Marian University-Indianapolis Top Questions

My biggest advice would be to always surround yourself with people who have your best interest or similar interests. Don't surround yourself with negative people. Positive self-talk yields positive results. Always study, and don't let anyone make you think that it is uncool to be about your education !

The best advice I could give my high school senior self would be to remain open to new opportunities while staying focused on my goals. College is a great time to explore different events, countries, class topics, groups, and more. Staying focused on your major and studying is important, but once you graduate and begin your career there is less opportunity to explore or try new things. Try something new that is intriguing to you, even if it isn't something you see yourself doing long term. Study abroad if you get the opportunity. Take a class just because it sounds like fun! Experience is priceless. You never know when it can become helpful for a future position in your career, the begining of a new hobby or life-long activity, or the opportunity to make new friendships. Be courageous and step outside your comfort zone. The outcome just might help you make your dreams come true.

Learn to seperate partying and your studies. Be very organized, and be friends with poeple who are headed in the same direction you are. Also do not date the same girl you did sophmore year. Enjoy your time at college.

I would give myself the advice of not to be frustrated or stressed out when I dont know what I want my career to be when I first get out of high school.

I'm gonna tell you something that is gonna help you, and ease some stress you have. And don't say you don't have any. I know you do. One, don't worry about your walking boot., because you probably made more freinds with it than without. Your leg is broken and strained, not compeltely destoryed. You'll be walking and be running in no time. Transtiotiing is super easy and comfortable. Two, be yourself and don;t afraid to show it. There's no wrong anwer. Three, never doubt yourself and your leadership. There will be a lot of times you'll be over your head with assignments, research, freinds and leadership roles. Never doubt your actions, thoughts or feelings. They'll go farther than you think. Four, I know you'll stay busy with school and extracirrcular roles, but remeber to relax with freinds. Sunday is a long day, so enjoy your Saturday nights. Five, it will take you a long time to find your passion. It's complicated, so don't rush it. That's it. Super uper duper great.

From attending college, I’ve experienced knowledge and skills, and passion and characteristics that I wouldn’t of got from any place else. From attending and studying at college, I know what I want to do with my life; actually work on the administration side of college. I understand more about myself, and my deep and hidden passions in life. I would never known my passion for helping those younger than myself, and how far Franciscan values can go.

The best advice I could give myself would not to worry so much about trying to find out where my friends were going to college so I would have a roommate I already knew. I always wanted to pursue a Nursing career, especially after I completed a 12 week Internship Program in The Chidbirth Center. I have always loved babies and young kids. I could have listened to my parents more on this subject, they really do know what they are talking about. I have always been outgoing and very social, always looking at things as a new adventure. I guess I should have seen that more in myself being a Varsity Cheerleader and Vice President of Key Club, always taking the initiative to organize activities and trips. One other great piece of advice would be to always work as hard as you can in High School, it really does matter to colleges. It makes it easier trying to find scholarships as college is very expensive. So, the bottom line is to listen to your parents, always stay true and believe in yourself. Also, always work to your full potential, it really is worth it. College Rocks!!

If I could go back to being a senior at my high school, I would definitely advise myself to seek scholarships much earlier in the year. I would also recommend doing ALL of the practice questions at the end of the Chemistry, Math, and Anatomy chapters. I would have also tried to get as much extra credit as I could to bring up my GPA to be eligible for more scholarships.

I would of told my self to save up for college instead of taking out loans. Study hard so i could more scholarship wouldnt have to worry about paying all the loans back.

The advice I would give myself would be only worry about me and not others around you. Now that I have children of my own I try to instill this in them because too many times I see people try to do what their friends want or other things to impress and they're unhappy. You can never go back and say " I should of,would of, and could of." you need to reflect on the now and to remember to see what the effect may have in the future and make sure it's the right decision for you and not to make someone else happy. There's many times that I wish I can go back in time believe me, but since I made decision I made in the past it has made me a better and stronger person that I'm today. With the mistakes that I made at least I can say that I have learned from them and hopefully I can teach my children not to make the same mistakes I did. Nobody is perfect and I do believe that you learn something new everyday and I'm only human and still make mistake. Thanks!
