Idaho State University Top Questions

If I could go back and talk to my high school self I would tell myself to focus on school more and not my social life. I would tell myself to have more confidence in my ability to do well in school. I would tell myself that it is much easier to get what I need to do for school done in high school, like taking dual credit courses and getting good grades then it will be to have to go back and do it once I am in college. I would also tell myself that my views whether social, political or other views will change in college and that I will realize how little I really know and how much I want and have to learn.

I would tell myself don't stress yourself out, college life is so much better than high school. Live the summer to its fullest, college doesn't start until fall. Just remember apply for all the scholorships you can, and still be prepared. Life happens and not everything works out like we planned. The most important thing I want you to remember over everything else is thank your parents for all the support they give to you. You're really going to miss them so tell them everyday how much they mean to you and soak up as much of their advice as you can. Finally don't lose site of your dreams. Something may look better on paper, but its not what you want and it won't make you happy. Keep the dream you started with and put everything into become who you want to be. The only way you won't make it is if you tell yourself you can't. You have the best support in the world, so use it. Life is hard learning to love it is easy.

If i could go back and tell myself what i know now i would tell myself to talk to an advisor right away about majors as an undergraduate. I would explain that pre-physical therapy is not a major, just requirements to get into the physical therapy program here. I would also tell myself to get decorations for my room because that's where i would spend most of my time and so it's better to make it feel more like home then leave the room bare of my personality. The most important thing i would tell myself is that no matter what i should be independent and be myself. In college you can't rely on other people for help as much because not everyone has to take the same classes. Also by being independent it would have given me more freedom my first semester to have fun while i went to class and i would have made more friends rather than avoiding other people. Otherwise i would simply tell myself to take the new experiences as they come because that's the best you can do and that;s the best way to learn for the future.

If I could go back in time and help myself as a high school senior, I would make sure that I told myself to sign up for all the ACT's possible and to get an earlier jump on scholarships because there are a lot out there and a lot of them have early deadlines. I would also tell myself that the grades that I get in High school really carry on into my college career.

If I was back in high school my options would be learning and understanding English classes. Another would be attend some college courses in high school and recieves credit in college when you attend. And most of all, getting good grades in all courses that are required in high school. Probably mt next advice would to stay away from boys that might lead to marriage.

If I could go back there are two important things I would say to myself. Actually, I wouldn't just say it I would yell it at myself Anatalia Carrillo go to class and hand in your homework. Stop being such a baby and expecting teachers to keep track of you and telling you to hand in your homework. I would continue my ranting by saying when you get into college if you don't go to every class you will fail so get used to it now. As for the homework part teachers will tell you one time and one time only when you need to hand something in and it needs to be handed in when they say. They will not take your homework late they have too many things to do to be after you reminding you that you have an assignment and that it needs to be handed in. Stop your procrastination and get it done you're a big girl now and you don't need your teachers to be your mother as well.

If I were to go back in time and see myself as a senior in High School, I would have quite a bit to say. I would tell myself that I need to focus more on certain aspects of learning, to develop better studying habits so it wouldn't get in the way later. I'd also tell myself that I should be prepared for a big change but a pleasent one. I'd tell me to make sure that when I go, that I'm prepared financially and mentally. Along with all the academic advice I'd also tell myself that I need to be a little more open and have a lot of fun in college. Although it's a really important and serious time in life, it's also one of the most fun times in life as a youth. So study hard and do your best, yet still have lots of fun and enjoy yourself!

When I was a senior in high school I thought my life was so easy. I had a job that I only worked at for 3 hours a week and great friends. Now if I could go back and tell myself what not to do I would tell myself this: "Get a real job. For the rest of your life you are going to be working and there's no better time to get experience. Also college is extremely expensive and you need to start saving some money to help your parents out with paying for tuition, housing, food, and books. You need to practice better study habits. In college there's no one telling you to do your homework. You have a great gpa and in order to get good grades in college you need to study. Start creating those habits now. You also need to step out of your comfort zone and meet new people. You will not know anyone when you get to school and will need to make new friends. Also know that your family is always there for you and even though it's easy to get homesick look at the bright side of things!"

hey, dude! look, work and save up! this world is filled with opportunity, however their not given to everyone.

If I could go back in time to when I was a high school senior, I would tell myself to never give up no matter what. I'd tell myself to try my best and even though times get rough, you can pull through. There are people who are willing to help and not to be too shy to look for help. I would also tell myself to stay focused in school and not procrastinate. I would also tell myself to always listen to the instructors, take good notes and learn how to study for each class, because every class is so different.
