Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus Top Questions

I would give myself this advice: Do exactly what you're planning to do, because that lead me to a rewarding and fulfilling college life. Go out and make as many friends as you can, explore everything, study hard, and stay balanced. Remember that you're among the best of the best, and that the average here is really smart in the real world. Oh, and avoid 8am classes! They're not as "late morning" as they sound to a young woman who gets up at 6:15, trust me!

Do my homework! Be prepared and turn it in on time. Have a planner and write down when each assignment is due.

Don't sweat it. You are going to get in. You will have to work hard to get what you want, but you will be surrounded by great friends who will be there for you and be positive encouragment throughout, you are blessed! Enjoy it, but not too much:P

If I was to give advice to my old self, I would tell myself to find out what he really wants to do with his life. Choose something you would enjoy doing, and make sure its right. It is way more important to do something you love then to choose the wrong thing for your life. Learn how to study properly. Classes will be difficult, and it will be stressful. Do not ever be afraid to get help from someone. People are there for you to help out, and give advice for you. You can't do everything by yourself, and sometimes other people have wisdom that they can give to you. Learn to be financially responsible. Now that you are away from your parents, it is your job to pay your way for social events. Learn to save, and learn what things you should truly value in life. Money is a very scarce resource, and you should try to watch over it as best as possible. Above all, believe in yourself. Don't count yourself out. Things will be hard, but I know you can make it through it. That would be my advice.

Take Better Notes! Even though you took both Physics and AP Physics, you still have to take it again. Also, Please take the AP English Exam, just another class towards college graduation. Save your money now, because college is very expensive and you never really know what you have to pay for at any given time. You will have some hard times, but remember Mommy and Daddy have always got your back, through the 100's and 57's. I would tell you to make great friends, but you always do and stick with them. Just stay focused, stay prayed up, and stay calm because you can do this, you already are.

My senior year in high school was stressful in meeting deadlines for college applications. Entering college I would advise myself to quickly get to know your faculty and students. This exposure will definitely help me pursue my major more quickly with more focus, less insecurity, and smoother transition.

If I could go back in time, I would have so much to tell myself. College is no joke and moving into a university such as the Georgia Institute of Technology is definitely not an easy task. My mind set my senior year of high school was no where near where I needed to be moving into college. I would most likely slap myself silly and explain to myself that I need to realize that I am receiving an amazing opportunity and need to start thinking about my future. As far as other advise for living on campus, I would let myself know that living on my own is not the same as having my mom clean and look after me. That first year on campus is a test of if you can handle maintaining your own self and it requires much more attention and focus than living at home. The last thing I would advise myself is that college is an overwhelming environment but it is important to stay calm and never lose sight of your goals and the reasons why you chose to pick that school.

Bret, I can now say with full confidence in my words that I love you for who you are. You will take several years for you to understand that, but have faith that things will get better. We were in dark times and they were in no way your fault. You will accomplish great things in your time and you no longer have to be afraid of being alone again. The transition will be hard for you, but strive ever onwards. You have the ability within you. Conquer it. My advice for you is find love for yourself. You will travel alone, but only for a time. Soon, you will find a ray of sunshine that brings you out of darkness and into the light. Yes, you are broken, but you will be rebuilt into something wonderful. Do not lose sight of who you are and do not be compromised by others. I can say this in full confidence because I have met her. She who will give your life a meaning you cannot even comprehend. She is beautiful and I cannot wait for you to meet her, hug her, and love her.

Kinzie here is a list that I think will come in handy for your upcoming semester at Georgia Tech. 1. Remember that you are a whole person & that to neglect any one aspect of health is to neglect them all. 2. Just because someone is nice to you does not mean they have your best interest at heart or good motivations. 3. Remember to be discplined in all things, because discipline leads to freedom which alone leads to happiness. This discipline will serve you well in school and in life. 4.
