California State University-Stanislaus Top Questions

I would tell my self to take college serious. First, I would tell my self to figure out what it is I want to do with my life that way I could decide on a major. If I'm still undecided by the end of my senior year I would encourage my self to take some time off (maybe a year) before enrolling in college. This would give me time to clear my mind and provide me with a break from school. During this time I would acquire a job, read a lot, socialize, meet new people, do some traveling, and pick up on a musical instrument. This would allow me to figure out what I want to major in, get to know myself better by knowing other people, and experience life before going to college. I believe this time off from school would allow me begin college life with more emthusiasm and positive outlook, and most importantly with a fresh mind. Moreover, I would also advise my self to learn how to budget my money because college life is not the most glamorous and to make sure I have a stable palce to live in while in school.

If I could go back in time and give my high school self advice I would start with telling myself that my goals are attainable and not to give up.

When life situations take control you are given an opportunity to rise above your own expectations. This also means that you must not settle for what is mearly tolerable, but you must continue in your progress until you have attained what you set out to do. Life can be hard sometimes and it can make staying on track difficult, but when the unexpected happens and things do not work out the way you had wanted, it simply means that you have to find a way work around the problem and continue on your path.
