Fullerton College Top Questions

I would tell myself to apply for more scholarships than I did back then, and I would also tell myself to be more focused on classes and to stop procrastinating.

With the amount of knowledge I was able to gain over the years in college, I would tell my high school senior self to major in Language and Culture, and Arts for Visual Arts as a college student. Although it was not easy changing majors, it was for my best interest to give up career in science for career as an artist. It is definitely one of the biggest regrets I have as a college student that I had not figured out what career I had really wanted. If I was prepared to be an artist during my freshman year in college, I would most likely have finished college by now with an Art certificate and apply for jobs in the industries. I have also studied Japanese as a foreign language as a result of changing my major. I wanted to have another skill as an artist, which is to speak multiple languages to give myself competitive edge in the industries for visual artists. As of this moment, I am pursuing an Art certificate, as well as a degree in Japanese and I certainly wished I had pursued these educational goals after graduating high school.

If i were to go back in time as a high school senior, I would advise myself to do better and take as many opportunities as I could have to obtain more life experience. Although I am content with where I currently stand, I wish I had not skipped out on the opportunities that could have landed me a scholarship or even an internship. Also, looking back, I would have advised myself to be more open to diversity of cultures and people around me. College has been a huge eye opener in a sense that there is more to school than your circle of friends and just doing enough work to get by. College has taught me work ethic, acceptance of different people, and allowed me to mature as a person. The experiences that I have already obtained through college have taught me to not be so judgemental and that school work is not just busy work anymore. So, basically my advise to myself if I were to go back in time, would be to be open about the culturally diverse population, stay diligent in my studies, and enjoy the company of others.

I would inform myself to prepare for the road ahead me, get all the information I would need and do everything much earlier. I would apply to more scholarships and look hardeerr for a job to pay for school. I look into the courses I would need and make a plan of how I would go about choosing the courses needed and which order I would take them in so as to be more organized and not just trying to get courses I do not understand or courses I do not need. I would put be able to inform myself of how to better manage my time, how to apply to the classes I need and avoid the ones I do not need. I would also infiorm myself of the costs involved with not thinking ahead. I would be able to better prioritize and get things together or at least avoid all the other wrongs about trying to get what I would need to do to succeed in college.

While the transition to college is, undoubtedly, an exciting and important part of one's life, it is more than simply moving from one school to another. In addition to the spectacular education you're about to receive, you will be expected to start thinking and behaving like an adult. While no one would expect such a change to happen overnight, it's important to realize that the lifestyle you are transitioning into is drastically different than the one you have been living for the past 18 years. Everything, from your health to the grades you earn, are your responsibility. Most importantly, the cost college will not be left to your parents or to the government to pay, but to you alone. Starting now, you need make lowering the cost of college a priority for yourself. Scholarships are everywhere, just waiting to be taken hold of and used to further one's educational dreams. College and all of its associated responsiblities will be stressful enough without having to amass mountains of debt. Do yourself a favor, and work hard to earn scholarships now so that you don't have to pay for college later. You'll be glad you did.

I would tell myself to buckle down on my academic knowledge in order to be able to register for better classes. Also, I would tell myself to work harder than usual but take breaks as well. I have realized that breaks are important for my well being and overall success as a student. Along with that, I would tell myself not to waste time with various time consuming activities. Instead, I would advice myself to read more books and to spend more time with family. Finally, I would stress the importance of applying for scholarships! College is not cheap and I really need all the financial help I can get, so I am grateful for the opportunity to receive a scholarship from CampusDiscovery! Thank you!

To my high school senior self; I'm sure you're aware of the things you could be doing better, but fortunately, nothing you did, are doing, or will do are things that I look back on with much regret. You're a good kid, and you have gotten so much better since the time you first began high school. There are; however, a couple things that I would like to address. First, you started doing sports, which is great, but you're not doing it whole-heartedly, and you're aware of that. That needs to change. Push harder. Be a part of the team. It's hard, but it's so worth it. If you get into the rhythm and routine of trying harder, it'll take you so much farther than you thought it would. Second, don't worry too much about having friends to sit with. If you settle for people to be around- just so you're not alone- it can seriously hold you back. Be brave, be smart, and be content with what you're doing, and you'll accomplish so much. Worry is not an emotion that'll help you here.

If I could back in high school to speak to myself as a senior I would say: do not stress out so much since things tend to work out one way or another. Enjoy your senior year and continue to work hard. Senior year is fleeting and hard work always pays off- etiher now or in the long run.

With what I know at the present time, I would give advice to myself as a high school senior to determine the absolute career I want to live with for the rest of my life. I definitely would not have seen where I currently am at the present as a high school senior. Going through college experience and figuring out what potential I have now that I did not know I had really changes my perspective and know what kind of expectations I have for myself now. High school seniors expect new life after graduating high school and seek opportunities for their lives. Because unexpected things happen through the course of our lives, some things may alter changes with small or big impact. Ultimately, I want to keep doing what I have the passion to do. I wish I had some insight I have now that I did not have as a high school senior. I believe that if I did have the insight during my high school senior year, I would have been closer to a career that I seek today.

Experince, Experince is everything you will need in life to succeed. Your Experiences will allow me to handle situations that may seem hard when it hits you square in the face but you will be able to overcome them through adversity. Adversity is a word I Knew nothing of while i was in high school. If I could go back in time this is exactly what I would tell myself
