Rhode Island College Top Questions

If I could, I would go back to tell myself several things. One I would tell myself to be strong and not fear what the future holds, it may be scary and unknown, but it is also amazing. It holds many great people and great times, you'll experience enjoyment in a class like none you have taken before, it will forever change your life and make up your mind for you. Second I would tell myself that regardless of how terrible or difficult it seems to be at any point while attending the new campus, to keep going, to be strong, and fight towards a better future. Sure there will be some bumpy parts and rough classes and time full of difficulty, but it will all be worth it. Finally I would tell myself to relax, that even though college is new and hard, it's nothing you cant handle, you're better than you think you are and much stronger as well. So go get it, forge ahead, and make something incredible out of yourself.

This past week I lost a very good friend to cancer. He graduated in my class and was one of the srongest kids I have ever met in my life and probably will remain that way forever. Reflecting on his life and what he left behind, he taught me to look past an individuals differences. It does not matter the skin color, what they wear, their religious beliefs, their financial status or where they sit in the lunch room , look at everyone equally. Do not take anyone or life for granted. I wish I found myself sooner. I wish instead of trying to figure out who I was all throughout high school and where I would be in a few years, to just except and love what was happening around me. Smile at the person next to me for no reason, say hi to the kid in the corner because you never know their story. Appreciate the life you have and edure the struggles each day may bring because you never know what will happen in a month, a week, a day, or in one single minute. I would tell my young niave self to "love the life you live".

hi ME from the past, this is you...I... from the future... you know what I mean. currently im a freshman at Rhode island College. I know this is not you dream college but you will definitely fall in love with it. I want you to know that college and high school are not the same. Teachers in high school practically take your hand and guide you when you get lost, in college you in in the Lord, instructors/ professors will not. you should learn how to manage your time and focus on school work. Make good decisions and stay on the right track. Everything is posible if you try your hardest. never give up! Even when it looks like your failing and even if you fail, just take a deep breath, relax, and try again. always, always trust in the Lord. He will guide and protect you. Work hard and Good Luck! Love, Me.... You From the future.

Keep doing what your doing now, your on the right path, keep going at it the way you are going at it. When you are finished with your drivers License, take some time and relax, college is stressful and you will only be able to register for ten hours of class, and you will be taking two remediel courses for English in the fall. When you get your drivers education book, buckle down and study it as much as you can, Secondlife can wait to be played later. When you are done, there is nothing to do but relax for two months.

They would be many decisions that I would make to myself if I was a high school senior again. One of my biggest recommendation is how important college in life is. I always knew that college is not only important in the educational level, but also in the personal aspect too! You wouldn't want to be someone with money but with no education, what good is that. I prefer living within the normal needs but have a solid background. Remember when a human dies that's they take. Also reinforce my math skills, and also I wish I would off involved myself more in school and outside activities beside soccer, and salsa dancing. In addition find different types of help with scholarships, and methods how to improve collge experience for the next four years. Furthermore visit the college that I will be attending to have an idea how is the atmosphere. Lastly find more information about the major I will be in collge for. All in all since I know that I can't return time I wish my message would be passed to many seniors in high school so they see the importance of education (college).

If I had the chance to go back and talk to myself I would start out by questioning my taste in boys and clothes. After that I would encourage myself to encourage others to go to college. Experiencing the struggle of supporting myself and watching other people around me struggling with the same thing made me realize how important it is to our futures that we get a degree. I would tell myself to fill out more scholarship applications and put a little bit more money away when I had the chance. I would have told myself to look for a mentor who has already been to college. I would definitely tell past Tabitha to study financial aid a lot. The biggest struggle during the transition from high school to college is figuring out the financial end of the deal. I would conclude our conversation by telling myself what a great job I'm doing and that I have a bright future ahead of me. "Don't get down on the bad days Tabitha, it’s worth it. Remember the good always outweighs the bad." Past Tabitha would respond caringly by reminding me to “loosen up”.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself during my senior year in high school I would tell myself not to worry too much about having fun because focusing on school is more important and though you may think you can go out and party and put off homework, due dates come faster than you think. I would also tell myself not to hang out with the wrong people because there are some serious consequences. The most important thing I would tell myself is not to get overwhelmed by all the work that I receive, at first it might seem scary but it is completely worth it.

To be ready to focus on school work more then my own social life.

College is the first time that you will actually have freedom away from home.. With this freedom comes a lot of responsibility. It is very important to make connections when you go to college. Meet as many people as you can and always introduce yourself to professors and faculty. Join clubs, and sports, and other activities on campus. Stay involved because the more people you know the better off you are. It is also important to stay focused on your academics. This is why you are at college so take your academic life seriously. Make sure to keep a calender or schedule because there will always be a lot going on and in order to remember school work, meetings, practices and more you need to stay organized. Find friends that will always be there for you and who will stay up all night just to talk. It is imortant to make friends because you can get lonely without them. College is a time to work hard but also to have fun. It goes by way to fast so enjoy the time you have before you are working 9 to 5!

Dear Past Self, You have a lot ahead of you; joys and difficulties alike. Successful accomplishing of your goals will take organization, careful planning, and diligence. Most importantly, though, you're going to need to learn the art of Perseverance. These next couple of years will bring experiences that test you; they'll stretch you till you think you might split in half! That's okay though---you can make it through. Don't give up! Tests and studying will, at times, make your brain feel like a stuffed pig! This too shall pass, and you'll be all the smarter for it. Don't give up. It's worth it in the end. Whether you're juggling car problems, rushing from class to make it to your part-time job or just trying to build relationships with friends during your time off from real "learning," you'll be learning still; the importance of tenacity. Life takes perseverance. Don't give up! Never surrender to difficult challenges; only be strong and courageous when you face them. Just like the "Little Engine That Could," if you just keep thinking you can…eventually, you WILL.
