Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne Top Questions

I would give the advice to do my best and to work hard. I would manage my time accordingly and also I would use all the help I can get. I would also tell myself to ask question when needed.

I would tell myself to live on campus and get a job right away. I would make sure to get more involved at school. I would tell myself to be quicker to make a decision on what I want to major in and also choose my classes better. I would also make sure that to push myself more and procrastinate less.

I would tell myself to focus more on the classes that i didnt enjoy that much. Becuase you have to take a lot of those in college, and the ones you didnt do so well in during high school really effect how well you do in college with those type of classes. If you come to college with the mindset that you are here to learn and not that "the teachers are here to make you do stuff" then you will do a lot better.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior I would tell myself to explore more options by gaining more infomation about different colleges and universies, going on college vists and appyling for pre-college programs which would better prepare me for college. I would tell myself to talk to my high school conselor about colleges and the do's and don'ts aout choosing a college. I would advise myself to look at more options for financial aid. All and all i would tell myself to be more active in preparing myself for college.

I would tell myself to better prepare. That I should fill my aide classes with an art class and a math class and work harder to get more scholarships. I would advise myself to make sure and apply for schools that i knew I could get a lot of scholarships for and were not to ar from home. I would also tell myself that i should not focus to hard on anthropology, but animation and graphic design because they would work out better for me in the end.

Make sure to look at the possibilities schools have to offer. There are so many different schools with different things to offer and you need to make sure to pick the school you want to go to. College is another chapter of your life and it is important that you will be happy with you choice of school. College is a fun and exciting expereince and you need to be the one that embraces that and makes the choice of the college you will be attending. Although college is different than highschool and you will have a feeling of freedom, college is important and a training for your future. So, college needs to be taken seriously and also be choosen with your future in mind.

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school self about college, there are a few things I'd want to mention. First, I'm something of a shy person and I'd encourage myself to become more involved on campus. I'd also say that even though I was a very good high school student, college is different. At college, good behavior and a minimal amount of work won't get someone an A- like it did in high school. My first year of college work suffered because I didn't know that.

Looking back at a younger and definitely na?ve version of myself, I realize that there are a few things I wish that I would have known or understood before entering college. For me the transition from high school to college was not a difficult one. I took many college prep courses and was prepared for the workload. After attending college for a few years, I now understand the importance of looking beyond the facts of studying to see how the information I am learning relates to myself. . In one of my favorite novels, Les Mis?rables, Victor Hugo writes, ?public education, when it is good, can always bring out the latent usefulness of a soul, no matter what it is like to start with.? I know that by focusing on the outcomes of my studies and by persevering through the trials of being a working student, I am able to find my usefulness as a student and as a productive member of this society in which we all belong. My education is not something that I take lightly. I understand the importance of knowledge not just for furthering my career but also for furthering myself as a person.

I often find myself thinking what I would do if I could go back in time to my high school senior year with the knowledge that I have now as a college junior. I think the best advice I could give my high school self would be to keep working hard and not let anything detour me from making the grade I want to make. Because boyfriends, friends, special activities and events all come and go but there is nothing I can do to change those grades I made from my past and they do have an effect of my future grades. I'm not saying that it is the end of the world but I do wish I gave my full potential back then.

I would advise myself that the most important thing to remember is that time passes by quickly. I would tell myself to take in all I could, soak up any and all information I can to educate myself. Also, education is important...but it's not always a number priority. Friendship is something to be valued, especially once everyone begins to go their separate ways. Remember that you are never alone, no matter how often you may feel like it. Being away from friends and others close to you is always difficult, and even though you things are hard- there are always tougher things. Last, but not least, embrance any all differences there are. College is difficult, but it will open up many doors for you. I think if I had spent less time worrying about my own future in college, I would've had a better ending to my senior year. Nothing can truly prepare you for the unknown, but that doesn't mean it'll be that tough. That's what I wish I would've known my senior year.
