My College Experience

‣ I graduated from a top public high school.

‣ I wanted to attend a BIG TEN school.

‣ I wanted to be close to my high school girlfriend.

‣ I didn’t want to know people.


My Miserable Year

X Roommate was not my friend


X Didn’t get into a fraternity

My Miserable YearNaked RoommateTransition Webinar

X My girlfriend… shot the LDR puppy


I was depressed, anxious, and felt like a failure…


Why I Transferred

• My friends from high school went to IU. • My brothers went to IU. • There was a fraternity that HAD to accept me.


What I Learned

It took me a good year to get comfortablewith the uncomfortable…

NO ONE TOLD ME… College is uncomfortable at times. The websites NEVER tell students the whole truth.

I found my places.

I found my people.

I learned how tobe patient.

College Planning is Missing…

College planning is ALL about search & selection



BUT THERE IS ANOTHER PART…



NAVIGATING TRANSITION IS A LIFE SKILL…

• Birth

• First day

• Last day

• Love

• Loss

• Change


Transition can be uncomfortable…

Life is 90 percent amazing and 10 percent BS. The trick is to never the 10 percent take up 100

percent of your time. How do you do this?


Transition is everything that happens after you commit…

TRANSITION FRAMEWORKCollege success begins with transition:

Why students struggle:TRANSITION FRAMEWORK

Have students rank the 5 areas of transition1=Most Important, 5=Least Important

TRANSITION FRAMEWORKHOW TO USE IT:

Imagine you live in a world of YES!!!


What do you want to happen?

How can you use your past transitions and experiences in high school to help you create the life you desire in college?

How can you find real information, real answers, and a plan for what happens next?

People: Who are the people who can help, support, and guide you?

Places: Where are the three place you can find connection, community, and support?

Patience: How long will it take to navigatechange and get comfortable with the uncomfortable?


PEOPLE: For every problem there are at least FIVE people who can offer support and guidance.

People in your corner:

1. People who volunteer2. People you pay3. People you enlist


PLACES: You need at least THREE places on campus where you can find connection, community, and support. Each place gives students access to new people and experiences. Having three places means always having options. Without places a student panics, hates, or hides in his or her comfort zone.

Clubs, Activities, and Organizations

• Academic • Social • Spiritual


PATIENCE: Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable means setting realistic expectations and using you people and places to help youface new challenges as you navigateall the changes.


✴ Panic ✴ Blame ✴ Hate ✴ Hide ✴ Run ✴ Give up

IMPATIENT PEOPLE…

TRANSITIONand the first year experience…

1. Introduce college planning as a three part process to students and their parents. 1) SEARCH 2) SELECTION 3) TRANSITION.

2. Use past transitions to guide future transitions.

3. Help students identify the areas of transitionthat matter most to them.

4. Identify people and places on campus wherestudents can find connection and community.

5. Reach out to the people living the life you want to live.

6. Identity and plan how you will put yourself in the right placesand find the right people before ever setting foot on campus.

7. Set realistic expectations. It takes a good year to get comfortablewith the uncomfortable.

THE FOCUS SHIFTS✴College is NO LONGER about being wanted…

It’s about…

WHAT YOU WANT

THE IMPACT IS DRAMATIC:

✴Students with THREE PLACES on campus are engaged, empowered, and able to make stronger choices in alignment with their values.

✴Students with FIVE PEOPLE in their corner are supported and prepared to face unexpected challenges. They are equippedto be leaders in their communities.

✴Students who are PATIENT do not panic, run, hate, hide, attack, or make excuses. They give themselves permissionto get comfortable with the uncomfortable and work at a moreforgiving pace.

Students and parents who prepare, plan, and understand transition are set up for success…
