Louisiana Tech University Top Questions

I would tell my self to learn to study. A good study strategy goes a long way in helping your grades in college. You learn quickly that you have to study notes and read in order to be successful even if you may not have had to in high school. If you establish a good study habit in high school you are not shocked when you have to adapt, and develope a technique. Any practice and habits formed that helped in high school will be extremly effective in college. I wish I had established a good strategy before college so I did not have to figure out studying while I was in classes and having tests.

If I were to go back in time to give advice to my highschool self about the transition into college, I would tell myself to be more prepared. I wasn't really prepared so it made the transition hard for me. I would want myself to have an easier transition. I would have to say, the harder transition was probably better for me to go through. I feel that it may have made me a stronger person, learning that I am an adult, and my parents won't give everything to me my whole life. It was time to see that big changes were to come my way in my future. All I would have to tell myself is to just be more prepared. My whole life changed at one time, when i made the transition into college.

I would tell myself to learn about calculus and programming becasue Tech expects freshman to know alot.

I would tell myself to buckle down beginning freshman year. I had a rough freshman year transitioning from high school to a university. I didn't focus on school like I needed to so I wound up going back to a community college my sophmore year before eventually getting into the University of Florida. It was tough I would warn myself that way I could better prepare. I wasted precious time and money not doing very well and I would just tell myself to put all my time and energy into school and work as hard as possible because it definitely will pay off in the long run.

Hey, Kiera. I know this is wierd but I'm the college 'you' and i've got some advice for you, even though you might not want to listen. Try to work a little harder in your classes, join one of the clubs, get into something more useful or do some volunteering. Any of these things can bring you a scholarship or grants to pay for college and make it a little easier on Mom. I know you're thinking 'this is crazy' but, you need to start thinking about college and how you will be able to afford it. Right now I, well you are having a very hard time paying for your courses and are a little clueless to your payment options. You may have to dropout because of this, so go do your research and look up as many options as you can. We want the best for us, don't we? Good Luck

I would tell myself that it doesn't matter what people think of you, it only matter how you think of yourself. Also you need to cut your parents some slack, they didn't grow up in your generation and they are doing the best they can.Something else sto stress is DON'T STRESS, don't worry about craming your head when you've already studies. Trust that you know it and you'll be fine. And most importantly where college is concerned do your research!!! Find out about when to do your fasfa, about how much books and supplies will cost, and all the other little things they never tell you about.

i would tell myself to not put college off, earning money is great but going to school at the same time is even better. Almost every entry-level position requires some school background; it always looks better. Ignore distractions and focus on bettering your future, when it comes down to it, you are the person responsible for paying your own bills. I would also say that college is nothing like high school, your success depends on your drive and dedication. Teacher's on not going to hold your hand and spoon feed you. Learn to be independent and work hard; it will all pay off in the end. Last but not least, make goals and stick with them even when it gets hard.

If I could go back in time and talk to the high school me, I would let myself know college is a necessity in life. I would tell myself to focus on the important aspects of my life, and to stop worrying about being with a particular person. I would also let myself know that college won't be an easy task, but it is possible if I put my mind to the challege. The most important thing I would tell myself would be that choosing a major I will stick with is the key to getting through college. If I choose a major I don't have a passion about, I will fail, as well as waste a lot of time. I will assure myself that college isn't all classes, books, and exams, but also a lot of fun. College is what you make of it. Lastly, I would tell myself to stay in school until I reach my goals.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, i would tell me seld to work as hard as i could. I would tell myself not to take any short cuts and to practice taking good notes. I would tell myself to worry more about my school more then about my senior year coming to an end. I worked hard as a senior but i know there were times when i just wanted to be out of highs school and into college. I always worked hard and got my work done, but i know i could have done a lot better.

I would say to myself is first off. go away to college becasue its a very good experince. You well know and meet different people see how others are living. make sure you know all you can know. study hard and stay focus.
