Lourdes University Top Questions

Knowing what I know now about college life and the transition into college, the best advice I could give myself is to not procrastinate with assignments due, work hard for my grades and make sure that I do my best because college is so competitive now. I wish I would have know to try harder and get better grades because I did not really try before I came to Lourdes and did what I could to pass but I could have done a lot better if someone had pushed me to do better, or told me that I could do better. I would tell myself to not be a slacker and get good grades and to not procrastinate because there is not as much time as I thought there was. I would also tell myself to skip Kent State University and go to Lourdes, I probubly would be done with school by now.

If I were able to go back and give some insight to my high school senior self I would say don't wait. There is no reason for you to sit back and do nothing for almost two years before enrolling in college. Lourdes is a great college and you're going to love it. Do not waste anymore time because it effects your future. Also, I would recomend really looking into a specfic major. That way I would arrive with no worries and know exactly what I want.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell me a lot of things to prepare. The first thing I would tell myself is to fill out more scholarships. Paying for college is not an easy thing to do. Next I would tell myself to learn an easier quicker way to take notes. Notes are a big part of college and you can't miss a beat when it comes to note taking. Then I would tell myself to do homework as it comes. Don't let it build up to where it becomes a big problem and your up super late working on it. Finally I would tell myself to enjoy college it is not as scarry as it sounds. Getting involved in your college is a big part of the whole fun experience of college.

some advice i would give myself is to control my spending more. Spend more time on studying and less time with friends and partying. Keep up with the assignment and dont get behind, make sure they are on time. dont wait unill the last minute to study. Keep studying all the time. Get as much help as possible from anyone you can because there's lots of help out there

If I could go back in time to give some words of advice I would have to say take your time. Over the years I've wanted to be many different careers. Anywhere from a vet, because my love for animals or a lawyer, for my passion for justice. I've found my calling and that is to be a nurse. I love helping and giving back to the community. I know I could make a difference, taking care of somebody's sombody just as I would my own. One last thing I would say is to brace yourself, it will be a long trying road but it will pay off in every way. Thank you.

I would tell myself to listen to my feelings, if the college or university does not feel right then do not settle. When you look at schools do not look at the price, look at the environment, the class size, the wow factor. When you do get to the right school, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! There is no easier way to understand a subject that to simply do the assigned homework, whether it is reading or writing assignment. The easiest way to make connections and friends is to go to the coffee houses, the intimate concerts, and the many other miscellaneous events. In other word, get involved on campus and have fun! When you are having troubles with a subject go to one of the many tutors. Most importantly do not stress out, everything will work out for the best.

It is fun and you dont have to have classes every day, you get to meet a lot of new people, but you need to keep good grades and attend class to the best your ability.

I would strongly encourage myself to listen to my heart and not take advice from people who do not have knowledge about the topic I am asking them about. My plan was to start college and go straight through and finish a master's degree in nursing. My friends and family encouraged me to get a job after 2 years and then work while finishing school. I found it very hard to find time to work full-time, have a social life, and go to school full-time all at once. I did not finish. Now I am 35 years old and currently in process of finishing what I started 17 years ago. My advice to myself: stay the course, finish school. Thank you for the opportunity!

Thh advice that I would give myself would be to focus more in high school. This focus will help me to get to where I need to be in college. If I focus, I will be able to excel in my academics. I also would be a more open person. If I am open to new things and new life experiences, I will be able to fit in with everyone in college. No one judges and everyone is much more open about diversity. If I practice these skills in high school, I will be sure to succeed in more ways than one throughout my college years.

As a non-traditional student I would have told myself to go back to school much sooner. I waited three years to go back. I thought this was the best choice. I would have waited longer to get married and start a family. Being a mother and a wife proved very difficult in that my time was so divided. I never felt that I was adequate at any given task because I was so divided as to where I should be or what deserved more of my attention. Waiting would have been a better option however that would mean not have the children I have.
