Concordia University-Wisconsin Top Questions

The thing that I would stress to my high school self the most would be the importance of time management. Procrastonation is really the only thing that I regret about college and if I was able to go back in time and do one thing over I would try to focus more on assignments at an appropriate time. Even though I did get good grades through college I woul dbeen able to have more freedom and been able to experience more if I organized my time more effectivly and made a plan of when I would finish my work. Fortunatly my future wife helped me with that later in college, but your freshman GPA still has an effect on your overall graduating GPA.

If I could go back in time I would tell my self to finish high school no matter how hard it is. Getting your GED is not all that is cracked up to be. Your diploma carries you a lot further in life. The transition into college is a lot harder as an adult. You feel diffrently about going to school with people who are just getting out of high school. Plus how much do you remember from high school. There are entrance test that you have to take, and if you do not pass them then there are classes you have to take just to get in to the college classes that you want to take to get your degree. The transition from high school to college can be very stress full especially if your moving away from home. Doing it as an adult while working so you can support a family is even harder. So my advice to myself would be stay in school and go to college before you have a family.

Get started early! Do your research, apply for scholarships, ask for recommendations. Go the extra mile to make sure the school you are thinking about attending really is the one for you. You can never be too prepared for something this important. The transition between high school and college is a scary but exciting one and you want to be as ready as you can. After you are accepted and choose which school you want to attend, start making friends right away. Use social media to meet people in your new class and start looking for a roommate. Whatever happens happens, but if you are ready for anything do not worry about everything.

If I were to go back in time and talk to my senior self I would tell her not to worry. College while challenging is a great experience and is not as scary as you are imagining it. Concordia’s facility is friendly and care about you. They are always willing to help and want you to succeed. Living on campus is a great decision. You are going to meet many wonderful people and enjoy every minute of it. Do not be afraid to make that decision because you are moving away from home. It is part of growing up and is not as bad as you think. Your classes will be hard and the teachers will expect more from you, however Concordia provides many different opportunities to find help. They provide tutors and the teachers offer office hours where they are available to help you. They also provide you with their contact information and encourage you to contact them whenever you need help. Do not be afraid, you have made the right decision and going to build long lasting relationships with your fellow students as well as teachers.

I would say, obtaining a degree is vital to your future. Don't waste your time and neglect your education as it would be to your advantage and the well being of your family in the future. An education can take you to great places and open doors of opportunity to you. The frienships you make will be ones that last a lifetime and the experiences you have will assist in your maturity and growth.

I would tell myself that I should have ignored the bullies more and focused more on my grades and that there is a light at the end of the four year tunnel. I would also told myself that I should belive more in me and have more confidance in the things I do.

Okay Demetrius, this is your last year of high school, lets not slack this year and get involved in extracurricular activities so you can make a good impression on the colleges, and plus it looks good on your college application, you know what they say, the more the better! You should also try and take some AP classes so you don't have to take some of the courses when you get to college and plus you can also get a head start if you do well on the AP test. Lets also try and make sure we know how to take good notes now so we can prepare for tests and quizzes and get the most out of the lessons so were nice and organized. When you go to bed make sure that you get a good nights rest so you can get up nice and early and have time to prepare for class. It would also be nice to organize the night before so that you know that your not missing anything that you need for class the next day. I hope these tips help you in your college endeavors.

As a high school senior, i want to say that life will get fun after you enter the college. Not in the sense that you are gonna be fooling around and do nothing: of coarse there is gonna be a lot of homework, but all of it will pay you back, as you are gonna have more hours for the homework than how much you have being in school. Plus you will get to choose which classes you want to take this year, and guess what? - you get to choose at what time to have your classes!! In addition college is the place where you will be able to meet people from a lot of different places: people from different states as well as different countries. World opens up a lot bigger to you when you start going to college, as you realize that there are much bigger things than just Algebra II. College is the place where you enter the real world and they teach you there how to solve real world problems - not how much apples are left after you ate one. But, they will teach you how to do brain sergery and how to deal with bancruptcy.

I would advise myself to be prepared to study. Prepare to read the text book from cover to cover. I would also advise to make a schedule. The schedule should include time for study, work out, work, friends, and relaxation. Having a schedule can help maintain focus and not become lazy. Next, I would advise to not eat so much. Having the freedom from parental cooking can lead to an excess of eating. This eating does nothing but add on the pounds. It is also easier to eat unhealthy. Make sure to remember to eat the daily servings of the fruits and vegtables. Lastly, I would advise to always have fun. The college years are not only for studying, but also for making the best memories a person could have. Study just as much as you have fun.

I would definitely go back and tell myself to work a million times harder than I did. I regret a lot of the things I did within my first year of high school as I was still making up for it when I was a junior. I was able to pull my GPA up inch by inch every year, but I realize now that I could have done so much better. I would also advise myself that I needed to get a job. At 18, I still have never had a job and really wish that I would have taken advantage of the opportunity sooner. Lastly, I would tell myself that I probably should have planned better for college. This year, I had to go to Concordia University when I didn't want to. This school year, I am transferring to Arizona State University. During high school, I wish that I would have saved money for this as it's expensive for out of state students. Five years ago, I wouldn't have believed it if I saw where I am now. Sure it's not terrible, but I wish I would have done the work to do better.
