Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach Top Questions

If I can go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior knowing what I now know about college life, I would tell myself to just be myself. If you choose the correct college and you are truly studying what you love to do, then your peers will have all the same things in common with you. You will meet friends for life and you schouldn't worry about making freinds or fitting in.

Dear Me, Your first semester is gonna be rough. Since you decide to go to college 1000 miles away from anyone you know, you're gonna feel like you don't have any friends. You're gonna want to go home, you're gonna wanna quit. You're gonna feel depressed and bored on Saturday and Friday nights when youre not doing anything. Going fromm being a popular guy, with alot of friends to just another member of the crowd is gonna be hard on you.

College is an amazing experience because it can be challenging, fun, crazy and demanding all at the same time. You may think that you have no time now as a high school student, but when you get to college you realize how much time you really had. Enjoy every minute of your time throughout school because you only have those experiences once. You may have a best friend in high school now, but that changes. You'll meet amazing new individuals who actually have goals similar to yours in the future and that gives you an instant connection. The most important thing to remember is to be yourself! No one cares what you wear or who your friends are in college. There will always be a place for you to fit in and those people will love you for who you really are. Stay committed and dedicated to yourself and aspire to be the best that you can be. Try everything you can (safe things, of course) because you shouldn't let anything hold you back from a new experience. College in the end is what you make of it, so study hard and most of all... enjoy it!

I felt that I did very well preparing myself for the college life style. I enjoy being in college more than I did being in High School. I've always done a good job challenging myself in order to succeed in college. Although, if I could go back in time, I would tell myself to expect the unexpected. When a student in High School thinks of college they imagine being on there own and not having their parents around telling them what to do, which to a teenager, sounds like a good idea. High School students are "babied" throughout their whole education. In my current position, I'm being trained to fly airplanes. This training can be very exhausting and stressful. On top of your average and basic college classes, I take extra classes and hours out of my day to fly. I enjoy flying tremendously and I realize that not everyone gets this opportunity, but I also realize that this is what I've worked for. If I could go back in time and tell my High School self anything, it would be that in order to get what you want, you have to work harder than anyone else.

If i could go back to seinor year, I would have took a calculus class in high school. I would have still took calculus 1, because I would have understood calculus more. I could have spent more time studing for my harder classes, such as coding. I took AP Physics, and physics 1 was my easiest class. I fcollege classes are taken in high school, it helps a bunch during college.

When I went to college I already had more or less of an idea about how college life was going to be like because I went to the North Carolina School of Science and Math which is a residential high school where you live there for your junior and senior year. Even though I lived two years away from home, at this high school there were plenty of restrictions that we had that did not prepare me to the freedom of college life. When I moved to Embry Riddle in Florida, I had so much freedom and there was so much that I could do and wanted to do but not enough time for everything. All through my first semester, I had to learn time management so I could keep my grades up and do things that I was interested in. I struggled through my first semester because I had poor time management skills. If I could go back and talk to my high school self I would tell her to learn to get in the habit of making a schedule that prioritized what is important and what could wait. I would have saved myself from so many sleepless nights.

If I could talk to my high school self, the first thing I would tell him is what to expect in his first semester chemistry lab, because that class was hard! I'd also tell him not to take that class at 8:15am, or any class at that time, as he is not, and never will be, a morning person. I would tell him to stay strong through the mediocre school food, and to start seriously looking for a car earlier than I did. I would also tell him to start the scholarship search earlier. I would also tell him that the people who said "no one will clean your bathroom for you in college" were wrong! Also he should be reassured that at Embry-Riddle, social awkwardness won't matter, as everyone is too busy studying for outgoing social gatherings to matter, plus the friends he's going to make from day one will help bring him out of that shell a lot. Also, he should take some of mom's mashed potatoes with him. He's going to miss those.

I would tell myself to focu more on your studdies. You are doing marvelous in college but not good enough to reach your highest potential. Keep up with all of your school work and make sure to work hard in everything you do. Give your all in everything as always but work harder to obtain your goals. Learn from your sister and don't be what everyone thinks you'll turn out to be, if bad.

If I could go back and talk to myself I would most likely yell at myself to do more scholarships. It is imperative to to as many scholarships as you can in high school as you can as so many scholarships out there are geared toward high school students. No matter how insignificant a scholarship seems or how little of a chance of winning you have it is worth an hour of your time to go from never winning to possibly have a significant portion of your college semester paid for. My other piece of advice is always make time to study. No matter how much you work and relax and whatever else you do there is always time to study because that is the whole reason you are there, to learn and get an education to succeed. Work around your study schedule because that is the most important part of college ever and the key to your future.

take more advanced technical classes and don't goof off as much.
