Barton College Top Questions

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to stay pretty much the same when it comes to college life. I was an early college student so I was already in college classes at the age of 14. I would tell myself not to stress so much and too relax a little more. I would tell myself not to put limitations on anything—life, love, school, work or anything else. I would make sure I knew that I can do anything and that college at a four year school is almost the same as it was in high school. Just that the work is more strenuous. I would tell myself to continue to have my head on straight and not to stray from what I wanted. Although I love the college I go to, I would probably tell myself to apply to more schools. Maybe even an out of state school. I would make sure I knew that life goes on no matter what life throws at you. I would tell myself everything will be ok.

Organization is the key to it all. If it was not for my planner, I have no idea what I would do. I would also tell myself to be more out-going and step out of my comfort zone.

The last thing I would tell myself would be that time-mangement is very important. I had to learn that the hard way.

This will save me from messing up my credit with poor spending habits. study hard to maintain better grades. This will avail many scholarship opportunities and improve changes of going to the best universities.

I would tell myself in High School, to make it count. What you do in High School does matter and you can receive many things for being successful in High School. Join clubs, play sports, volunteer, etc. All of that experience can help your way through college and make your experience to the next level an even greater one.

Go all out in High school, because you will not regret it.

I have learned a lot from her alone and hope to meet more inspiring people along this wonderful journey. I would be so greatful if you would consider me for this opportunity.

The friends you make in college will be the ones that you will keep in touch with throughout life.

Pick a school that you know will give you the best advantage for succeeding later in life, whether it be a large or small environment. Remember to stay organized. Organization and time management skills are important keys to excelling in challenging courses. College classes are unlike high school classes.

Have fun and participate in campus activities. Getting involved in your school is the best way to make friends and learn more about adjusting to college life. Lastly, don't worry. Everything is gonna be just fine so enjoy the ride!
