe I would not change if given the opportunity. As a result of leaving home and becoming my own individual, I have gained self-dependence, professionalism, and leadership. Judson College was the best decision of my life and the mere thought leaves me with no doubts about my decision.

High school cannot compare to college. Great advice I would give myself is to not procrastinate, apply for even more scholarships, get involved more in the community, and learn as much as possible. I would also tell myself to build up reading skills and learn how to study and to keep information as I am taking it in. I would even tell myself it doesn't matter what you look like or what friends you hang out with in highschool, in college no one cares. Everyone looks after theirself and minds their own business.

I have learned a lot about friendships and overcoming lack of sleep for over 24 hours straight. I will be honest, and it is very obvious in my answers for this survey, I am not exactly satisfied with the college I currently attend. I feel that this college tells students many false statements to get them to come to the school so they can get the tuition money. I also believe that this school should have a undercover investigator observe how this school runs and determine whether it be shut down or not. I am not trying to be pessimistic, I am simply stating what too many people of my school feel. I feel like we do learn somewhat, but at the same time we are being judge on our different ideas and lifestyles. It has been valuable to attend here because I have learned a lot about who I am and what I want.

Do not worry. As long as you depend on God to provide for you, everything will be fine. The person you least expect it will be the one that will always be with you. Your roomate and yourself will get along perfectly. You will bump heads a few times, but other than that, everything will be fine. You will love the atmosphere of being on campus. You'll love it so much, that you wish your on campus during break. And best of all, you will have friends that you never could have imagined. More importantly, they will become your sisters very quickly. Your professors will be there to help you enjoy your classes, even though some of them seem pointless and the professor is annoying, they will help you in every possilble way. Also, try not to take over 17 hours. It gets crazy after that! Be ready for traditions galour. Fun and excitment await for you.

High school is much easier than college, and with that being said I should have worked much harder for a higher GPA and ACT score. If I would have studied half as much as I do now I would know so much more. Being in college is a much more relaxed and stress free environment as long as you let it be. It is much harder in high school to stay away from all of the drama and hostility towards one another. Although in college, if you want to get away from something or someone then all you have to do is get up and leave no questions asked. The classes in college are also something I look forward to everyday and wish i would have taken advantage of that in high school, because school is a blessing.
