California State University-Fullerton Top Questions

It's okay to be alone, and have time to yourself to figure things out! It's okay to take some time to yourself to calm down and de-stress. GO TO THE GYM, because it makes you less stressed. be outgoing and smile! try new things and meet new people. be safe when you go out, trust people, but not too much. and as much as it may suck to work all the time, deal with it, you need the money!! and dont feel annoying because you always want to skype mom...she needs it too :)

I would tell myself to experience everything I possibly can. This is a time to learn, experiment, and embrase others around you. I feel I came into college not as open as I could have been to meeting people and trying new things.

College is a definate eye opener towards what real life is. It is not like high school, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to meet the expectations. Despite the difficulties of college life you will find self discovery; like who you are really and what are the fields you are interested in learning more about. Make the most out this experience get involved and I'm sure you will not only enjoy college, but you will be getting an education while doing it.

Hello, self. There's a lot of things you're going to do, and some you might regret down the road but you won't regret going to college. Remember that financial aid stuff you didn't think you'd need to do in the beginning? Do it. Make sure you get your financial aid and take out your loans when you need to. Going to work is important, but just remember that your education needs to come first. Save your loan money, and take time off work so you can actually enjoy school. Be sure to interract with people. Don't wait four years to make friends. Make them as soon as you can. Enjoy it while you can, so you're not pressed for time and pushing your way through it. It all goes by so fast. Make sure you talk to your advisers BEFORE you're a senior. They actually do want to help you. Oh, and if Danny Vo ever tries to ask you out, do not go out with him. That'll save you a semester's worth of drama right there. Also, keep those Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards. They'll come in handy someday.

If I would be able to back in time and talk to myself back in High School. I will definitely tell to myself that college is not so difficult after all because I remember that in my senior year I was really worry about how I was going to do in College. Also, I will say to myself to study days before a test and do all my homework on time. The experience in College is completely different because I get to plan my own schedule, so I will tell to myself to go to a consoler before starting every semester so I can pick the classes that I need, and I do not lose my time. Also, making sure about your major before starting College is very important. I have seen a lot of my friends struggling because they do not know what to study. Making long term plans will be definitely a keep factor to be successful in College. Also, I will tell to myself to be very careful about asking friends for advice because sometimes they do not know what they are talking about. The best choice is to talk to a professional.

If i had to give myself advice as a graduating high school senior, it would be to stay focused and never give up. Education is key. Stay determined and strive for your goal.

If I could go back in time and give myself additional advice of what I know now, I wouldn't. I believe the idea of experiences becomes our knowlegde is quite impacting. I rather learn through my mistakes therefore gaining my own very unique experience, than having advice and guidance that will avoid my mistakes. I believe that my experiences and mistakes becomes my greatest knowledge and strength. If I were to have any advice or help from myself today, I wouldn't be as strong as myself today. Due to the fact, that I had no advice or help from myself , I believe that I went through every mistakes on my own and learning and establishing knowledge that no one but myself has encounter.

My advice to a high school senior is to work hard and take advantage of the opportunities given to you. If you need help paying for classes or school supplies you should look in to financial aid and scholarships. When you start your semester you should make an appointment with a counselor and see which classes are required for your major. Once you start your classes turn in all of the work required and make time to study. Take advantage of the time you have available and try taking 12 units every semester. You can also take summer and winter session classes to finish earlier. Keep in mind all of the deadlines for additional tests and documents needed for your school. Most importantly try your best and make friends in class. Having atleast two phone numbers from students in your class is highly recommended.

Hello Lucy, one thing you need to know for sure is that the administration of your time and money are very imortant in college. You have to make sure and have enough time for studying and homework, which will help you be very succesful in your classes. Get books soon and not that expensive because if you sell them bakc, the school will give you about 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} back of what you originally paid. Make sure to get most of the classes that go towards your major, so you can mix your harder uper division classes with GE classes. If you want to advance faster by taking more classes in one semester, register for the maximum amout of classes, which is about 5, then wait until the limit of units goes up so you can register for one more. Of course you need to make sure you can handle the workload. Keep your goal in mind, and that the reward is grand! May God help you through this journey.

I would tell myself to not be afraid to ask questions. When I started college, I though everyone expected me to grow up and do things on my own. When I was lost and confused on what classes to take and what direction to go with my studies, I tried to figure it out myself because I was too embarassed to ask for help. This made me lose a lot of time for going off track. I soon realized that everyone in college is lost and needs help. I finally set up appointments with my counselors and professors and they held my hand through every process without getting irritated or impatient with me. I wish I would have done that sooner so that I could have graduated earlier!
