Denied!

Guess who got accepted to BYU?

Not me, haha!

Which upset me a little, because I did really well on my ACTs and I have a good GPA, and I can't even know why I wasn't accepted. Oh well, I guess.

But I'm ok with it, because I'm going to Metro which means I'll be more likely to see people I know from highschool since pretty much eveyone is going to Metro, and I want to major in chemisty or criminology, and I hear really good things about Metro's programs for both of those. Plus, now I don't have to deal with the whole "Metro or BYU" thing, so I think this worked out well enough.

Any words of wisdom for the new college student? :)

Yeah, here's some wisdom. Only fools join fraternities or sororities.

Here's one: All nighters are never as productive as you think they'll be.

no worries. I didn't get into BYU either.

Words of advice: get a credit card and only use it to put gas in the car. Pay it off every month completely. That way you build up good credit without getting into debt.

Also- declare a major if you want, but get all your gen eds done before you do your major classes :)

oh and what shinobi said is totally true. I took a psych class once and my teacher said that a person needs to sleep in order to convert short termmemory into long term memory. all nighters totally don't allow you to do that, so make sure you get plenty of sleep during finals week. Also, I once had a professor tell me that if I've gone to class everyday and done my reading, at the end of the class I should know pretty much everything I need to know for the finals. when you study for finals read through the material a bit but then get a good nights sleep and wake up in time to have a good breakfast. Don't stress out. you'll do fine. That is all :)

And what they said about all nighters is correct...

I'll go to bed as soon as dinner stops rebelling.
