Macomb Community College Top Questions

One of the things that I would have told myself is to save more money for college and to create a savings plan for all of my major future expenses. I would have told myself to also manage my time so I could spend more time with my friends as well as keep up good grades in my classes. Furthermore, showing myself the need to have a car to go to work to pay for college, I would have prioratized a payment schedule to start my earnings sooner. I would have discussed certain expenses that I would only have realized later in life. Finally, I would have told myself to keep determined and to always look forward. Nothing is more importent than a secure future and a well planned educational goal.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself I would only say one thing, growing up is hard. In almost 19 years of life I can honestly say one major thing I have learned, is nothing in life comes easy. No matter where I go or what I would like to become I am in control of my future. Effort, ambition and the belief that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to are factors that I will need to carry for the rest of my life. While sitting here analyzing this question I am being asked, "what would I tell myself?" Honestly, I am glad I did not know the things I know now. Life and growing up is a battle that only you can concur. Learning from your mistakes is only half the fun.

I wish that I would have know then that my peers couldn't really care less about my appearance. College is very laid back, and no one dresses up. I think that its a much better experience in comparison to high school. Its less of the social scene and more studying and grades. Its a whole different kind of pressure and a completely different experience. Students are concentrating more on their futures and less on materialistic things. Everyone is in the same situation, trying to pay for school, working, taking classes. Everyone is broke and exhausted, so you dont get the pressure of having expensive things and looking your best everyday. If I had the chance, there is no way that I wouldn't go back to high school, but I love college.

I would just tell myself to get serious about my grades. And get focused.

That college life is not as easy as you would think. To study hard and pay more attention in class stop fooling around.
