Baylor University Top Questions

My senior year was feeled with stressed and felt like a had a ton of bricks on my weak, fragile shoulders, but more will becoming weighing down making hunch over with pain. Just deal with it, do not freak out or transfer that anger to others. Also, pick your friends wisely. There are the friends that care about school and build each other up, forget the ones that choose partying as their first priority. Have fun, but do not sacrifice grades to do it. My last piece of advice is to be more outgoing. Your personality is similar to a hermit crab, you hide until you feel safe enough to be open with the others around you. Just make more of an effort to make friends. If you can get over those three issues, I think your colleges experiences will be very memorable and enjoyable.

Dorm life requires adjusting. You cannot make everything go the way you want it to. People will yell in the halls, and they will wake you up. You just have to learn to go with the flow. As far as classes go, pay attention and take notes. You will be fine if you do that. Join groups that interest you, that is the best way to make friends. Do not be afraid to introduce yourself to new people; they might be your new friends later on when can't stand being in your room anymore. Work as much as possible; you will need the money, but make sure you are happy with your job. Having a job you hate is not worth minimum wage. Just do things before the morning they are due and pay attention in class, and you will be fine.

Although I can't use a time-turner to send myself backwards and warn myself what to do, I can do this: I battled hard to increase my rank from number three to two during my senior year. It caused me stress and a poor immune system. Therefore, my first advice is colleges do not care if your rank is one off unless I'm going for number one. Scholarship money won't change. Don't stress myself out. Furthermore, I would have told myself to take AP Physics to be ready for college physics and two political science community college classes to get out of Political Science at Baylor. I would have told myself to be ready to do two hours of language homework and spend more time on that class although I am a Biology major. Another piece of advice is to take the first biology class that I earned from AP credit so I won't waste money in summer school taking Human Physiology for a study abroad that I could have taken during spring semester. In the end, I say cherish your home-cooked food and family because they will be the things I miss most.

I wish I would have had a better idea of how to study for tests. I didnt learn that so much in Highschool because I didnt need to study. I would also say I need to be more flexible and roll with the punches better instead of trying to force things so much. ALso I would have taken more advantage of opportunities in order to broaden my horizons and also learn things outside of my comfort zone.

Make sure to give your studies and all your endevours 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} effort.

After stepping out of my time machine, I would say, "Hi, Chris. Despite the strikingly similar, um, more like, exact, appearance I have to you, although I actually am you from the future, do not be frightened. Just pretend this is a dream and heed my genius advice on college. Now, although many people tell you to have fun, I'm going to repeat it. Have fun. As I remember, many of our friends already in college told us that having fun is what college is all about. Well, I've experienced it, and I can give that claim a fifty percent accuracy rating. Unfortuantely, the other fifty percent is, as you know, girls. (After a long pause and receiving a smile) Got you! The other half is work. Yes, I knew you would frown to that, but you want to be successful in life right? Working hard will get you there. You also want to join in lots of clubs to put on your resume which is more important than you think. Go to bed before two. Do not wake up your roommates in the middle of the night. Have fun. Do work, but really just have fun.

I would tell myself to keep working hard because the hard work does pay off in the end.

Do not be fooled by the watered down versions of college life that television and fiction books suggests. Moreover, college is not a place of pure bliss but it is a place of growth. Good time management and determination will be importaint to your success as a college student. You are going to find that every tests is not a victory but do not let this discourage you. You will also find that many organizations are not a perfect fit but continue to pursue all the opportunites open to you. You will spend many days alone but remember that God is an ever present help. Furthermore, do not wish away your time spent as a senior in highschool because graduation will be here soon enough. Enjoy today and prepare yourself for a new day in time.

I would tell myself to work harder during my senior year and pay more attention in class because it will come in handy during college. Read more to become well-rounded. Rent your textbooks to save money. Don't be shy, open up and be yourself. You will make friends!

Dear Amy, I am very proud of all of your high school accomplishments and achievements. You are now about to embark on a new journey that will change you and your life forever. I would like to give you one important piece of advice on what I have learned about this new change in your life. You tend to busy yourself too much with extra-curricular activities and therefore stress yourself out to much. If I were to redo my first year of college, I would prioritize my year with studies first, giving to the community second and then sports last. When you stress stay too busy, you cannot achieve as well as you would like in anything. You went to college to receive a good education first and experience your various choices of majors and careers. Use the resources that your university provides to grow yourself and do well in your classes. Talk and seek advice of your professors and counselors. They are there to help you succeed. People want to help you with your choices and want you to have a great college experience. You go girl!
