Spring Hill College Top Questions

I would tell my high school self to spend time with the family and not to be in such a hurry to leave. My college is nine hours away from my home, and this distance greatly appealed to me when I chose to come here. I wanted to prove to my family that I could be a responsible adult and live successfully without any of them. While I have shown that I am a responsible adult through good grades and financial budgeting, I miss my family much more than I ever thought I would and seriously regret not spending more time with my younger siblings over the summer. I was more caught up in packing and saying goodbye to friends than hanging out with my younger brother and sister. I would also advise my younger self to be kinder to my parents. Although I highly doubt that my high school self would listen to me, because I tend to be stubborn, this is the advice I would give because I have now learned from my own immaturity.

Go to the school I want to go to, not my family or friends. Just because your a State University legacy, doesn't mean you have to go there. Branching out is not a bad thing. Making friends is not difficult, but staying only a few hour drive away is smart.

In order to arrive, one must first have a destination. Do not pass on an opportunity to achieve a higher education. A higher education provides one with more choices. Live life and learn.

The most important that I would go back in time to tell myself about choosing the college to attend would to do my own research not to depend upon others. My experience and choice of going back to college has been extremely worth it. Being raised by an older adopted parent who pretty much sheltered me from the things in life thinking it was for my benefit has taught me. Going back to my senior life in high school concerning college with older parent I would need to physically show the proof of what the things that would help my parents to accept me going to Spring Hill. By knowing that this school is family oriented and that the Professor are truly concerned about the students would really mean alot. Even being sheltered would make it more comfortable her to accept Spring Hill. I know that my adopted mother wanted the best for me, and she would really be proud of me now to see me succeeding in college. Overall Again I thank the Lord i was able to have an opportunity to experience the Spring Hill Life.

I would tell myself to not wait untill the last minuet to study, budget my money, and set aside a time to socialize and a time to study. I would remind myself not to worry about what other people think of me and to stay focused and remember why i have decided to go to college.

Make sure you can balance your life out more. Make sure that you apply for every possible scholarship possible. Study hard because it is easy not to study...

I would tell myself to be prepared for a more intense curriculum than in high school. I would tell myself not to be afraid of the change and embrace it and make the most out of it. I would tell myself never to give up and always remember that I have a great support system in my family, so if anything comes up I have my family to talk to. The most important thing is to keep god first and never get caught up in everything that I'm doing and forget that.

Emily, First off, don't be worried that you don't know what you want to do. You are young, and you'll grow and development more in your first year of college than you did all four years in highschool. Stick with taking core classes first instead of choosing an unsure major. You'll save more money and time that way. Don't feel rushed. You want to do so much, but when you realize what you want to do you'll feel at ease and know the right choice has been made. Secondly, even though you play volleyball, don't let it seclude you. You won't regret it. At times you'll feel low, but the experience will change you into a better person and you'll be an overcomer. Remain to be your friendly self, meet new people, and be there for others as they will be for you. Finally, enjoy every moment and give all you have in every element of your life. Life is too short and these years will fly by.

Hey You. go buy some sandles and sun glasses. leave most of your crap at home and bring the more essential living items. have microwave, minifridge and toaster oven, mini coffee maker. they'll come in handy when you have to midnight food cravings or have to stay up all night for school and need caffine to stay awake. Use the week nights for school not additional days to party. set up a workable desk area in your room. you cant go to the library for every assingment. accept it that the best political discussions involve you talking to a brick wall rather than most of the people you live with. WEAR Shower shoes. dont wait til you run out of underwear to do your laundry. walk around at night, its an awesome campus. take advantage of the resources in the library. they'll make your academic life a whole lot easier and less stressful. understand that the administration and athletic department don't have the same enthusiasm for starting a rugby club as you do. be ready to fill out loads of paper work if you want the rugby club to get any money from the student activities fund.
