Franklin Pierce University Top Questions

I would tell myself to focus more on writing. In high school writing isn't as stressed as it should be. When you get to college basically every class you take entails writing papers.

If I could go back and give myself information that I previously didn't have, I would without a doubt tell myself that whenever a teacher tells you that your ability to manage time wisely is extremely important, they're one hundred percent correct. In college there is nothing more important than your ability to manage time between classes and homework. There is much more free time in college which is good if used correctly, but also extremely dangerous if used to take a nap instead of doing your homework or studying. Another piece of advice I would give myself would be in the senior year of high school, start to really pretend that you're living on your own by taking care of all of your own things and cleaning up after yourself. It's a small task but when there's nobody to help you out with all of your cleaning and laundry, it can be a daunting task.

I would give my self a lot of advice! I had a hard time transiting into Freshman year of college. Possibly the reason could have been that I wasnt going to my first choice schools. But what I would tell myself is give FPU a chance. I did have a hard time adjusting but now I love it and would not make a different choice.

Upon first arriving at college, I'll admit I was a mess. If I could tell my high school self something to help make the transition is that it gets better. Making friends is a lot easier than it seems because everyone is as nervous as you are to be at college where you don't know anyone. Even if you don't like your roommate, it's easy enough to change and live with someone you do like. It is all a learning process and no matter how bad the first few days or even weeks seem, it becomes a great experience. College is where you make life long friends and take the classes that will lead you to a job you will love. Don't give up on your dreams just because you have a rough start. Push through those hard times because in the end, it will all be worth it.

The advice I would give myself is to stop sweating the small stuff and stop giving so many extra chances to the people who don't deserve it. I only just learned how much time I waste on others instead of just focusing on me. I think if my high school self could have known that I would have done even better than I did and high school and maybe been even more prepared for the huge changes that happened for me as I got to college. I could have been more focused on what really mattered and not the things that won't be in my future or in my life at all in ten years. I would have made sure my high school self knew that and that the me then focused on my future.

It all gets easier. All the pain and tears you went through and the fighting with mom and dad will pay off. By the time you graduate you will know where you will be going and your life will only continue to grow. When you step onto campus in July for STEP Day all your dreams will be coming through and it is just life all falling into place. You're gonna survive and make the most of what you get. Just hang in there.

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have a lot of advice to give myself. The main point that I would stress would be to visit to as many schools as possible. When I was a senior, I didn't visit as many schools as I could have. I would also have told myself to fill out as many college applications as possible, because the college you choose carves a path to your future. I would have told myself not to get too upset about being rejected by a school, or let that minor setback discourage me. Something very important to warn myself about would have been to not stop looking at schools just because I've already accepted, and that transfering freshman year was also a possibility. The last piece of advice I would have given, would have been to apply for as many scholarships as possible so that I could continue recieving them throughout my 4 years, that would have saved a lot of money in loans that have been taken out so far.

I would tell myself to not worry, and that things seem to work out if you do what you can and are willing to try hard. Things can always be better, but they can certainly be worse. As long as you can keep your eyes on the prize it will stay in reach.

Hey Dave: This is ghost of your college future talking..How are you doing? Listen, all those applications and eassys you are writing are almost finished..WHEW<

If icould go back and see myself in high school i would tell myself to save as much mney as i can because college drains your funds. I would also tell myself to keep in touch with the friendsyou had in highschool because when you come home on the breaks you have to have someone to hang out with. I would also tell myself not to get stressed over the little stuff. Also i would tell myself to use the library alot, they ae your friends not your enemies. And of corse the big one wouldbe to go to class!
