Southeastern University Top Questions

I would say to myself, "Go to class, pay attention, do your work. Learn all that is offered to you. The people you are so worried about impressing now will go their own ways and leave you standing by yourself. College is not easy, it is not high school, but if you will realize that it is essential to your future career and life in the beginning, you will not regret it. Have fun, get involved in activities, but don't lose sight of why you are there. You can do this. Set your goals and go for it!!"

If I could go back into time and talk to myself as a high school senior, i would have told myself to prepare more and that the college experience is totally different than how things are in college. I would have told myself to read the books over the summer and be well prepared for each class for the fall. Also i would of told myself not to be so hard on myself for the first year because since it is something new you have to transition smoothy or otherwise you will go super crazy. But i also would have told myself that it is college but there will also be sometimes where you can have fun. And in the end everything will pay off.

I would have told myself to be ready for more challenges. I would have said that college isn't all fun and games, but neither is it all work and no play. I would tel myself that when my car breaks down, to make sure there's a bike available. I would say to find more money for college, and make sure that what you want to do is the right thing for you.

I would say Malcolm what are you doing, are you kidding me? Why aren't you applying for scholarships and or grants you say you want to attend college well a big portion of college is the cost so how do you plan to pay for it? I would challenge myself to apply for atleast 2 scholarships a day.

I would have taken my High School years more seriously. I was given the opportunity to dual enroll into a junior college and chose not to. Had I chosen that path I would have remained in school and the transition would have been much easier. I would have also graduated already. However, I have just recently decided to go back to school to further my education. Trying to get back into the routine and study habits is going to take self disclipline. A disclipline I am willing to put great effort into as I have goals and dreams to achieve. Anything worth having is worth working for, including a college degree. Yes, I could have already graduated had I done things differently. However, this time has given me the opportunity to mature and to discover what I want to acheive in life and what is important to me. While some younger college students will be struggling between studies and parties I will be focused on studying so that I can continue the business I am trying to start.

I would tell myself to manage my social life and my academics wisely. Now that I am a sophmore in college I have to learn how to set myself apart from my frineds and just study more. I have good grades but i want A's on my report card, the sky is the limit. Also I would tell myself to get a job!!

Dear Nachombe, I know you've heard it a thousand times, "College is nothing like High school" well it is true. Remember those papers you used to write a few minutes before class, or those assignments you were able to turn in weeks after the due date; enjoy the memory it ends there! In college there are no excuses or "sob stories", there is only room for results! I learned that the habits I develop and keep now will continue later in life, which means that you have alot of studying to do! Trust me it helps you in the long run! My advice to you is this: Study more, read more, research every scholarship known to man-kind (you need every cent you can get!), and learn to apply what you learn! Though it has been a tough journey, it was well worth the knowledge and experience! I know you can do it, just start applying yourself more and be more confident in who you are! College is the first step to the rest of your life, and I must say it looks bright! Rememeber study, study, study!

There would not be entirely too much I would tell my self if I could return to my high school senior year. In the most part, I believe I did well with my choices, but one thing that I would have done is dual-enroll. College is expensive and having paid for, dual-enrolled classes to take care of my general education classes would have been nice and saved me money. I worked my senor year with only one high school class. I could have easily made my work load in college easier. Other than that, I would tell myself to wait a few more months to buy my Mac book because they upgraded right after I bought it. In terms of college life, I was on the right path in high school. I stayed the same throughout my schooling. If anything, I would say avoid the girl I met my freshman year, but that's not important. In the end, the choices I made led me to my coming graduation and my fianc?. I am very happy with the life I have found and I look forward to the future it holds.

If i was a high school student giving myself advice, I would tell myself that life is not about you. If we give with a loving heart, encourage others instead of tearing them down, and put the past behind us that there would be no obstacle to overcome. The obstacles in front of us are usually built by us. Insecurity of the future is built by our past we won't let go of. Fear is the illusion of defeat. That our mind is selfish and our heart is deceitful. That there is only one thing that can free us from it all; faith. Understanding that faith is a gift from God and shouldn't be taken for granted. That's the truth.

College is the door to success. Take everything seriously, work hard, do your projects on time, and talk to your professors. If you work hard and pay attention nothing is impossible! Also, apply to as many scholarships as you can. Even if you don't think it applies 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} to yourself, apply and then see what happens.
