What was the most challenging aspect of your commute?

"My commute is pretty simple: just a bus/walk and then the train, but I guess switching between the two train is probably the most challenging part, since I can not simply stay on one train for the whole time, and instead I have to stay attentive to when I am switching modes of transportation.

"The crazy people on the train, that's why I got noise cancelling headphones, best purchase ever." (Student of Class of 2028)

​

"For me it would be budgeting time to catch an earlier train after school." (Student of Class of 2028)

​

"The most difficult thing is the inconsistency of the MTA at times." (Student of Class of 2026)

​

"The trains. I am never for sure if it will be a 10 minute wait for the 4 and 5 trains, or if it will be there when I get there. When actually on the train, I am never sure if there will be enough space or if there will be a delay." (Student of Class of 2026)

What sports or extracurriculars are you involved in, and how much time do you allocate on them per week? How have you adapted you daily schedule to your extracurriculars?

I do track/cross country which takes about 7 hours a week. I have definitely had to adapt my daily schedule because I get home a lot later because of it which forces me to manage my time after school. I also do Zotung which takes about 2 hours a week. On nights when I’m teaching I have to make sure I get my work done early so I can get a decent amount of sleep." (Student of Class of 2027)

"I am on the Regis Tennis Team, which is only in Spring. Per week I spend around 10 hours a week. I usually get home around 5:30-6:00pm if we have practice or 7:00-8:00pm on game days." (Student of Class of 2028)

​

"I did cross country, indoor track, and I am doing outdoor track now. The practices are every day after school and I usually get home around 5:40. It takes up time and energy but is worth it for the balance of athletic and academics." (Student of Class of 2028)

​

"I'm on the baseball team and play baseball outside of school and allocate about 15 hours a week or more just strictly practicing, plus additional time for games if they take place. I have had to adapt my daily schedule because of my extracurriculars, often leading to less sleep." (Student of Class of 2027)

What is something you wish you knew before coming to Regis?

"Something that I wish I knew before coming to Regis was how to manage my time better. In middle school I never really had that much work, so I didn't have to manage a bunch of different things. Knowing this would have helped me so that I could have known how to get my work done more efficiently." (Student of Class of 2028)

​

"I wish I knew how rough hell weeks truly are. Hell weeks are extremely difficult and require an immense amount of work and effort." (Student Class of 2028)

​

"Studying is not the amount of hours but the method of doing it." (Student of Class of 2028)

​

"In freshman year I wish I knew that I was always capable of doing better. As a freshman I would get M’s and be like “well it’s ok Regis is hard, an M is pretty good anyway” and once I got my first tri grades I didn’t really put in any effort to make them better by the end of the year. Either I didn’t think it was possible or I didn’t think I was capable of it, both of which are false." (Student of Class of 2027)

​

"Take things seriously, but also, mentally, do not perceive assignments as impossible or too hard—even if it feels hard. I feel like that would help. Also create good habits for yourself, start your homework when you get home, study for tests multiple nights before, etc. all those small habits will compile." (Student of Class of 2026)
