Bellevue University Top Questions

Take nothing for granted. Know that college is not an easy transition and if you are not hungry to go out and get your degree and take on the world, be fair to yourself and take some time away from school until you are ready to do so; you can save yourself a lot of money by doing that. I honestly thought that when I left school at 19 that I would not need a degree. Turns out, the degree is what gets you in the door at almost all places. It is worth the journey, trust me. At 34 I wish I had half the same motivation that I did when I was 17 and graduating high school, because I think back and wonder how many more great things I could be doing now had I focused and got my degree sooner. Also know that it's ok to ask for help. If you do not ask for help, nobody knows you are having a problem.

In all honesty I would tell myself to stop trying to work full-time and go to high-school simultaneously. I would tell myself to obtain my G.E.D and get into college right away. Stop stressing about the things like, what people think of high school drop outs. College matters more then anything and working this hard is causing you to miss some valuable years.

Wow, this is a queation that most adults who are presently in school ask themselves on a daily basis. To tell the truth I would love to go back to my highschool days and just kick me in the butt! But, if I had to have a discussion with myself about the importance of a college education, I may says things along these line. Ok, Teresa you may think that getting a college education is not all it cracks up to be and is certainly not cool, but, where do you plan on being about 30 years from now? Do you want a nice house and family? How about being able to go to the store and not worry about how you are going to pay for things. STOP messing around, get your head togehter and think about the future. Make a list of all of the things that you want out of life and then make another list of how you are going to achieve them. I will bet you, one spa treatment, that a college education will help you achieve all of your wants on your list.

As a high school senior, you should enjoy every minute of every day. Once you graduate, your life as an adult will begin and you will be required to hit the ground running. To be successful in life, you have to apply yourself.....do not heistate to make decisions just because you are afraid of failing. You have to take the first step to make that choice and you will never know what could happen if you just try. You are your own worst enemy and your own best advocate. The meaning of success is different for everyone, and you have to decide what makes you proud of yourself as a person. Have fun....life is too short to be unhappy.

Stay focused and motivated! It's a much easier road if you apply yourself now.

I would tell myself to go straight to college and not postpone my learning. Realize that attending college can be a very scary idea but the work in the end will ultimately pay the way toward my future success. Every experience that I have had so far allows me to see things from a different perspective and that with every experience something possitive can come out of it. Keep learning, pushing yourself to excel in all that I do always give a 200{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} percent effort in what you do because ultimately only you are in charge of your future the decision is yours to either quit or keep going towards reaching your goals

Continue to go to college; all of the other stuff can wait. Get your education now and don't wait to go back later. Everything will fall into place quicker if you finish your eduction.

Some advice I would give myself would be to not wait till the last minute to decide what college to attend, and to fill out applications to as many schools that I feel best fit me and not just apply to one or two schools. Also, I would have wanted to take going to college more seriously, not saying Bellevue is a bad place for school, but after graduating from Bellevue I will have to go to another school to get the actual major/degree that I want that will help me get my profession going.

I would tell myself that I should study Social Work instead of Theater and that I would understand in few years why Social work. I would also tell myself that keeping the same study habits is good (cause I was really worried that they wouldn't be good once I hit college). Make plans to spend time with friends. Get active in other things besides Choir. I would also tell myself to save all the money that I can. I would also tell myself to double check DMACC because they told me i had a year left when I only had one semester so I spent way more time there then i needed. School before work always. I would tell myself that with school and work to find two or three things that i need to do every other week or every day if possiable. Lastly look up LUSH and BAISON the bath booms will help you relax after along day studying, working, or going to school. Talk to teachers they love to know there students.

This is how I would go about and give my advice to my self about college life and making the transition. I would take college course for general ed. college classes toward my degree. I would be more serious on making high grades and making good use of my resources that would help me financial, like scholarships, Pell grants and FASA. Have a long range plan for my education and Degree by meeting with college counselors and advisors. Also I would save my paychecks from my job and use that toward my college education because college books and materials are very expensive so I would like to be prepared for any financial expensives so that I would not be a barden to my family to pay for my education. Now that Iam older I realize how important my education is and not to take that for granted and really concentrate on attending college and receive my Bachelors than move on to my masters.This is how I would go about college life and make that transition in my life. Do it the right way of planning college first, and make apointments with college counselors and to have a college plan.
