Ohio University-Main Campus Top Questions

Throught high school i was laid back when it came to work . I was always told by teachers and my mother that college was going to be fun, diffrent, and in some ways harder. I did not think much of it. Now that i have experienced college for a quarter if i could go back and talk to myself in high school i would have told myself to study more. Study so that when you go to college its not as much as a shock. Study so you can learn what the right study technique for you is. I would tell my self that it would make your life so much easier. Plus the work you do in high school is nothing compared to college so do the best you can.

just know that the people that care about you are never too far away. just do your best, stay away from the t.v. and junk food and make the most of the gym and people that you meet. It's college. There is time for both work and play.

Hindsight is always twenty-twenty, and after a year in college the truth of that statement resonates. I could make a rather long list of decisions that I would like to tell myself to make differently. However, adaptation occurs, and despite all the wrong turns and missed opportunities, I am finally on a road I am happy with. On the way to that route there were roadblocks of inefficient studying, wrong turns of majors, and long detours via Facebook. Of all the impediments though, the one street I missed and most regret, was reaching out and meeting new people as a freshman. That opportunity is similar to a one-way street. It is simple to go flying past it, but difficult to turn on to once missed. As a sophomore people have already formed many of their relationships and friend groups. Also, there aren?t the same opportunities to meet others. Orientations are over and introductions are harder to come by. However, I haven?t given up. While I missed the opportunity to become friends with some very amazing people, I did learn a lesson. I know now, to reach out when opportunity presents, and turn on to that street.

Study Hard, do not party too much.

I would say to my past self to work harder because life doesn't end when you finish high school it's just the beginning of the journey that you won't regret taking , choose a college wisely and don't wait until the last minute to realize what you want to do in life because business can open so many oppurnities into the proffession your trying to pursue . socialize with more people, be involved in more school activities to stay healthy and focused

Hey, remember that time when you met Hannah for time and ended up being able to count on her when you got really homesick around the time of your birthday? Oh, and when you signed up for that one class that you thought for sure you would hate but ended up loving? Or when you actually stayed in on a Friday night to study and went out on a Tuesday night to party? How about when you finally got the courage to ask the professor a question after class and she ended up explaining everything in terms that helped you understand AND pass the class? You can't forget that one hallway where you accidentally walked in on the wet floor and fell, spilling your coffee everywhere but meeting Mike when he came to help you clean up all your books. What about when you did your laundry for the first time, or when you refered to your dorm room as "home" for the first time? Or, remember when you invented that time machine to make it possible to go back in time? No?... Oh well, don't worry. You will. P.S. Don't skip class on October 12th.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to remain true to myself. As a senior in college, I have lived a lifetime through my college career and experienced many things. The most important thing for me to remember would be to stay strong and independent. All too often, I have seen individuals fall into the trap of comformity. Ohio University is an extremely diverse campus and the students are very accepting of different cultures and beliefs. It is easy anywhere you go, however, to get caught up in the beliefs of others so quickly when first coming to college. I respect myself for the way I have remained myself through my college career, but I often forgot what an independent and empowered individual I could truly be. I would tell myself to remember the fact that I am capable of dealing with difficult decisions and situations on my own and I am a strong woman. I am proud of myself as an individual and I have been lucky to finally find the truest friends possible. I would tell myself to remain focused on my goals at all times.

I would definately say to take Freshman year seriously. If you don't do well your freshman year, you will be making up for it the rest of your time. Also be very open to meeting new people and taking every oppertunity that comes to you if it is a positive one. Get involved in lots of clubs and things!

I would tell myself to pull your head out of your ass and go to college! If you have a degree in the field you love your life will be more fullfilling. You wouldn't have to work for a bunch of a-holes and struggle at being a single parent and working whatever jobs are available. Oh, yes that guy you gave your future up for is a L-O-S-E-R!!

I transitioned properly. I am receiving very good grades in college and I have a great social life.
