Wise Words from Alumni What do you wish you knew as a senior in high school? “You have to continue working towards what you want to do and not get caught in the drama of everyone else’s dreams. Just keep doing what you want to do. Everyone is going to sound like they have a great idea for what they want to do, but you’re only 18 years old. It takes people years to make a large difference in their field. You won’t be Albert Einstein from day one.”
Keshav Kailash Freshman at Washington University
What don’t we already know? “You have a lot more free time, a lot less homework, but more reading. You’re expected to do a lot of learning/studying on your own since you don’t usually have homework to practice concepts or lessons.” Spencer Smith Grad School at Kansas State University
Finals. Any advice? “Never wait until finals to start studying. I would study about 20 minutes a day a month in advance. You’ll hardly have to study during finals week if you start studying early.” Rebecca Raney Junior at the University of Kansas
