University of Indianapolis Top Questions

Save your money and stock up for the winter. The major road that runs by your school will be under construction and there will be days where you won't want to deal with it. Try your hardest in school and apply for A LOT of scholarships and grants. You will need all the financial help you can get, but it's worth it. The transition is easy. You'll make great, new friends so don't worry about the ones you're leaving. Your teachers will also be great. And always remember: be the bigger person. Be an adult.

if i was able to go back to high school and talk to my self as a senior i would tell myself to work harder for what i want. i would also say that you need to find a college to go to instead of saying everything will be fine and g to community college. i would have also have asked more questions to help prepare me for the work load that i would be taken on in college.

I would tell myself to look into getting assessed by an Autism specialist to make getting the paperwork for the special accomadations easier.

Dear Self, 1. College is a time to make mistakes! So go out and do it. Try new things even if they sound weird or unusual. Join clubs, intramurals, and organizations that have nothing to do with your major but seem interesting and fun. 2. A time wasted with wonderful people – isn’t really wasted time. Meet new people and spend countless hours talking about nature, life, hopes, movies or whatever you want. Some of the most memorial times you will have will be sitting in the lobby of the dorm or cafeteria meeting new people and laughing about new things! 3. Study hard and Play hard! Learn to review things daily so that you don't have to study so much when the test comes and you have more time to play in and out of the dorm room. 4. Don't take things to seriously. Be kind to yourself. It is okay to earn a C on a test or paper. It is okay kiss a boy you don't really see in your future. You don't have to worry or fuss over it. Be kind and enjoy this time in your life! Love, Your Future Self

Don't just settle for what your parents want. You have to make the decision of what you want to do, where you want to go, etc. It's your life, and your parents aren't living it for you. You have to want to do this. Also, apply everywhere, even if you know you don't want to go there. You may change your mind later on and transfer. It's easier if they have your application in from earlier.

If I were to meet my 18 year old self right now, I would probably freak out. After the initial shock i would sit her down and explain to her that if she doesnt look for more options, she is going to be very upset with her life when she is in her senior year of college. Make good choices and work hard, because you never know what could happen. I would also tell her to take a break after graudation and get your head together other wise you're going to be burnt out before you realize it. But most of all...all work and no play will make u go insane, so make sure that you have balance in your life. And remember you have to pay for all of this, so make it worth it!

I would tell myself, take that Spanish class because you will not have to take it again in the long run. Work hard because it will all be worth it in the end. Keep those eight hour study habits and keep taking your classes serious, and do not get caught up in the social aspect, it is not worth it. College will be so much different you will enjoy it so much more. Keep your head up and do not worry about friends right now, you will have plenty of change in the near future. Buckle down and grasp as much as you can now it will help, but do not limit your options and be open to new ideas and study skills, train yourself for the upcoming and start practicing now.

My college experience so far has taught me first how to live on my own and be responsible 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} solely for myself. I have had to learn to live with another human, unrelated to me, and sort through problems that occasionally arise. Attending college has also helped me to get closer to my goal of earning a pharmacy degree as well as play college softball. I have learned a whole new level of what it means to work hard which has taught me discipline as well. I have been put in unsheltered situations and had to reason through them to make the correct decisions which has also made me a stronger and overall better person.

My college experience has made me feel more at home then I had back in my home town. Everyone there is so friendly, and open, as well as willing to accept new people. Plus, the school is small and open which has been a good experience for me.

My college experience has allowed me to grown not only as an individual, but also as a student and a well developed leader and mentor for others. By attending my university, I have been able to volunteer in many admireable organizations such as; College Mentors for Kids where we mentor at risk youth showing them the benefits of higher education, and also Peer Exchange where we are mentors and friends for peers at our university with a disorder on the Austism Spectrum. I have also been blessed to now be a Resident Assistant for the 2010-2011 academic school year where I will be able to mentor young women as well as my peers at my university as well as help introduce and inforce my universities values and rules. My overall standing as a high achieving student has led to my academic success and to my ability to give back to my community and to the university that I attend. I believe that by attending a university that is committed to Service for Education, I have been able to appreciate the education I have been blessed with and share that education with others as well.
