Lourdes University Top Questions

Going to college is a gift and is very valuable. Not only is college a time to further your education, but it is a time to find out more about yourself as a person. College is a time to figure out more about what you would like to do, what you would be good at, and something to work toward. Do not waste a single minute of your college education, both socially and academically. Embrace new friends, school programs and the knowledge obtained in the classroom. Once you find a path that fits you, give all that you can so when you are done you can serve the community with the best of your ability. College is difficult and requires hard work and dedication, but the outcome will last a lifetime. You can never reach a limit of learning and knowledge.

I would not have waited a year to go to College. I would have enrolled right away, and worked harder as a high school student so my grades would have been better. I am a much better college student, with a 3.57 GPA, compared to when I was in high school. I knew I always loved art, but I would have studied harder in my other classes, as they are a neccessity in daily life.

So here's the deal, I know what Im talking about because I am you. First of all stop procrastinating with your homework assignments and reading, your only setting yourself up for difficulty when you begin college. Get in the habit of doing a portion of your assigned readings each day so that you dont have 200 pages to read the night before an exam. Start on papers sooner rather than later so that you can get them finished and have more time to work on other projects or just so that your not so stressed out when the deadline arrives. Dont be afraid to ask for help when you need to. Your Professors want you to succeed but dont expect them to hold you hand, your a grown up so take responsibility but remember your not alone. Remember your goals, stay motivated and stay ahead of schedule to decress your amount of stress. Finally, eat right, exercise, get good quality sleep, take time for yourself and most of all believe in yourself because you are the only one who can make your dreams a reality. Good luck and I'll see you soon.

take a little time off to find what it is you really want to do. then, go to college and go all the WAY!!!!

College is really not that scary go get it finished before you have a ton of responsibilty. I choose to get a good job and go to school online but the online schooling the teachers were not helpful and did not care it felt like a waste of money so I redirected my life and ended up quiting my good job and going to school full time.

College is about your education and the foundation you receive for starting life. It is not something to take lightly, but you should still meet new people and become involved with campus life in the right responsible ways. College is not about the partying, but it is about the education and the socialization in meeting new and different people out there in the real world. Mom and dad are not there telling you to make sure you have stuff done on time, you have to be on top of things yourself and take responsibility for your own actions. College is a wonderful experience and will be remembered for the rest of your life.

I would say now you can do it. Get it done get the education over with.

Since I am a student who is returning to college later in life. I would tell my high school senior self to choose a college more carefully, and to use my time more wisely. I started my college career at a large state school in a major I was unsure of. I would tell my high school self to chose a school that would be able to help me succeed, and a major I am interrested in. I would tell myself to spend more time studing and less time socializing. I woulld suggest that I stay at home rather than in the dorms. Transitioning would have gone more smoothly if I had done these things. Talking to my college councelor more often would have helped me be more successful as well. She would have been able to help me transition into college and campus life better than I did on my own.

Life is hard. The longer you wait to continue your education the more likely you are to not go further. College life is fun. That is when you learn who you are and what you want to be. Go to college now, so you can get educated young and become a sucessful adult. Don't wait you will never know how important your education is untill you don't have one.

I would tell myself that it goes by fast(college), so don't give up and don't get lazy. There is no time for breaks and to not put effort into academics. This is going to be the most important part of your life and don't take it for granted. Lourdes makes the transition easy but it is up to you to do well. You have the power to control your future. People are there to help you but they can't do it all for you. The help you receive will make you a better person to help others. Keep up the hard work and always try your best.
